    Hi, i have tried to follow this how to, but have had som problems.

    the first problem i had was with : yum install apt

    this dosnt work error ends with : no more errors to try.

    i tried to continue, using yum instead to apt, but couldnt install imap. Ive now started from the begining, but im still having trouble with apt

    Fedora Core 4 is pretty old. Why don't you use Fedora 8?

    Anyway, instead of using apt, you can install all packages with yum. The syntax is the same:
    Code:
    yum install [I]package_name[/I]

    Tried that too.

    Ive tried a few versions now, and had different problems, with mysql, and email mostly. I installed a Debian network install three times and it wouldnt accept the root user password, tried three times incase i messed up and forgot it (well, ive not been getting much sleep.)

    can you please suggest a Distribution. im compleatly new to linux, still new to php and mysql. I have a turn based game online, (not sure if im allowed to post link, so i wont.) and was hoping to run it on a local web server for testing.

    Sorry, but just one more thing. i have a domain registered with go daddy. i changed the a record to my ip address, this worked untill i installed ISPConfigwould you know where i could find moer information about this.

    thanks for your time. JFM

    ok, ill start again.

    Hi, thanks again for your reply. the problem i was having with ISPConfig is now when i use the domain name www.xxxxx.com, ISPConfig replys with ' this is a shared server and that i must use a name, and not a ip address.

    Any how, im going to instal Debian again now. i will let you know how i get on.

    Thanks pat.

    Please make sure that you have www.xxxxx.com in Vhosts_ispconfig.conf, and that you use an IP address from the
    Code:
    ifconfig
    output in Vhosts_ispconfig.conf. If you use other IP addresses, you get the Shared IP page.
