Hi all, As some of you know I have been expierncing random freezing of a PE 1850. Since there is no real answer (lots of opinions), I have decided to build a new server for my client. I have a PE 750 that has been running a year now as a devel server. All that was needed was to upgrade the HD to 74GB per the original quote. That was done this weekend. FreeBSD 5.4 has been installed and the ports collection CVSUpded this morning. The kernel has been rebuilt to allow QUOTAs, and a basic ipfw firewall setup. I have loaded a number of servers in the past, with success, all of them based around PHP APache, MySQL Exim and vm-pop3d. All that having been said, I wanted to pick some brains of y'all regarding how you would handle loading all the new software on the server. The goal here is to have a functional webserver, with Apache, MySQL, PHP(with bells and whistles) , PERL, vm-pop3d, Exim(MTA), Spamassassin, Webmin, Usermin, ipa (for bandwidth accounting), Webalizer It will be used my my client to lots of virtual hosting. However, I am the only one with shell access. Here is what I intend to do ... suggestions, criticisms welcome. (i.e. doing something backwards, missing some critical steps etc). The first few lines are the ones I ussually trip over ... geting PHP and apache to work right together, and getting the correct PHP extensions istalled. Also, I like using Apache 2.x so I can have one deamon with http and https in one deamon. If anyone has a slicker flow of installation, I would really like to hear about it! installing database/MySQL server (4.1.18_1) installing database/MySQL client (4.1.18) install lang/PHP4 (4.4.1_1) install (use config) lang/php-extensions install apache install Exim install vm-pop3d install p5-spamassassin install webalizer install and customize Webmin install and costomize usermin install and configure various scripts for backups, log rotation, mrtg (system load) etc etc. -Grant _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
