Ok, here is another one that was specifically geared to my setup, but I thought it may help someone else out in a pinch. I lost the motherboard for my web/email server due to that “capacitor problem”. What follows is how I got everything back up and functional. The server consisted of Apache and qmail, plus various other odds and ends. Another item to note is that this is a FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE system, linux admins change settings accordingly.
First, I get the basics on there so I have network connectivity and the tools I use to make everything go smoothly, not to mention there are some security issues involved.
1. install cvsup-without-gui
2. create /usr/src/sup-ports
*default host=cvsup8.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
# date=2003.03.25.23.00.00
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
ports-all
3. cvsup ports
4. install portsupgrade
5. install apache2
6. install mod_php4 (sockets and bcmath)
7. install bind9
8. configure DHCPd
isc-dhcp3 port
Did I forget to mention that this server was also my DHCPd server for the LAN?
9. install irssi
10. install lynx
11. install ntp
12. install openssl (overwrite_base)
13. install opensshportable (point rc.conf to new binary)
14. install screen
15. install mget
16. install zsh (it’s just my preference, thanks stibnite)
Now, we’ll get into the qmail (and vpopmail) install so I can start spooling email locally instead of letting my secondary take care of all the work. As I mentioned before, I use qmail… again, thanks stib. Some of the following items were taken verbatim from Flattie’s qmail toaster howto. I could provide a link, but thats why you have google bookmarked.
1. create users and groups for qmail and vpopmail (this may not be required when using the freebsd port but I did it before hand anyway)
mkdir /var/qmail
pw groupadd -n vchkpw -g 98
pw useradd -n vpopmail -u 98 -g 98 -c Vpopmail-Master -d /home/vpopmail -s /nonexistent (all on one line)
pw groupadd -n nofiles -g 91
pw groupadd -n qmail -g 92
pw useradd -n alias -u 91 -g 91 -d /var/qmail/alias -s /nonexistent
pw useradd -n qmaild -u 92 -g 91 -d /var/qmail -s /nonexistent
pw useradd -n qmaill -u 93 -g 91 -d /var/qmail -s /nonexistent
pw useradd -n qmailp -u 94 -g 91 -d /var/qmail -s /nonexistent
pw useradd -n qmailq -u 95 -g 92 -d /var/qmail -s /nonexistent
pw useradd -n qmailr -u 96 -g 92 -d /var/qmail -s /nonexistent
pw useradd -n qmails -u 97 -g 92 -d /var/qmail -s /nonexistent
2. make directories
mkdir /var/log/qmail
mkdir /var/log/qmail/qmail-send
mkdir /var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd
mkdir /var/log/qmail/qmail-pop3d
chown -R qmaill.wheel /var/log/qmail
chmod -R 750 /var/log/qmail
3. cd /usr/ports/mail/qmail
make fetch
make patch
download eric johnstons smtpd-auth patch
patch according to the included INSTALL document
vi ./work/qmail*/conf-split change 23 > 199
vi ./work/qmail*/conf-spawn change 120 > 255
make install clean
echo 255 > /var/qmail/control/concurrencyremote
chmod 644 /var/qmail/control/concurrencyremote
4. cd /usr/ports/sysutils/daemontools
make install clean
5. cd /usr/ports/sysutils/ucspi-tcp
make install clean
6. vi /etc/tcp.smtp
127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT=”"
10.1.1.1-252:allow,RELAYCLIENT=”"
:allow
/usr/local/bin/tcprules /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /etc/tcp.smtp.tmp &1 > /dev/null
11. cd /usr/ports/mail/autorespond
make install clean
12. install gdbm /usr/ports/databases/gdbm
make install clean
13. check for files in /var/qmail/control
(restore rcpthosts, virtualdomains, /home/vpopmail/domains and users dir)
(remember to re-chmod if necessary)
If you are actually using this document to help you do a restore and didn’t do a backup, yer fooked.
14. edit rc.conf
sendmail_enable=”NONE”
15. edit /etc/mail/mailer.conf
sendmail /var/qmail/bin/sendmail
send-mail /var/qmail/bin/sendmail
Create the file structure for daemontools to run its qmail scripts:
mkdir /service
chmod 755 /service
mkdir /var/qmail/supervise
chmod 755 /var/qmail/supervise
mkdir /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd
mkdir /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/log
chmod +t /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd
mkdir /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send
mkdir /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/log
chmod +t /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send
mkdir /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d
mkdir /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/log
chmod +t /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d
ln -s /var/qmail/supervise/* /service/
ls -la /service/
OUTPUT:
lrwx—— 1 root wheel 32 Jan 01 00:00 qmail-pop3d@ -> /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d
lrwx—— 1 root wheel 31 Sep 01 00:00 qmail-send@ -> /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send
lrwx—— 1 root wheel 32 Sep 01 00:00 qmail-smtpd@ -> /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd

That should do it.
I’m sure I missed a few steps or software installs in there somewhere. If I did, don’t come crying to me, that’s what your mamma is for. After you’re done crying, feel free to drop me a line and tell me what I missed, thanks.
