= UoL LAMP Server == Overview The University of Leicester provides LAMP servers with a standard set of services, but some restrictions on what a user can do. The servers sit behind a [[Pound]] proxy. For more information about LAMP servers see the [[https://wiki.lamp.le.ac.uk/lampdoc/index.php/Main_Page|UoL LAMP Wiki]]. For advanced management, contact the [[http://www2.le.ac.uk/offices/itservices/about/people/teams/service-delivery/customer-service-operations/it-service-desk|University Helpdesk]]. == Layout All the files that a user requires to change are in the /local directory. This directory contains the perl, python, apache and tomcat config settings and log files. It is also where you must install new libraries for [Python] and [PHP]. This is documented in the [[https://wiki.lamp.le.ac.uk/lampdoc/index.php/Main_Page|UoL LAMP Wiki]]. == Backup and Restore The LAMP servers are backed up hourly automatically as part of the LAMP service, although no separate database back up is taken. To restore from a back up, contact the [[http://www2.le.ac.uk/offices/itservices/about/people/teams/service-delivery/customer-service-operations/it-service-desk|University Helpdesk]]. == How To === Restart - To restart a service see See [[https://wiki.lamp.le.ac.uk/lampdoc/index.php/Main_Page|UoL LAMP Wiki]]. - To restart Apache see [[https://wiki.lamp.le.ac.uk/lampdoc/index.php/Apache2|UoL LAMP Wiki Apache documentation]] - We cannot restart the server and must contact the [[http://www2.le.ac.uk/offices/itservices/about/people/teams/service-delivery/customer-service-operations/it-service-desk|University Helpdesk]]. === Getting Help - [[https://wiki.lamp.le.ac.uk/lampdoc/index.php/Main_Page|UoL LAMP Wiki]] - [[http://www2.le.ac.uk/offices/itservices/about/people/teams/service-delivery/customer-service-operations/it-service-desk|University Helpdesk]] - [[https://www2.le.ac.uk/offices/itservices/about/people/teams/service-delivery/infrastructure-services|University Infrastructure Services]] === Create a New LAMP Server - Contact the [[http://www2.le.ac.uk/offices/itservices/about/people/teams/service-delivery/customer-service-operations/it-service-desk|University Helpdesk]]. - There is no cost implication. === Add a New DNS Entry for a LAMP Server catissue-dev.lcbru.le.ac.uk - Contact the [[http://www2.le.ac.uk/offices/itservices/about/people/teams/service-delivery/customer-service-operations/it-service-desk|University Helpdesk]]. === Enable / Disable Access from the Internet [[AskNick]] === Get and Install a certificate 1.
