installation will be the same, only the versions of some software packages might be newer ..

 

Thanks for its answer, Mark.

I have a doubt regarding the topic 6 of the tutorial (Set MySQL Passwords And Configures phpMyAdmin).

In the tutorial The Perfect Server - CentOS 5.5 x86_64 [ISPConfig 3] the topic content Set MySQL Passwords And Configures phpMyAdmin, this very changed.

Which should use?

 

If you installed centos 5.5 then i'd use that one ..

 

I am translating the tutorial for Brazil's Portuguese language, and trying to do this update.

I have another doubt:
Which routine use to install Postfix:

1) The Perfect Server - CentOS 5.5 x86_64 [ISPConfig 3] - 11 Install Postfix With MySQL Support
OR
2) Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (CentOS 5.3 x86_64) - 5 Apply Quota Patch Have Postfix

The routine used in the version installation CentOS 5.5 seems to facilitate a future upgrade. Is that right?

 

If you plan to install ISPConfig 3, then use the first tutorial, otherwise the second.

 

I prepared email server using the following:

Of the tutorial The Perfect Server - CentOS 5.5 x86_64 [ISPConfig 3] used the chapters:

1 Requirements
2 Preliminary Note
3 Install The Base System
4 Adjust /etc/hosts
5 Configure Additional IP Addresses
6 Disable The Firewall And SELinux
8 Quota
17 Install A Chrooted DNS Server (BIND9)

Obs: I did some adaptations to be able to use the tutorial without ISPConfig 3.

Then I did that:

chmod 755 /var/named/
chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/
chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/var/
chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/var/named/
chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/var/run/
chmod 777 /var/named/chroot/var/run/named/
cd /var/named/chroot/var/named/
ln -s ../../ chroot
cp /usr/share/doc/bind-9.3.6/sample/var/named/named.local /var/named/chroot/var/named/named.local
cp /usr/share/doc/bind-9.3.6/sample/var/named/named.root /var/named/chroot/var/named/named.root
touch /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf.local

etc, etc, etc...
Obs: Here I created named.conf according to my needs.

yum install caching-nameserver

chkconfig --levels 235 named on
/etc/init.d/named start
