Cent OS Web Server

Hi Everyone,

I just found this website form google and found the amazing LAMP tutorials that you guys have written up but I have a few questions.

Would this be the latest tutorial that I should follow?
http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-apache2-with-php5-and-mysql-support-on-centos-5.5-lamp

Or should I follow this one?
http://www.howtoforge.com/centos-5.1-server-lamp-email-dns-ftp-ispconfig

This server will be for web hosting, so I need these:
-Apache (Latest)
-Cent OS 5.5
-PHP 5
-Mysql 5
-PHPmyAdmin
-DNS (best option)
-FTP (best option)
-Email (best option)
-Backup (best option to another HDD)
-Cpanel/WHM

Also does squirlmail and roundcube come with the Email installation?

Thanks,
-Sam

 

If you use CentOS 5.5, you should use the first link ( http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-apache2-with-php5-and-mysql-support-on-centos-5.5-lamp ).

But if you want a complete hosting solution (including a control panel), I suggest you check out this one: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-5.5-x86_64-ispconfig-3

 

Can I follow that tutorial but instead of ISPConfig3 use Cpanel/WHM?

I will try the tutorial and post back on how it went.

 

I've never used CPanel/WHM, but probably this won't work.

 

I have a question. Can this server configuration handle 200 websites dynamic?

Intel Core i5 2.66
2 TB space
10 TB Bandwidth
2 GB DDR3 Ram
100Mbps


Thanks

 

That depends on how the pages are programmed/optimized, how many traffic you expect, etc. But generally I think you should increase your RAM (like (GB or more) - the rest looks ok.
