Apache2 on Ubuntu

Enabling User Directory

This is how to set up Apache2 on Ubuntu so that, when hxxp://server/~username is accessed, the browser returns the content in /home/username/public_html.

First, user directory is now a mod in Ubuntu's apache2. If you have not installed the mod, then execute the following command:

sudo a2enmod userdir

Second, edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and add the following lines:

<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
    UserDir public_html
</IfModule>

<Directory /home/*/public_html>
    AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    Options Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
</Directory>

Third, execute the following command:

cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/userdir.conf userdir.conf
sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/userdir.load userdir.load

Forth, restart your apache2:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Resetting MySQL Root Password

This HOWTO is copied from here. First, stop your database.

/etc/init.d/mysql stop

Then, start up the database in the background.

/usr/bin/mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &

You can now log in to MySQL without a password.

mysql --user=root mysql

And you can set a new password with the following two commands:

mysql> update user set Password=PASSWORD('new-password-here') WHERE User='root';
mysql> flush privileges;

Once you're done with that, leave MySQL, and bring the server back up to the foreground.

fg

Kill the server with Ctrl-C. And restart the server again.

/etc/init.d/mysql start
