This is a brief guide to installing and configuring Munin.

This is how the Munin project describes their software on their site:

Munin is a networked resource monitoring tool that can help analyze resource trends and “what just happened to kill our performance?” problems. It is designed to be very plug and play. A default installation provides a lot of graphs with almost no work.

Apache2: prevent access to a specific directory

Posted on 2010-05-14 by apeekaboo

Edit the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/default (or any apache config file defining a directory):

Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
<directory "/usr/share/doc/">
   Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride None
   Order deny,allow
   Deny from all
   Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
</directory>

The line Allow from … could also read something like:

   # allow only from local network
   Allow from 192.168

This is useful for things like phpmyadmin and other resources you don’t want to expose to the Internet. Don’t forget to restart apache after making changes to the apache conf:

# service apache restart
