    Hello everybody,

    I have a VPS hosting on linux server but there is no software installed, not even php and mysql. There is only vds manager which I have no idea how to use. Can anyone please tell how to install all the software that are necessary to make website work on this hosting. I think these software are php, mysql, apache and plus some control panel like isp omega... Is there anything else?

    I use windows xp on my computer.

    Thanks in advance

    Installation of those items depends on what flavor operating system your VPS is using. The control panel that you install as well, would depend on what you are planning on using the VPS for. If you could provide more details of what you have, I'm sure that we could point you in the right direction.

    Neither application is particularly hard to install, but to install them in a secure manner, and being sure that things like file permissions are set-up correctly, does take a certain amount of knowledge and expertise.

    If you're not sure how to do it, it would be worth getting in touch with your VPS provider and asking them to do the install for you. They may charge for the service but it would definitely be money well spent.

    The install of both these applications, and completing any security set-up, shouldn't take more than around 30 minutes if your host does this sort of thing regularly and has a well-scripted method.

    does your vps come with any management? If yes, ask your host for assistance. If no, then you really shoul dhave gone with a host that offers management if you don't have enough exp managing a linux server from scratch.

    if you want to install apache, php and mysql.

    Use one of the below software

    Xamp

    or

    EasyPHP.

    Both are exe file and when you clcik it it will start installing.

    These software install apache, php and mysql in your windows system.

    After install click the desktop shortcut and it will start runnning.

    Then go to IE and type 121.0.0.1 or http://localhost

    you can see apache running.

    To execut any files just copy those file to "www" inside c->programfiles->easyphp orxamp->www and paste it

    now go to IE and type http://localhost you get all files listed in IE
    and you can run it

    he said he's on a linux vps...exe files won't work there very easily and that's a hassle because you can install php/apache/mysql straight into the source with a few commands.

    Like njoker555 said installing Apache/PHP & MySQL is too simple to use stuff like Xamp and other ready to go packages.

    But after you have installed it i suggest you have a look into how to chroot and configure your apache/php and mysql installation for the best possible result.. Or you could rent a server admin to do it for you.. some does it cheap some doesn´t.. But you should be abler to find one for $40-100.. And if you need free support information on guides and such you can just pm me later.
