I have a LAMP box running Ubuntu, Apache 2 and PHP5 with Slicehost. I'm a bit new to all this sysadmin stuff (I'm primarily a web developer).
I need to use the IMAP functions in PHP, but they don't seem to be enabled according to phpinfo(). How do I enable them?
All of the information I can find on the net says I need to recompile PHP to add it, but I don't have a clue how to do that.
Any advice would be most appreciated. Thanks.
I'm a newbie server administrator having recently purchased an account from Slicehost.com and using it to host a few personal sites, so I can learn more (I'm primarily a web developer).
Years ago I remember playing with batch scripts on Windows that would allow me to automate certain basic things. Does anything like this exist for Unix?
I would like to automate setting up of new domains in Apache2, so basically creating directories, setting permissions, creating the configuration file in sites-available then running the a2ensite command and finally restarting Apache.
Is this achievable from a basic script I can run from the command line? Any basic pointers and guidance you can give would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
