We rolled with a man short today, but still got deep into stage two.

Austin worked on getting DHCP set up on the untangle server, as well as ensuring all necessary ports were forwarded, and that DNS was correctly configured.

Ron continued to work with the client computers, with his main focuses being ensuring that DHCP was working ok, and getting GPG working for encryption.  He conferred with the other groups and decided to use GPG version 2 instead of version 1, and worked to set it up before the day was over.

Kris worked on his email server, and then set up the backup trixbox server.

Adam ensured that all of the configurations were set correctly for the primary trixbox server, then proceeded to write out documentation for it (to follow).  He also helped Kris with setting up the trixbox server.

11/18/2011

Figured out today, with help from Kelly, that checking the mail server box made it so that Zimbra would be impossible to set up.  The class is very close to finishing stage one of the project.

The Zimbra server heads ended up wiping their drives once again in order to install Zimbra correctly, and it finally worked.  Kris spent much of the day setting this up, prepping the system for the Zimbra install, and finally installing the Zimbra server successfully.  Adam watched over his shoulder in order to see the setup as well as double checking his work as he went against the documentation.

Ron continued to work with the Thunderbird program on the Debian box, and is very close to getting it to work.  He completed setting up Filezilla as a client on the client computers as well.  He also worked on trying to figure out who the back-up leads are for the specific servers, as well as checking to see what steps we needed to complete stage 1.

Austin added fully qualified domain names to the untangle server.

Don set up Filezilla on the LAMP server, and verified SSH.  However, SSH isn't quite finished.  It's set up, but the complete documentation didn't completely work on his box, so he's going back through to see where it went wrong.

Overall, a pretty productive day as we move within reach of finishing Stage one.

11/16/11

Today was a lecture / workday.  We reorganized our efforts, with the idea from Kelly that Trixbox may not need as much management at this stage as the Trix-team originally predicted.  Also, most of the desktops had been configured, so Ron and Adam helped out where more help was currently needed today, and Ron worked on setting up software for Linux boxes as well.

Don and Adam worked mostly on the LAMP server for the majority of the day.  The LAMP server did not start up automatically, being the first big issue we needed to resolve.  They eventually resolved this in the web GUI by going to webmin / configuration, and selecting the 'yes' button on the "Start on boot" command.  Upon restarting several times, they found that this correctly changed it to boot automatically on startup.  The next thing they dealt with was getting phpmyadmin to work.  While it worked before, they were having trouble with getting it to run again.  Don updated the packages for the web GUI, and that seems to have fixed the problem.


Untangle team continued to work on port forwarding and setting firewall rules throughout the day as needed.

The Zimbra team was working on reworking their Debian servers before the got Zimbra installed.  Kris began to install dependencies needed to install the Zimbra server.

Ron worked on installing both Libre Office and Thunderbird.  He used the Libre Office readme file in order to setup it up successfully.  Thunderbird has also been setup, but not configured, pending the Zimbra servers.  He is currently working on getting a shortcut placed onto the desktop for easier access.
