Hello everyone, I just bought a server and decided to go with Cent OS, I have 4 x 250 sata hard drives on the server. What I need is space for mp3 and so on. I give my users 100 MB of space to upload their mp3, images and so on. How can I partition my hard drives? 2. Do I need to cluster my hard drives for high availability, in case a hard drive goes down? 3. Do I have to setup apache and php to auto start? 4. For mysql, is it better to use current version or the previous version? also is 500 Gig of data transfer enough for a site like this or no, getting 100 Mbps line and 500 gig data trasfer, on monthly basis. Thank you in advance for your help.
I recommend you to use some control panel like webmin and whm/cpanel it helps much and you can easily perform everytask through web if you are not good with SSH/Shell Thanks! Saad
I am going to use Plesk, since my partner does not know much about ssh. The main concern is should I split the 2 servers, for high availibility or use the 2 terabye as is.
I think you should better use cpanel over plesk as it's easy to understand it .Also you may need alot more bandwidth then 500 gb for such site i mean uploading site...I think one server is okay! Saad
