assignment.
File format: Your activity–student ID (.pdf or .docx)
For instance, if you are enrolled in activity Cmp01 and your student ID is
999999; then you should name your project file as:
Cmp XXXXXXXXXXpdf or Cmp XXXXXXXXXXdocx
You may submit your report to Turnitin many times before the submission
due date. Final Turnitin reports can be used as evidence by the teaching staff
if plagiarism is suspected in an assignment and will be dealt as per University

5 Set up Web server 10 Marks
Total 40 Marks
Tasks Requirements:
Given the new virtual machine files, students are expected to complete the following tasks
in the VMs. The report tasks should include:
- Executed commands in each task.
- Screenshot the NAMES of the files updated for each task.
- Setup and configuration details for each task.
- Testing procedures for each task.
- Troubleshooting and record keeping for each task.
Task 1: Create partitions (10 marks)
Please add a second hard disk on both VMs. Create the following partitions on these drives and
mount them accordingly. They both MUST be Master Boot Record (MBR) formatted.
Linux Windows server
Disk /dev/sdb disk 0 (NOT disk 1!)
Partition1 Primary swap, 100MB primary partition 200MB, FAT32
Partition2 Primary EXT4, 100MB primary partition 100MB NTFS
Mount partition 1 as: swap S:
Mount partition 2 as /www H:
Make sure you demonstrate that the swap partition is mounted and is visible to the operating system.
Task 2: Set up static networking (5 marks)
Set up static networking for your Linux Centos and Windows server servers given the following
parameters:
Our network Linux server Windows server
Network: XXXXXXXXXX/ XXXXXXXXXX
Ethernet: ens37 Ethernet1
DNS Domain: feit.edu feit.edu feit.edu
Hostname firstname surname
Gateway:
Replace “surname” and “firstname” in the table with your real name. For example, if your name is
“Peter Griffin”, then the hostname for Linux server is “peter” (lower case) and the hostname for
Windows Server is “griffin” (lower case). This rule applies for all the following tasks.
Linux
firstname
Windows
surname
1.2.3.0/24
XXXXXXXXXX
firstname.feit.edu feit.edu surname.feit.edu
Choose the appropriate gateway and network parameters so they can ping each other and make sure
the configuration is permanent. You MUST test your configuration.
Task 3: Set up NFS service (5 marks)
Configure your Linux server as an NFS server. Create a new directory called /public, and export
this directory to all machines on your local subnet. The directory should be both readable and
writable to NFS clients. Ensure that users can create new files in the NFS-mounted directory.
Make sure the configuration is permanent.
Task 4: Set up DNS server (10 marks)
1) Configure your Windows server (surname) as the master DNS server for the domain
feit.edu
2) Create host entries for the firstname and surname servers in this domain as mentioned in
question 1.
3) Create an entry for the main name server, ns which will reside on the surname server.
4) Create an alias for www.feit.edu which points to firstname.feit.edu.
5) Create a mail server entry such that all email addressed to @feit.edu is forwarded to
surname.feit.edu.
6) Configure both Linux and Windows servers to use surname as their main DNS resolver
and feit.edu as the default search domain.
7) Create a reverse lookup zone for our subnet.
Task 5: Set up Web server (10 marks)
1) On the Linux server, create a web server and index.html file in the default httpd web
directory. This file should ONLY contain the exact case sensitive word
HELLO
2) Create a virtual host for http:
www.feit.edu and this should reside in the /www directory.
Create this directory if necessary. Create an index.html file in this directory which
should ONLY contain the exact case sensitive word
UTS
NOTES:
(a) Do not use Default.htm or index.htm as the home page;
(b) you should ensure that the alias for www in previous tasks is working BEFORE you
attempt part (2)
(c) The index.html files do not have to be HTML-valid – only have the exact word as required
(d) You should test both http:
firstname.feit.edu and http:
www.feit.edu from each server
(Linux Server and Windows Server) and they should display different web pages!
