FreeBSD 6.2 Server Deployment Guide

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Tue 13th Mar 2007 17:05 UTC, submitted by Rich Morgan

"This document will show the steps to take to deploy a FreeBSD server. This server will have the latest stable from the Apache 2.2 tree, PHP 5, MySQL 5.0, Sendmail with SMTP-AUTH, Webmail, Bind DNS, SNMP, synchronized local time, and Webmin. I have also included steps to take to build a network graphing solution with Rrdtool/Cacti, and this part can be considered optional."

In real life, it's a lot more complicated than that, especially the named configuration. Such a server would not work as expected and its security would not be guaranteed. Take with a pinch of salt.

Agreed.
A nice up and running(?) tutorial for internal experimentation.

Too bad there's still Sendmail mentioned.
Postfix would be a far better choice IMHO...
