One common task when setting up a new HTTP server is to configure iptables to allow traffic to your HTTP server. The commands below will allow traffic on ports 80 and 443. You may need to adjust the 5 and 6 values to your environment - these are appropriate for a clean CentOS 6.0 installation.

sudo iptables -L -v
sudo iptables -I INPUT 5 -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -I INPUT 6 -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT
sudo /sbin/service iptables save
sudo iptables -L -v

Every time I setup a new Eclipse instance, I have gone through the process of visiting the various web sites of the plugins I use to find the update URLs to install them.  Generally this is an infrequent pain, but today, while troubleshooting some Eclipse/Java7 issues, I've had to hunt these links down a several times, so thought I'd list them here...

• http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.8.x
• http://www.zeroturnaround.com/update-site
• http://oxygenxml.com/InstData/Editor/Eclipse/site.xml
• https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/

It took a bit of time to get LDAP and SSL working correctly...

cd httpd-2.2.20
make distclean

./configure --prefix=/_apps/httpd/install --with-ldap --enable-mods-shared="all ssl ldap cache proxy authn_alias mem_cache file_cache authnz_ldap charset_lite dav_lock disk_cache"

# Build APR and APR-util seperatly due to LDAP issues
cd srclib
cd apr
./configure --prefix=/_apps/httpd/install --enable-threads --enable-other-child
make
cd ..
cd apr-util
./configure --prefix=/_apps/httpd/install --with-apr=../apr --with-ldap=ldap
make
cd ..
cd ..

make

CentOS 6 has finally arrived. One of the easiest ways to get started is to do the netinstall...

Boot ISO:

http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos-6/6/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.0-x86_64-netinstall.iso
