Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf with the following

smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
smtp_tls_security_level = secure
smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols = TLSv1
smtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers = high
smtp_tls_secure_cert_match = nexthop
smtp_tls_CApath = /etc/ssl/certs
relayhost = smtp.gmail.com:587

echo “smtp.gmail.com:587 smtp_user:smtp_passwd” > /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
postmap hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
service postfix restart
echo “Test mail from postfix” | mail -s “Test Postfix” you@example.com

If you find your backuppc log filling up with entries like the ones below, you can fix these warnings with one command thanks to a entry I found at http://www.nooblet.org/blog/2012/backuppc-use-of-qw-as-parentheses-is-deprecated/

From the following posts I was able to get a computer to first install and then boot after installed due to the APCI errors it was getting.
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1565089
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/348694

hit F6 when the cd reaches the purple screen with the human and the keyboard. This should bring up the usual boot menu with all the options for what to do with the live CD. Here press F6 again, and boot options will come up. The “acpi=off” option should allow you to boot. Now you can install if you want to. You will need to also fix the install as changing the installer does not also set the same requirements on the installed os.

Hold “Shift” while booting and you will be able to edit the boot options. Selecting the version you want to boot, and pressing e on it. In these boot options, add “acpi=off” to the end of the line that starts with “linux”. The should enable you to boot into your installation.

Lastly, you need to make this change permanent. Once booted, navigate to /etc/default/ and edit the “grub” file.
Look for the line that says “GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”””
Change it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”nolapic”

Now you should be able to boot this box every time.

Create the server key (in this example RSA 1024 bit):
openssl genrsa -out host.key 4096
Make a certificate out of it (it won’t be signed yet):
openssl req -new -key host.key -out host.csr
Create your CA certificate (will be valid for a year):
openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key host.key -out host.crt
Copy info from host.csr and plug it into startssl.com website. It will create text you will put in a .csr file

Create the .csr file in the /etc/apache2/ssl area, in this case I called it my host name webvm1.csr.

cp host.key webvm1.key

Enable the SSL module

sudo a2enmod ssl
Listen to port 443

echo “Listen 443” | sudo tee -a /etc/apache2/ports.conf
Create and enable the SSL site

sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/default /etc/apache2/sites-available/ssl
Modify it so it looks something like this

NameVirtualHost *:443

ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/webvm1.newy.org.startssl.csr
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/webvm1.key
SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl/sub.class1.server.ca.pem
SSLCACertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/ca.pem

…and enable it

sudo a2ensite ssl

don’t forget to modify /etc/apache2/sites-available/default

NameVirtualHost *:80
