installing to the warden; adding inmates

[redshirt]

Anyone found a good guide to this?

Can I create an amp jail w/ myphpadmin (?) from a jail with ports?

I will try it regardless but will appreciate any preemptive suggestions.

PS: I am noticing that there is not a clear cut place to request information regarding The Warden, or ask questions regarding software in general.

Never tried but google told me there are many guides on getting apache, php, and mysql into a jail. Phpmyadmin should haven't a problem cohabitate in such a jail.

It's definitely frustrating. There is not even a single howto explanation of how to get into the jail to do installs from within the jail. There is mention of ssh, but it has to be first enabled in the jail. (One howto says, "If you enabled ssh in the jail..." ; um what about how to do that!?) Apparently this is one of the jail commands to start a process in the jail from outside the jail ... to the man page!

(I much rather muck around in the jail where I am less likely to mess up my system.)

Is The Warden implementation of jails non-standard (other than directory)?

jexec and jail programs do not know what Warden did. Neither can find the testjail I created with Warden, even using the explicit directory path.

Well, have you ever created a jail?

If you haven't, then it would benefit you to read this, and this.

Article on ezjail.


A nifty howto on upgrading jails...just really the barebones.

Must be missing something. The O'reilly article is the one that says, if you set up sshd... and the other I looked at in length and it is written for someone starting with the routine jail commands.

I'm wondering whether or not The Warden generates standard jails. The jail commands do not seem to work as they are unaware of the warden jail. That is, I cannot enter the jail and check things out.

I will abandon The Warden for now and check out ezjail.

Sounds like a good strategy.

I will chime in and say that it seems to me the warden does make jail, but in a nonstandard way.

I urge you to join the warden's list serve if you want more support on it.

I too have had problems configuring MySQL in the AMP jail with "separate" ports installation of PhpMySQLAdmin.

I would recommend that we advise the pbi Team to include phpmysqladmin in the AMP Inmate configuration, that will better guarantee tool success.

If by circumstance you are seeking to install a Web Content management System (CMS) software like MODx or Silverstripe, then these Web site applications have internal scripts that will modify the MySQL setting/setup for you.

Otherwise, for Drupal, Concrete5 and others, you need the phpMySQLAdmin installed and working correctly as part of the AMP Inmate.

Good luck.
