Everyone loves using services like Dropbox or Boxnet. Half of us do have hardware laying around that we’d love to convert into our own cloud server but never came across the right software.

In this tutorial i’ll show you how to create your own cloud server:

Step1. Install depencencies need for cloud server:

apt-get install apache2 php5 php5-sqlite php5-json

optional dependencies: apt-get install mp3info curl libcurl3 libcurl3-dev php5-curl zip

Step2. Download ownCloud from owncloud.org:

You can download it from here: http://gitorious.org/owncloud/owncloud/archive-tarball/master

or from repository: git clone git://gitorious.org/owncloud/owncloud.git

Step3. Extract the archive using tar and copy the content to /var/www:

Percona is glad to announce the release of Percona Server 5.1.60-13.1 on December 16, 2011 (Downloads are available from Percona Server 5.1.60-13.1 downloads and from the Percona Software Repositories).

Based on MySQL 5.1.60, including all the bug fixes in it, Percona Server 5.1.60-13.1 is now the current stable release in the 5.1 series. All of Percona ‘s software is open-source and free, all the details of the release can be found in the 5.1.60-13.1 milestone at Launchpad.

Bug Fixes

• SHOW SLAVE STATUS could give incorrect output with master-master replication and using SET user variables. This could only occur with a sever having both master-master replication and --log-slave-updates enabled. This is also filed in MySQL bug tracker, but not fixed in upstream MySQL at the time of this Percona Server release. Bug Fixed: #860910 (Alexey Kopytov)
• MyISAM repair-by-sort buffer cannot be more than 4GB even on 64bit architectures. With this bug fix, both the server option --myisam-sort-buffer-size and the |myisamchk| --sort-buffer-size can be set to values over 4GB on 64bit systems. For users with large MyISAM tables, this could be a great improvement in |myisamchk|, CREATE INDEX and ALTER TABLE performance. Bug Fixed: #878404 (Alexey Kopytov)
• The atomic operations used in Response Time Distribution on 32bit systems could (in theory) be optimized incorrectly by the compiler. This has not been observed in the wild and may only be an issue with future compilers. With this bug fixed, we have corrected the inline assembly to always produce correct compiled code even if future compilers implement new optimizations. Bug Fixed:#878022 (Laurynas Biveinis)
• GCC 4.6 has expanded diagnostics and compiler warnings. We have audited and fixed these warnings for Percona Server 5.1, finding that the warnings were benign. Bug Fixed #878164(Laurynas Biveinis)

Step1. Install ProFTPd:

apt-get install proftpd-basic

During installation you can choose to install as an inetd service,or a standalone server.  You will choose to install as Standalone  server.

Step2. Copy and rename the original configuration file for backup:

cp /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf.bak

Step3. Edit the proftpd.conf file:

nano /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf

And now change the following:

Step1. Squid3 install.

apt-get install squid3

Step2. Rename the original squid.conf for backup:

mv /etc/squid3/squid.conf /etc/squid3/squid.conf.back

Step3. Create a new custom file squid.conf:

nano /etc/squid3/squid.conf

and paste the following content:

http_port 3128 transparent
acl localhost src 127.0.0.0/8
http_access allow localhost
cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid3 7000 16 256

auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid3/squid_db_auth –user userproxy –password parolaproxi –plaintext –persist
auth_param basic children 5
auth_param basic realm This is a welcome message that will me displayed to each user.
auth_param basic credentialsttl 1 minute
auth_param basic casesensitive off

acl db-auth proxy_auth REQUIRED
http_access allow db-auth
http_access allow localhost
http_access deny all

Step4. We will go now to the MySQL and create the database:
