Gpaste is a clipboard manager allows you to keep a trace of what you’re copying and pasting. It is really useful when you go through tons of documentation and you want to keep around a bunch of functions you might want to use, for example. The clipboard manager will store a history of everything you do, so that you can get back to older copies you now want to paste.
Gpaste 3.2.2 and the couple of following ones (3.3 and maybe 3.4) are the last releases supporting GNOME Ubuntu Unity applet.
What’s New in Gpaste 3.2.2:

This tutorial shows you how to install LEMP stack in Ubuntu 13.10. LEMP stands for Linux, Nginx (pronounced “engine x”), MySQL and PHP. The nginx project started with a strong focus on high concurrency, high performance and low memory usage. So it’s a good alternative to Apache webserver for building websites on low memory hosts.
Tutorial Objectives:
Install Nginx, Php5, MySQL (LEMP) in Ubuntu 13.10 Server
Enjoy!
To get started, first login your Ubuntu Server and follow the steps below:
1. Intall MySQL
MySQL is a database management system which stores and organizes references to the information the webserver needs.
To install it, run command:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client
While the installing process, you’ll be asked to type a password for MySQL root user.
2. Install Nginx
Nginx is available in Ubuntu’s repository, run command below to install it:
sudo apt-get install nginx
Or you can install the latest stable version from Nginx PPA:
To check out if nginx is working, go to http://serverip:
nginx is working ubuntu 13.10
3. Install PHP5
PHP is a reflective programming language, which makes it possible for all these different parts to work together.
We can make PHP5 work in nginx through PHP-FPM, which is an alternative PHP FastCGI implementation with some additional features useful for sites of any size, especially busier sites.
Run command below to install php5-fpm:
sudo apt-get install php5-fpm
4. Setup Nginx
The nginx configuration is in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf, read this configuration example.
Now, let’s modify the default site example:
sudo vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
Here you can define root directory (to put WordPress files there), your site domain, as well as other settings. See the example below:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
# Make site accessible from http://localhost/
server_name localhost;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
}
location /doc/ {
alias /usr/share/doc/;
autoindex on;
allow 127.0.0.1;
allow ::1;
deny all;
}
#
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
# With php5-fpm:
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
# concurs with nginx's one
#
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
After that, reload Nginx:
sudo service nginx reload
4. Check out if PHP is working
Create the test file:
sudo vi /usr/share/nginx/html/info.php
Add following lines and save the file:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Go to http://serverip/info.php in client’s web browser and you’ll see:
php is working
5. Get MySQL working with PHP
Install Xcache, a free and open PHP opcode cacher for caching and optimizing PHP intermediate code, as well as other PHP modules:
This tutorial show you how to install LAMP in Ubuntu 13.10 Server. LAMP stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. It is a combination of these 4 that suitable for building high-availability heavy-duty dynamic web sites.
Linux is a Unix-like and POSIX-compliant operating system. Ubuntu is one of popular Linux distributions.
Apache is a HTTP web server, the most popular in use. It serves webpages when they’re requested by the web browsers. When you type an URL on your web server and press Enter, the pages you see on screen is most likely served by Apache webserver.

Choose apache2 webserver while the installing process and say NO to “Configure database for phpmyadmin with dbconfig-common?”
Once installed, run commands below to get it working:
sudo sh -c 'echo "Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf" >> /etc/apache2/apache2.conf' && sudo service apache2 restart
Now, go to http://UBUNTUSERVERIP/phpmyadmin/ in your client’s browser and type in root and the password you set when MySQL was installed to login.
phpmyadmin login
Follow the steps below to create Database and user:
Step 1 – Click on Users then click Add User.
Step 2 – Type in your desired User name (wordpress is a good one) and ensure Use text field is selected. Ensure Host is set to Local from the drop down list and the text box will change to localhost and enter a Password and then confirm it in the Re-type box. Ensure the Password Use text field is also selected.
Step 3 – Click on Create database with same name and grant all priviliges.
Step 4 – Click on Go.
phpmyadmin create user and database
If you’re using LNMP (Linux, Nginx, MySQL, PHP), follow the steps below to create user & database (both are wordpress in commands below).
Step 1 – Run command in Ubuntu Server to log into MySQL Shell with MySQL root password:
mysql -u root -p
Step 2 – Create database, here I named it wordpress:
CREATE DATABASE wordpress;
Step 3 – Create a new user also named wordpress:
CREATE USER wordpress@localhost;
Step 4 – Set a password for this user:
SET PASSWORD FOR wordpress@localhost= PASSWORD("12345678");
Step 5 – Grant all privileges to the new user:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO wordpress@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '12345678';
Step 6 – Refresh MySQL:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Exit MySQL shell:
exit
2. Download WordPress
On Ubuntu Server, run command below to download the latest wordpress package from its official site:
cd && wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
Then uncompress it via command below:
tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz
3. Setup WordPress Configuration
First copy the sample wordpress configuration file into a new config file:
cd && cp wordpress/wp-config-sample.php wordpress/wp-config.php
Then edit the file with command below:
vi wordpress/wp-config.php
Find the section that contains the field below and substitute in the correct name for your database, username, and password:
// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress‘);
/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘wordpress‘);
/** MySQL database password */
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘12345678‘);
Press i to start editing, and Esc to end editing. Finally press Shift+: followed by wq and Enter to save and exit the file.
4 Copy the files
Now move WordPress files to webserver root directory:
For LAMP:
cd && sudo rsync -avP wordpress/ /var/www/
For LNMP:
cd && sudo rsync -avP wordpress/ /usr/share/nginx/html/
Give ownership of the directory to the apache/nginx user:
cd /var/www/ ###For nginx: cd /usr/share/nginx/html/
sudo chown www-data:www-data * -R
sudo usermod -a -G www-data www-data
5. Install WordPress:
Now in your client’s web browser go to http://UBUNTUSERVERIP/wp-admin/install.php and install your wordpress site:
