Server Setup

Hey,
i'm about to buy a Dedicated server,
and i need some help knowing what to do to set everything up

OS: CentOS

i would need
LiteSpeed + MySQL + Python + Perl + everything else
FTP
mail server
a admin panel of some sort..
and other things i'd need

 

Whether you buy a VPS or a Dedicated server you are given with the option to choose from a number of distros (operating systems) that come already with basic software packages including Perl, MySql, PHP, Bind, Mail and FTP servers, etc., but you can always install everything else from the shell via command line.

Control panel is often an option and you may choose among Cpanel/WHM or Plesk, two of the most popular CPs but there are many others, including free ones.

I would choose Apache 2.2.3 with CentOS 5 as a distro... in fact my actual server sertting

 

see this: www.mysql-apache-php.com to setup MySQL+Apache+PHP+Webmin

 

pay someone. You obviously dont know how to do it. Do you want to jeopardize your server and website with faulty install and security threath

 

If you want the full process, step by step, on any distro you may try this link to find it out, www.howtoforge.com

 

Please Check PM.

 

i agree with this, it is better to be safe rather than sorry, especially if you are considering hosting customer sites on it.

 

Setting a dedicated server correctly can be quiet a task. I personally setup dedicated servers for my customers and make sure everything runs correctly. Every change and addition you make must be verified as something can affect a different part of the server and cause chaos. Be careful on setting it up, as most people recommended, if you have no knowledge at all and you are looking to use it for a production environment, have someone do it for you.

 

I just purchased a VPS package and even that is confusing for me! Watch out if you don't know what you are doing...
