Lab 10
(Due start of Week 11)
Objective
Lab Component
- You will need to read Chapter 27 & 28 of the handbook. It
describes the installation and configuration of mail and web
servers.
- Your goal will be to install a web server (HTTP server). 28.8
describes installing Apache. Create a default webpage for this
server, so others from the outside can connect and show a web
version of "Hello World".
- Install a mail server, such that users of other machines can
send email to clients of your machine. Use Send-mail.
- When the lab machines obtain a DHCP they are given a DNS
entry. Thus, the machine will resolve.
- Here are some commands to help you:
- ifconfig -- similar to windows ipconfig
- hostname -- returns the host-name of the your machine.
- Important: DNS name resolution will only work within the
subnet, i.e. the lab. Laptop to lab will not work,
different subnets.
Reward Requirements
- Demonstrate to your instructor, that you can "Hello World"
into another students web server, and that they can do the same
to yours.
- Send a test message using email to another user within the
lab.
- Provide a written synopsis of what you did to install the
web-server and configure the email.
