The Quake II linux dedicated server HOWTO

this document explains how to install and configure a Quake II (q2) dedicated server on a linux box. it is assumed that you :

• have root shell access to a linux box (remote or local)
• know some linux basics (installing software, ssh, ...)
• know some quake basics (config, mods, basic console commands, ...)
• want to install a quake server ;-)
• you have 'screen' installed on your server (simply install it if you don't have it)
• I'm using a debian server in this example but you should be able to adapt this to your favourite distribution easily
• we'll be installing a r1q2 server for security reasons here (Though this includes all steps necessary to install a normal q2 server and also leaves you with a ready-2-run normal q2 server, using the non-r1q2 server for an internet server is highly discouraged due to many security issues with the original q2 binary!)

Please read my notes on security before making your server public.

Zend Framework: Surviving The Deep End

For every paid software, always you can find an opensource alternative, sometimes the alternative is better and complete like (Gimp vs Photoshop) sometimes not. Today we will see a good alternative to Cpanel, the well known paid hosting / server panel, it is zpanel.

ZPanel is a free to download and use Web hosting control panel written to work effortlessly with Microsoft Windows and POSIX (Linux, UNIX and MacOSX) based servers or computers. This solution can turn a home or professional server into a fully fledged, easy to use and manage web hosting server.

Zpanel is easy to install and to configure. In this tutorial i installed Zpanel in CentOS 6.3.
