Before I start I am asuming you have already downloaded your copy of teamspeak 3 and unpacked it. For reference I will assume the path to where you unpacked TS3 is: /home/ts3/teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64 Now to make an autostart script you can actually just reuse the one that comes with TS3: ts3server_startscript.sh The only thing I did [...]

My project thus looks like this: domain.com application library logs public index.php scripts cronjob.php tests The trick with cronjobs is that you [...]

Something small I just figured out which might be useful for others again. The various tutorials I found online missed something crucial in the explanation, so it took me a while to figure it out. Server Side Go to System->Preferences->Remote Desktop Copy the following settings: Client Side: # Install SSH server on your client sudo [...]

This took me a little while to figure out, but it was actually really easy.

Let me start off by explaining why I wrote this tutorial. I have been hosting with SliceHost for quite some time now, and decided to mess around with Wordpress a bit instead of building something from scratch. After downloading and installing Wordpress I noticed it wanted FTP login details to install plugins etc from the Admin interface. That was a problem as I only have SSH / SFTP acces. (I never setup an FTP server because it would just take up more memory, I have a 256MB slice/vps.) Anyways, I was in a bit of a pickle, I didn’t want to have to upload each plugin by hand and then manually install through the admin section. Then I found some tutorials on how to set up SSH support in Wordpress, but they were a bit unclear. Hence my reason for writing this.
