EyeOS in ubuntu 9.10 Step by Step

eyeOS is a kind of operating system which works online, i.e. it manages files on the server and enables the user to upload, download and edit files. We use a Debian 4.0 system for this demonstration purpose.

This tutorial shows the step by step installation and configuration of an eyeOS application which is hosted on your own server.
We need to install PHP and Apache as a basic requirement
#apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php5
Download eyeOS file 
#wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/eyeos/files/eyeos/1.0.1/eyeOS_1.0.1.tar.gz/download
Unpack the file 
#tar-xzvf eyeOS_1.0.1.tar.gz
change the directory to eyeOS directory 
#cd eyeOS_1.0.1
copy the eyeOS files to /var/www folder 
#cp * /var/www
Change the present directory as www
#cd /var/www
change the files inside the directory 
#chmod 777 * 

The actual installation process is accounted for by a php script. We need to execute this in our webbrowser. To do this we navigate to the server or localhost, if you are sitting on the machine. You should see a placeholder page created by the Apache webserver to notify you that the installation worked. Now go into the subfolder eyeOS by appending it to the path in the address bar, and navigate to the file install.php, e.g. http://yourserver/install.php.
 Now a welcome screen will popup ,and it is easy to setup

Webmin in Ubuntu 9.04

Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any browser that supports tables and forms (and Java for the File Manager module), you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and so on.

Webmin consists of a simple web server, and a number of CGI programs which directly update system files like /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/passwd. The web server and all CGI programs are written in Perl version 5, and use no non-standard Perl modules.





Installing Webmin in Ubuntu

 #apt-get update

 Installing the required packages

# sudo apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl

Downloading the package

# wget http://www.webmin.com/download/deb/webmin-current.deb


#apt-get -f install apt-show-versions

#dpkg -i webmin_1.530_all.deb
Restarting the application
#/etc/init.d/webmin restart

And it is done !!!!!!

You can access the webmin using the below URL
