My digital playground

nWeb

This is the new home for the quite popular nWeb script (formerly Ubinscripts). In the occasion of the new site I have rewritten more or less the whole script, making it more up to date and usable. It now also supports Debian Lenny.

What is it?

What it does is installing the lightweight Nginx web server with PHP support and MySQL. It’s intended for administrators who is repeating the task of setting up servers. This scripts allow you to install and configure a basic web server with almost no interaction (it only asks for a MySQL server root password at the very end).

Note: This script is not intended to be a replacement of learning how to do this yourself, but more as an time saver.

Requirements

The new version is officially tested, working and supported on fresh installs of the following platforms

  • Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope)
  • Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex)
  • Debian 5.0 (Lenny)

but should also work with most newer Debian / Ubuntu derivatives.

Installation

wget http://thehook.eu/downloads/nweb150.tgz
tar xzvf nweb150.tgz
cd nweb
sudo sh nweb.sh

Notes

This script is not suited for use on small embedded systems.
