Catatan Kecilku

After having several hacking accident with SemoWeb, I try to register as a Reseller with HudsonValleyHost at October 22, 2011. My reason to join is because when I use their VPS service last year, they have been doing great. Fast support, and also fast server.

So, October 22, 1011, I purchase a Basic Reseller Package from HudsonValleyHost for $ 2.98.

After the HudsonValleyHost Reseller Account received, I try to make a request by Ticket (ID: 835523) asking for a transfer from SemoWeb reseller account.

This Ticket is answered by James R., and he is asking for my WHM Account and Password to be transferred. I gave him my 2 SemoWeb Reseller Accounts.

Hello,

To transfer the domain from another provider to HSV we need the reseller WHM login details to do this. Otherwise place the backup under your home directory to restore it for you and i am escalating this ticket to our management staff to assist you further regarding fee details.

Thanks for your patience.

Because they can not help me transferring from SemoWeb / having problem transferring, I am asking for a refund since the Reseller Account is unusable. And then they send me an update

So, Monday, October 24, 2011 12:24 AM, I click the Cancellation Button in the WHMCS, and also put a message on it to ask for a refund.

But after that, my Reseller Account were terminated, no refund, and also I can not login in to their Client Area because my email address is removed and blocked from their system.

Last year, when I am using their VPS service, I made a cancellation because my business is busier, so I don’t have much time to manage it. But they also removed my email address from their system so I can not login to the Client Area.

One thing that make me upset is, 30 minutes after they said they can not transferring me to their server, I purchase a Reseller Account from CrocWeb, and CrocWeb can transfer my domain from 2 SemoWeb Reseller Accounts less than an hour without any problems

Altough CrocWeb said that the transfer progress could take up to 24 hours, they could completed the transfer less than an hour. And that makes me so happy.

This time, I’m gonna write a tutorial for installing NginX in Debian VPS.

Because my default Debian VPS is not having NginX in the repo, then we will make the repository list :

# nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Add the following lines to the last line :

deb http://nginx.org/packages/debian/ squeeze nginx
deb-src http://nginx.org/packages/debian/ squeeze nginx

Save the file by pressing Ctrl + O
Quit from the nano by pressing Ctrl + X

Install the NginX :

# apt-get install nginx

Our Debian VPS will automatically installing the version 0.6. You have NginX installed in your Debian VPS

If you want to do a manual installation for the NginX, you can try to compile it.

Bellow is the tutorial for compiling NginX for working with IPv6 :

# apt-get install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev libpcrecpp0 libssl-dev zlib1g-dev
# wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.0.8.tar.gz
# tar -xvzf nginx-1.0.8.tar.gz
# cd nginx-1.0.8
# ./configure –with-ipv6
# make
# make install

This time, I’m gonna write a tutorial for installing squid proxy in a Debian VPS ( BuyVM )

• Lets install squid in the Debian VPS :

  # apt-get install squid

• Shutdown squid if it’s running :

  # squid -k shutdown

• Configure the squid.conf located at /etc/squid/squid.conf:

  # nano /etc/squid/squid.conf

  Add the following code at the top of squid.conf :

  auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/pam_auth
  auth_param basic children 5
  auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server
  auth_param basic credentialsttl 4 hours
  acl password proxy_auth REQUIRED
  http_access allow password
  forwarded_for off
  auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/squid/users_passwd
  acl ncsa_users proxy_auth REQUIRED
  http_access allow ncsa_users

  Change the http_port from 3128 to another port to secure your squid from unauthorized use, for example :

  http_port 12873

  Save the modified squid.conf  by pressing Ctrl + O, and press Enter
  Quit from the nano editor by pressing Ctrl + X

• Create file users_password for squid security purpose :

  # nano  /etc/squid/users_passwd

  Type a character and delete it. And then save the file by pressing Ctrl + O
  Quit from the nano editor by pressing Ctrl + X

•  Now, we will use the function htpasswdfrom the apache to securing the squid access  :

  # htpasswd /etc/squid/users_passwd user-for-accessing-squid

  for example :

  # htpasswd /etc/squid/users_passwd userssatu

  Type the password for it.

• Running the squid :

  # service squid start

• Now you have a squid program running in your Debian VPS.

If you want to use it, you can use the example configuration at your browser proxy setting :
IP Address : 123.123.123.123  Port : 12873

The IP Address is your VPS IP Address, and the Port is using your squid http_port configuration
