ILIAS 6 and 5.4 Install-Tutorial for Ubuntu 18.04
Selection, DNS, Login
Select the Server
- Look for a vSerer of your choice. For example, got to
https://www.hosteurope.de/Server/Virtual-Server/or try any other provider - Order the server with Ubuntu 18.04 and without Plesk or/and WebAdmin etc.
- Login to the admin pane, for example
https://kis.hosteurope.de/ - Got to Product Admin - Virtual Server and check if a IP is allready assigned
DNS-Settings
- In the next step, you have to link this IP to your FQDN. Example: bbs-ilias.de. I manage my domain also with hosteurope, so I can do these DNS-settings also in the KIS.
- Go to
Product Admin - Domainservices - Domain-Administration - Nameserver- / DNS... - For example, the IP of the server is 176.28.8.65 and my FQDN is bbs-ilias.de. In this case, your config can/should look like the following. The yellow marked fields should exist. Create them with the button
neu anlegen.
Reverse Delegeation
- The following is written vor old Hosteurope vServes with reverse delegation menu
- You can use the following infos on this page not for their new product Virtual Server 10+
- If you use Virtual Server 10+, checkout the Mail-Chapter-page SMTP-Relayserver site after you installed the server
- To set the rerverse DNS (RDNS) correctly got to
Product Admin - IP - Reverse Delegation - Reverse Delegation - Settings should be done for every vserver (in this case 3, you may have only one):
- It may take some time until the new DNS settings are updated. You can check this with a ping in the Terminal or CMD.exe:
ping bbs-ilias.de
Login
- Go back to
Product Admin - Virtual Server->Konfigure - Write down the root password
- Establish a SSH-connection
- Download putty, if you use Windows: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html
- Use Terminal if you use MacOS or linux. Example:
ssh 176.28.8.65 -l root
- Login:
root - Passwort: xxxxxxxxxxxx
- Change root-password (if you want):
passwd
Change SSH-Port
- If you want, change the ssh-port for security reasons:
apt-get install nanonano /etc/ssh/sshd_config- Edit line 13 like this (choose another number of course, remove the #):
Port 1234 /etc/init.d/ssh restart
- Leave ths SSH connection open
- Create a new one with the new port. If this fails, change the settings to original or try again
