Hello, Im sure you have heard this before " I'm a NewB" Anyhow I have the urge to set up my own server. I have FC6 and want to be able to run this from my house and host multiple sites of mine and such on it! I guess what im looking for is a complete how to from start to finish in setting this up properly. I'd like to have php mysql and all the goodies that one would get from purchasing a host. I would appreciate all the help i can get and thanks in advance!
Have a look at this howto: http://www.howtoforge.com/installing_a_lamp_system_with_fedora_core_6 It contains the installation instructions for all serviceses needed to run your hosting server at home.
i tried that one and got all the way up to installing software and that wouldn't work. I also tried installing software indivually and still no luck. yum install fetchmail wget bzip2 unzip zip nmap openssl lynx fileutils ncftp gcc gcc-c++ to answer why i choose fc6, well its ratings are high and thought id give it a try. I did a server years ago with debian... jsut a simple one and now i want to learn more.
What exactly is the problem? Did you follow http://www.howtoforge.com/installing_a_lamp_system_with_fedora_core_6 as close as possible? Did you disable SELinux?
hmmm dont rem now for sure but i believe it error getting url or file problem! I actually have the sys running and now im trying to put php a phpadmin in and a fewother mods. when i installed phpmyadmin they were installed in the var/www/phpadmin/ so how do i get to the admin section and yes i tried the var url with no luck. Is there somthing else i have to do? Id allso like a control panel like vdeck of plesk or cpanel waht do u suggest?
