Web Architecture

I have made it this far and I am feeling much more confident using Linux.  I feel that I can operate a Linux system pretty basically now.  I would still need to follow step by step instructions when installing anything on a Linux system, but I do know what to look for to know that I am in fact installing and how to check for installation. This week we worked with iptables and learning how to view and edit iptables in a Linux operating system. In this first screenshot we had to take what we learned from the lab and use it to delete line 5 using the command #iptables -D INPUT 5  which tells the system to delete line 5 and all of its contents, which you can see and confirm from the screenshot above. Earlier in the lab we changed settings that allowed telnet connections.  In this screenshot we are attempting to connect to plabfed01 via telnet from plabfed02, which is successful.  You need to know the ip address in order to attempt to connect via telnet. ...

Well, things seem to be getting easier and I am feeling more confident in completing the quiz and lab each week.  This week seemed to be particularly easy for me to catch on to.  I think it is because we are looking at it more from a programming perspective this week and writing in code.  This is what I am more familiar with.  Databases are completely new to me though, I even dropped my database with MySQL last session because it just seemed to be overwhelming to me and I couldn't catch on, at least not from where they were starting.  I felt like I was missing something from a previous class, but there were no prerequisites, or at least none that I hadn't already completed.  Now that we are getting into databases a little bit, I am already feeling better prepared to retry that class which just so happens to be next session! In doing this lab I learned how to install MySQL database onto a Linux system, as well as some familiar commands that we have learned...

The more and more we progress through the weeks, the more and more I am catching on to how to use Linux.  As frustrating as it is. a lot of what is helping it really stick with me is the repetitious nature of our platform for the lab.  I still have problems with it weekly either freezing up in some sort of way, or just not working in general to where I have to reboot the platform.  That of course in turn means I end up re-entering everything again.  This happens to me a couple of times each week.  There is also the fact of when I can't find what the error problem is, and sometimes I will reboot the platform to start from scratch.  Regardless, I am finding myself much faster with the keyboard and able to identify regular commands we have been using and knowing when and how to use them. This week I ran into some issues when using the links command to call either of the websites.  I have quadruple checked my work, and I cannot seem to find an issue ther...
