Hello all,
Well i am going to order my own dedicated server (co-located) and hope to set it up at the end of the week. I have a little experiences in setting up a server, but when i say little i really mean little!
I want to make a checklist what to install, with what version to get the server and linkssql up and running.
Let's say we start with a clean drive what to do with:
- install redhat linux, i will let the isp install it, pffuhhh save some time. Which version shall i use from Redhat linux, version 6.2 ?
The rest i have to do by myself:
- A current version of Perl 5 (version 5.004 or better) this is installed when setting up redhat right?
- Perl database modules: DBI and the appropriate DBD module loaded, which version to use and is it easy to install?
- Database Server. Mysql 3.21+, my isp has version 3.12 :) i believe, which version to install and is it easy to install it by myself ? Or shall i let the isp setup mysql (but maybe they will only install version 3.12) ?
- Optional: Links SQL will work under mod_perl for the best performance.
Which version to install and is it easy to install ? Do you recommend it to install or just use perl ?
- The biggest problem i am 'afreed' off it setting up domains/pop3/ftp and so on. Well maybe
i will install webmin http://www.webmin.com/webmin/ for that job, but is it easy to install ?
Do you have any other tips for a 'newbie': like how to setup directory structure/path of the server ?
I will order about 2394324 :) books about perl, mysql and linux redhat.
You know good book titles or site(s) about perl, mysql and linux redhat ?
Allready thanks.
Regards Startpoint.
