Computer s ppl. 3-5 pages

In first and second week, configured network cables and setup all necessary computers, then formatted both hard drives and clean up. Installed server 2012 on one PC and installed Kali Linux on the other one. Setup static IP address along default gateway and setup a name server for both systems to use. Installed all updates for both systems to make sure there were no security vulnerabilities.

In last week, Configured firewall and made sure the network was working as required. Installed a DNS server on the windows server 12, acting as the master server.

Setup DNS server on kali Linux using bind9. Configured it as a slave DNS server which collects configuration from the master sever I. E windows 2012, used NSlookup and dig to make sure that the name(windows.deva.com) and (kali.deva.com) was resolved to the correct server. Both servers responded as required.

This week, did allow Windows Firewall to get communicate through by click Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall in control panel and type the password or provide confirmation. Installed Zen-Cart on the Windows Server 12 box, unzipped and moved the files to www directory in wampserver but, Zen-Cart link in localhost is not responding. Did some configurations in the files but ZenCart page is not responding in wamp, next will be to get Zen-cart work.

Installed WampServer stack on the Windows Server 12, at the first everything acted just fine, so sudden on the W icon turn red then orang. MySql option was unable to click on, tried to restart the system and nothing changed, tried to change the listen number but still the problem did not fix, on the other hand the php myadmin page is working!. Finally the last option uninstalled the WampServer stack made sure all the files were deleted then, installed it again and now working just fine.

In the previous week, started the installation of ZenCart on the Windows Server. First Unzipped into required folder C:/wamp/www/ZenCart. After that set permissions on all folders in the directory via the Security Properties (Right Click - Properties - Security) – allowed users all access. Only one database is being used i.e on the Linux Host Machine. Finally Zen Cart will be connected to the remote database. Renamed required files to configure.php, a zenUser account was created on the mysql database through phpMyAdmin for remote access as remote root login is disabled for security purposes. The user created was given the required privileges to access all databases including zen_cart as well.

In this week, Unfortunately the Windows ZenCart installation was unable to remotely connect to the zen_cart database until configurations were changed on the kali host machine. After the all above procedures were completed, finally the installation process proceeded as required without any setbacks. However an admin user was created for ZenCart Admin. Furthermore, the zc_install folder was removed and appropriate permissions set on configure.php.
