Squid is a caching and forwarding web proxy. It is most often used in conjunction with a traditional LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP), and can be used to filter traffic on HTTP, FTP, and HTTPS, and increase the speed (thus lower the response time) for a web server via caching.

Updating glibc on Fedora Linux is a very simple process. Most commonly you will use the following command in the case of a security vulnerability, or perhaps just to verify that you’re running the most up-to-date library:

Pre-Flight Check

• These instructions are intended specifically for checking the installed version of glibc.
• I’ll be working from a Liquid Web Self Managed Fedora 20 and Fedora 21 server, and I’ll be logged in as root.

One of the best tools for quickly finding files by filename is the locate command. The locate command reads one or more databases prepared by updatedb and writes file names matching at least one of the patterns to standard output, one per line.

• These instructions are intended specifically for updating Bash on Fedora 20 and Fedora 21.
• I’ll be working from both a Liquid Web Self Managed Fedora 20 server and a Liquid Web Self Managed Fedora 21 server, and I’ll be logged in as root.

The Apache web server is one of the most popular and powerful web servers in the world due to its ease of administration and flexibility. This flexibility comes Apache’s modular design, and allows for such features as: URL rewriting for SSL encryption natively, and Outlook Anywhere passthrough support in reverse proxy setups. Modularity allows Administrators to modify Apache to meet their needs; adding modules that are needed and removing ones that are not.

• These instructions are intended specifically for stopping and disabling firewalld Fedora 20.
• I’ll be working from a Liquid Web Self Managed Fedora 20 server, and I’ll be logged in as root.

• These instructions are intended specifically for enabling and starting Firewalld Fedora 20.
• I’ll be working from a Liquid Web Self Managed Fedora 20 server, and I’ll be logged in as root.

Varnish is a proxy and cache, or HTTP accelerator, designed to improve performance for busy, dynamic websites. By redirecting traffic to static pages whenever possible, varnish reduces the number of dynamic page calls, thus reducing the load.

• These instructions are intended specifically for installing the MongoDB PHP Driver (Extension) on Fedora 20.
• I’ll be working from a Liquid Web Self Managed Fedora 20 server with HTTPD and PHP already installed, configured, and running, and I’ll be logged in as root.
