If your imac or other osx device has no network connectivity after entering the sleep mode, you can fix it by entering the su mode and editing this file:

/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist

Locate the two lines containing PrioritizeNetworkReachabilityOverSleep

and change the value in the next line from <integer>0</integer> to <integer>1</integer>

Now your ethernet connection should remain active even while the computer is in the sleep mode.

IOS6 requires these additions to my previous instructions to work with airprint.

Create the following files

/usr/share/cups/mime/airprint.types

##contents of airprint.types##

image/urf urf string(0,UNIRAST<00>)

/usr/share/cups/mime/airprint.convs

##contents of airprint.convs###

image/urf application/pdf 100 pdftoraster

recreate /etc/avahi/services with airprint-generate.py

wget https://github.com/tjfontaine/airprint-generate/blob/master/airprint-generate.py

chmod +x airprint-generate.py

./airprint-generate.py -d /etc/avahi/services/

service restart cups

service restart avahi-daemon

Printing should now work!

You can add logrotate to your unbound nameserver. Just create a file named unbound and place it in /etc/logrotate.d.

File contents below:

/var/log/unbound.log {
rotate 12
weekly
compress
missingok
notifempty
postrotate
/etc/init.d/unbound restart
endscript
}

To install apache2-mpm-worker with php5-fpm support just apt-get install apache2-mpm-worker apache2-utils apache2.2-bin apache2.2-common libapache2-mom-fastcgi php5-fpm.

Create a php5-fpm.conf (or whatever .conf) and add it to /etc/apache2/conf.d. My file contains this (includes cgi support). After installing the above do a2enmod fastcgi and add the below php5-fpm.conf file to /etc/apache2/conf.d

##php5-fpm.conf ###

<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
AddHandler php5-fcgi .php
Action php5-fcgi /php5-fcgi
Alias /php5-fcgi /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi
FastCgiExternalServer /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi -socket /var/run/php5-fpm.sock -pass-header Authorization
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_alias.c>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/

<Directory /var/www/cgi-bin/>
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_actions.c>
Action application/x-httpd-php /cgi-bin/php5
</IfModule>

Also add this to /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf

listen = /var/run/php5-fpm.sock

You should be able to restart apache2 and start php5-fpm and have php support. The same setup also works for nginx.

You can enable wifi printing on your IOS device with a Debian box connected to your local wired network assuming your wireless ap is also connected to the same network. Here’s how

Before you start you should have a cups compatible printer connected to the Debian box.

apt-get install cups-pdf avahi-daemon python-cups cups-driver cups-driver-gutenprint  foomatic-db foomatic-db-engine foomatic-filters foomatic-filters-ppds

Test cups printing and make sure it’s functional. Add this to /etc/cupsd.conf

ServerAlias *

mkdir /opt/airprint (or wherever you want)

wget https://github.com/tjfontaine/airprint-generate/blob/master/airprint-generate.py

chmod +x airprint-generate.py

./airprint-generate-py -d /etc/avahi/services

Restart avahi ie /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon restart

ls /etc/avahi/services and you should see your printer listed.

Try printing from your IOS device (iphone, ipad, etc) connected to your wifi network. It should work!

You can boot Debian 6 without starting X by doing this:

edit /etc/X11/default-display-manager and change as indicated below:

# /usr/sbin/gdm3 (leave this in place in case you want to re-enable X)                                                                                                                                                        false

If your seeing repeated messages like this in /var/log/messages on your Debian/Ubuntu server, you need to install sysklogd.
