I assume you have install Vmware ESXi 4 on your baremetal server, if not youc an folow the installation step on this link

http://builddocs.com/server_os_builds/installing-vmware-esxi-version-4/

after you install the Vmware ESXi 4,  now i want to enable ssh and ftp so i can conenct to to consule and upload file into it.

By default adding ssh isn’t possible. But there’s a way to get this working, just do the following:

1. Go to the ESXi console and press alt+F1
2. Type: unsupported
3. Enter the root password(No prompt, typing is blindly)
4. At the prompt type “vi /etc/inetd.conf”
5. Look for the line that starts with “#ssh” (you can search with pressing “/”)
6. Remove the “#” (press the “x” if the cursor is on the character)
7. Save “/etc/inetd.conf” by typing “:wq!”
8. Restart the management service “/sbin/services.sh restart”

Now , how to enable ftp to the Vmware server, here is the step:

1) Download and extract this zip file.

– since vmware esx didn’t have unzip program i just unzip the files on another server and save it on the www directory let say we save it on http://localhost/proftpd/
2) Copy proftpd to /sbin or /usr/sbin/

– #cd /sbin

# wget http://localhost/proftpd/proftpd
3) Copy tcpd to /sbin or /usr/sbin/

-#cd /sbin

# wget http://localhost/proftpd/tcpd
4) Copy proftpd.conf to /etc. You may wish to edit the file to suit your environment.

-#cd /etc

#wget http://localhost/proftpd/proftpd.conf
5) Add the below lines to /etc/inetd.conf.

# vi /etc/inet.d.conf

# activate proftp daemon

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/proftpd proftpd

5) Determine the process id for inetd with the command ps | grep inetd

# ps | grep inetd
4895 4895 busybox              inetd
6) Restart inetd with this command kill -HUP <process id>

# kill -HUP 4895

Note that this change will not survive a reboot with ESXi. To have this available after a reboot you’ll need to add these changes to /etc/rc.local

#vi /etc/rc.local

add this

#! /bin/ash
cd /usr/sbin/ && wget http://localhost/proftpd/proftpd
cd /usr/sbin/ && wget http://localhost/proftpd/tcpd
chmod 755 /usr/sbin/proftpd
chmod 755 /usr/sbin/tcpd
cd /etc/ && wget http://localhost/proftpd/proftpd.conf

now you can reboot it and test the ftp

#reboot

PHP and perl are two very popular Web programming languages. They both have many libraries and extensions that can simplify the process of development, but often you can find a perl library you want, and not the corresponding library in PHP. (Perl is older then PHP, so naturally it has a larger selection of libraries and extensions.) This was the main reason that the perl extension for PHP was written.

Installation

download the php perl  extention

# cd /root

# wget http://pecl.php.net/get/perl-1.0.0.tgz

# tar -xvf perl-1.0.0.tgz

# cd perl-1.0.0

you can read the README for detail installation on /root/perl-1.0.0

======================================================================================
Requirements
============
PHP 5.0.0RC2 or later
Perl 5.8.0 or later

Quick install
=============

Step 1. Compile this extension. PHP_PREFIX and PERL_PREFIX mast point to
real
PHP and Perl instalation prefixes.

export PHP_PREFIX="/usr"
export PERL_PREFIX="/usr"
$PHP_PREFIX/bin/phpize
./configure --with-perl=$PERL_PREFIX
--with-php-config=$PHP_PREFIX/bin/php-config
make

Step 2. Install the extension (this step can require root privileges)

make install

Step 3. Add perl extension into your php.ini (this step can require root
privileges)

extension=perl.so
======================================================================================

I assume you have installed the php and perl, youc an use yast / zypper to do that
# php -v

PHP 5.3.1 (cli)
#rpm -qa | grep perl

perl-5.10.0-72.5.i586
you can search php  prefix path by using whereis
# whereis php

php: /usr//local/bin/php /usr/share/man/man1/php.1.gz
# export PHP_PREFIX=”/usr/local”

# export PERL_PREFIX=”/usr”

# $PHP_PREFIX/bin/phpize

# ./configure –with-perl=$PERL_PREFIX

–with-php-config=$PHP_PREFIX/bin/php-config

# make
you will find this error :
/root/perl-1.0.0/php_perl.c:172: warning: initialization from

/root/perl-1.0.0/php_perl.c:173: warning: initialization from

make: *** [php_perl.lo] Error 1
Solution :
– it turns out the php_perl wasn’t compatible with the php 5.3
–  you need to go to http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pecl/perl/trunk/ -> click php_perl.c -> then click download (http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pecl/perl/trunk/php_perl.c?revision=289243&view=co)
– just wget http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pecl/perl/trunk/php_perl.c?revision=289243&view=co
– you will get php_perl.c\?revision\=289243 just rename it to php_perl.c then paste it to /root/perl-1.0.0/ then
#cd /root/perl-1.0.0

#/usr/local/bin/phpize

#./configure –with-perl=/usr/bin/perl –with-php-config=/usr/local/bin/php-config

#make

#make install
– Edit php.ini

#vim /usr/local/lib/php.ini

– add this line
extension=perl.so
– Restart the apache

#/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl stop

#/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start
– Check your phpinfo
