Hello,i managed to install httpd(apache)and ftp server with one account which leads to one home directory.But how do i setup name server domain(which should be main domain of server)and connect it to proper home directory?How do i then add other domains and connect them too to home directory and create ftp account?Also i need to setup mail forwarding for other domain,is that toocomplicated?Or could i simpy install webmin and use it's features to do whatever i need? In that case please give tips for installing webmin and usermin.Aha and also it seems i need to install php too,is it enough to download source and compile it? Sincerly
Install webmin if you don't know how to edit the config files for each of these applications. I have spent years as a Unix/Linux admin and know apache/bind/sendmail/postfix/spamassassin/ssh/etc.. inside and out, but if you are learning there is A LOT to learn and I would suggest webmin it has great features!
I feel that if you are not familiar with servers, simply purchase a controlpanel such as Directadmin, pay another $40 for them to do all the installation for you. Directadmin will control nameservers, ftp, email all together on a web based interface. Webmin is free and is great but the learning curve is much steeper than Directadmin. You can try out their demo at http://www.directadmin.com. What you need to do is to install the basic Centos package with DNS, and you can hand over the server to them and have them settle the rest.
Toolate,i already installed webmin and virtualmin.Now i only need to figure how to setup nameservers and dns.IF that will work then everything other will be easy to setup(since webmin have such features)
