Sorry guy... I think ppl missed the point that I was just agreeing with
CS's comments about CLI v's 'the gooey mess'.
My post was only to illustrate that CS is right on the mark... CIL is
just Cleaner, Leaner and more Immediate! :)
I recommend you spend some time at howtoforge and use their instructions to
build this server. IMO your current appreoch will end in tears... unless you're
making copious notes and are going to start again from scratch using them.
So far my server build is going just fine.
I didn't waste much time (2 minutes) with the GUI for the networking
before I decided that editing the interfaces file manually would be quicker.
I used apt-get to install openssh-server then went back to my laptop to
apt-get apache2, followed by all the other bits I wanted.
By default apache2 seems to like index.html and not index.php, so that
took me about an hour to figure out what value to set up to fix that and
get it in the right place.
<%%> stuffed me up till I remembered where to turn on the asp style tags.
"display_errors = Off and log_errors = On" in php.ini being On and Off,
rather than Off and On, showed up a few warnings in my php code that I
need to sort out.
mysql5 has a few more features than mysql4, so that kept me busy for
another hour while I looked about at what other things I could get in to
trouble with! :)
user/host rights caught me out for about half an hour. I'd used the
webmin interface to set it up in CC. This time I used phpmyadmin.
All in all... I'm quite happy that the machine is getting there fast
enough... I was just having a rant at GUI following CS's comments :)
Cheers Don
