NaQ's Complete Setup Guide for Linux Seedboxes (Fedora Core/CentOS/Debian/Ubuntu)

Problems I solved to get this working on a Debian Linux Server from server.lu:

Use vnc4server instead.

Could not install wine at all. You will have many dependency errors and what not. This is how you can solve it.

First install:

apt-get install lmza

(This is to avoid the dpkg error)

Then follow these instructions and install this repository. I used the Lenny one.

For all those having the Error: Access Denied

I almost pulled my hair out with this one, I had my download directory in my home folder and it just wasn't working, I even chmoded and sshed and changed all the permissions.

Do NOT name your directories with separate names i.e. "My Downloads". Keep it one word to prevent this error.

Nevermind, got it fixed.

How do I change the ftp server back to FTP rather the sFTP.

Can anyone help me figure out why this is happening? Everything seems to run fine but am curious as to what these "fixme" errors mean.

sorry for the double post

hey guys not sure what i am doing wrong but i am now logged into tightvnc and all i see is a screen with a big black x and no taskbar. also nothing happens when i left/right click. any ideas?

ok i killed the vnc server and restarted it and now i have a taskbar.

I used this guide to configure seedbox. But my ISP has done various problems. Sometimes I had a slow speed with FTP, sometimes I could not even connect to the vnc, sometimes connected, but nothing can be done, the low speed. At last time speed FTP fell to 10-50 KB. I configured vpn between me and seedbox, and everything was working as expected. I think such problems not only for me. I suggest to add another guide on configuring vpn.

I've run out disk space. I keep deleting torrents and the data but it still says the disk is full. Anyone know what is going on?

great guide, helped me out when I first setup my dedi server

Thanks a lot naq.

I ordered a CentOS based server and it is due shortly. So I wanna clear a few doubts before it arrives. I am absolute noob in linux hence these question.

1. On centoswiki the xstartup had a lot more lines to it like geometry and stuff. So if I go with this tutorial will i be getting a desktop with icons n shortcuts and stuff ?

2.If a bunch of guys together taking the server so how do I assign fixed hard disk space (quotas) to each user.

3. Each user should have privacy. i.e, the others files are not to be view how can i achieve that?

4. If a person leaves how do i remove the user account and the assigned disk quota.

Hoping for some help.
