Hello, I want to install an Apache server in Debian 3.1. I've got an Computer with 20 GB; 512 MB RAM for this Server. My question now is which partitions I should make (var,tmp...). I want to connect 4 other computers to this server and the internet. Thx Silke
Hell Silke I generally recommend such a setup: (1) SWAP Partition "Type Swap" --> twice the size of your ram --> 1 GB (2) Root Partition "Type Ext3, Mounting Point '/'" --> Since this is going to be a server probably up to max. 5 GBs for kernel, tmp folder, programs, mysql dbs et al. (3) Apache Root "Type Ext3, default mounting point '/var/www' --> all the rest... it's the partition where you then would store all the webrelevant data as images, videos, html/php scripts, .... You can alter the default mounting point but it should be - imho - where you define your apache root to be... Of course - according to your needs - you can all alter that... in this setup you would have like a 14gb partition for webstuff... maybe you don't need that much...
