Virtual Hosting With vsftpd And PostgreSQL

source: http://howtoforge.com/virtual_hosting_vsftpd_postgresql_freebsd

This document describes how to install a vsftpd server that uses virtual users from a PostgreSQL database instead of real system users. I couldn’t find any tutorial like that on the internet, so when that configuration finally worked for me, I decided to publish it. The documentation is based on FreeBSD 6.2 which I was recently forced to use (I usually use Debian). Nevertheless the document should be suitable for almost any Linux distribution as well (may require very small amendments).

OK, let’s start.

This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions about how to install the free VMware Server on an Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) system. With VMware Server you can create and run guest operating systems (”virtual machines”) such as Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, etc. under a host operating system.

This has the benefit that you can run multiple operating systems on the same hardware which saves a lot of money, and you can move virtual machines from one VMware Server to the next one (or to a system that has the VMware Player which is also free).

NOTE: This guide assumes that you already have a working LAMP server.  If not, then I suggest having a look at “The Perfect Setup - CentOS 4.4 (32-bit) by till”.

A gem in both scale and value, the i-mate JAM ($640 street, as low as $540 with contract) is the world’s smallest Pocket PC PDA/phone. It’s also the only Pocket PC phone that feels truly comfortable in the hand, making it a good (if expensive) choice for folks who desire a phone that runs Microsoft’s OS. Its lack of high-speed networking, though, makes it a poor choice for those who also need on-the-run Internet access.

At 5.4 ounces and only 4.5 by 2.3 by 0.7 inches (HWD), the aluminum-clad i-mate JAM is svelte. A particular design and engineering choice we approve of is the unit’s use of a four-way rocker in place of the usual overabundance of Pocket PC buttons. Surrounding the rocker—without crowding it—are intuitive phone pick-up and hang-up buttons, as well as a calendar and
