How to install LxAdmin onto a VPS?

Discussion in 'Site & Server Administration' started by SUB, Aug 23, 2007.

    I am new to this VPS and i don't know much about linux. I tried building the OS to centos-4-i386-afull and then clicking on the install LxAdmin button but nothing is happening.

    I need some assistance...


    I forgot to mention that the vps already has HyperVM installed.

    LX only works with one or two OS. And I don't recall which ones.

    There should be an install option within hyperVM to install it. I think I recall seeing that when I had one of these accounts.

    I think you will like it.

    yes there was a install option within hypervm but that only lead me to rebuild the OS. I'm still lost at what to do afterwards.

    a step by step process would be great.

    Well, if you select install lxadmin from hypervm, the required OS and lxadmin will be installed wiping out all the existing contents of the vps. It will take some time, so be patient. ;)

    Would everything be completely finish installed when that process has been completed?

    My bookmarked link for the account I no longer have was in the format: http://ipnumber:7778

    I would try using the IP numer and 7777 or 7778.

    Can't you just contact your provider?
