I'm making the switch from windows to linux for our company web server. We've been running IIS/MySQL/PHP for years and with the OS cost to upgrade the server switching to Linux seems an obvious choice. What frustrates me is that none of the Distros seem very quick to use the latest versions of the AMP components and compiliing from source seems an unnessary hassle. I've tried Ubuntu server so far which has Apache 2.2.9/Mysql 5.0.67/PHP 5.2.6 with no room to easily upgrade any of the components (our WIMP server uses the latest MySQL/PHP).
I am trying to install LAMP on Ubuntu 7.1. However I installed apache2, php5 and mysql and it is not running properly. I would like to start from scratch. Could someone please tell me how to go about removing all three components and then installing all from scratch so that it will run properly?
I'm setting up a VPS server on Slicehost, I've followed the guide on howtoforge for debian and have everything installed including ISPConfig3. Everything seems to work fine at the mo but when I check the memory usage, i see that I'm using around 490/500mb of my 512mb setup. Its a Xen setup so I understand this is real memory available but I'm not sure if this is enough.
I will ultimately be running around a dozen sites, some static and some dynamic. There's one Mambo and one Joomla site there but they don't update. The rest are all php/mysql sites that I've built myself but again, they don't change that much. None of the sites currently see more than a couple hundred uniques a day, and some only a handful, so usage is not high. Most of the domains have e-mail accounts attached, but its only moderate usage with around a dozen addys per domain max.
So, do I need more memory or will 512 be enough? Is there anything I can do to reduce the load and give myself some more room?
I'm moving from a shared hosting environment and while I'm comfortable setting up the server, I would rather have a simple mail manager that would give users more control over their accounts, change passwords etc, which I'm hoping ISPConfig3 will be able to help with, but thats probably best discussed in another post.

I'm in the process of trying to document a process for setting up any new LAMP servers in our hosting environment and I was wondering if anyone had any input on software and best practices that they use in their environment and why. I.E.
PHP setup Apache setup Preferred Linux Distro FTP program used User creation guidelines Default php.ini settings Default site settings etc.
I have a cople of dedicated servers. Both run the same software, phpBB forums. However, with the top command I see one of them need as much as triple memory for every apache process than the other. Here are the details:
Do you realise that the x64 Opteron is needing an avarage 1.7 %MEM for each Apache process while the Xeon just needs 0.5 %MEM?
Since both use the same version of phpBB and the same version of CentOS5, while the only difference is one is x64 and the other i686, I wonder if this has to do with the way memory is handled by the x64 CentOS5.
We have a spare powerconnect server in work and i was looking to set it up as a web server for a company intranet - more to gain experience in configuring a web server than anything else.
I decided to go with Fedora 8 as i'd used fedora previously and followed the LAMP tutorial on HowToForge.
However i've come across a problem which i just can't seem to resolve (after pretty intensive searching). So, i guess this post is in 2 parts.
Firstly, the error i'm getting is with mysql only. The error message is:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
I understand this may be a generic error but i'm not sure what other information would be useful.
Secondly, as this is my first web server - have I made the correct choice in terms of linix release or would something like CentOS be more suitable? I'd like to get this right from the start now that i have the chance.
to set up a little server that will have LAMP installed on it. All it will do is host a small program that runs on PHP and mySQL and will only be used on an office network with about 50 employees.
How well would this server run if the hardware was rather modest (667Mhz, 128mb RAM, 10GB HDD)?
get my development box set up running LAMP. I have Fedora 7 currently installed but don't really know much about setting up the environment to host multiple sites (development purposes only), getting Phpmyadmin set up, etc. I'm used to typically doing my dev with with apache2triad on Windows but would much rather be working on a Linux box for development as i do my hosting in a Linux environment as well.
I want to run a firewall on my LAMP server. I'm using Ubuntu 6.10 server. Previously I used firehol to achieve this but the new version of the kernel I'm using doesn't seem to be compatible. So I went to try ipkungfu instead and that didn't work saying "my kernel doesn't support LOGS". So basically I'm going to need to play around with iptables myself. I've been reading up on TCP/IP in order to learn how to do this but, well, it's really not very much fun. SoDoes anybody have a bunch of iptables commands I can use to set up a basic firewall to block all requests except certain ones (I don't need anything complex like forwarding)?
Because of the security issues inherent in controlling DNS servers on other VPS/servers that run other processes, host websites and store mission-critical data and for other reasons related to control, we want to keep our DNS server separate from our other servers and our own desktops. Therefore, we're going to get a small VPS for this purpose.
We won't totally cheap out on this so we'll be getting a quality VPS from a good provider. But, we probably don't need more than 5 or 10G of HD space but we wonder how much RAM and bandwidth we need to run something like MyDNS with MyDNSConfig with a MySQL backend.
Also, what's the best Linux distro for this kind of thing? We use CentOS with facility but are not afraid to try a new one if it's a better choice for this purpose.
I have accounts on site5 and hostgator (shared plan, not dedicated) and was trying setup knowledgetree a open source document management portal built on Linux/PHP/Apache/MySQL platform.
Everything worked fine except the indexing component as that required Java/JRE. Indexing is very important to me.
So all my hard work for the last 2 days came to a screeching halt.
I badly need to find a hosting service that offers LAMP + Java technologies for a decent price.
For a LAMP server user, is there a general consensus that everyone should pretty much install and run ModSecurity? Is there ever a good reason not too?
I currently dev locally on a cobalt RAQ (ollld!) and would like to upgrade this setup.
I'm looking for a simple way of getting a linux system setup for internal dev work with the basics... mysql, apache, php5, and some kind of version control - subversion / cvs.
Are there any linux liveCDs that I could use to make something like this quite easily? For our production server we use plesk, so a control panel similar to that for setting up new dev domains would be useful. Open source of couse tho.
I am just trying to understand what I am doing wrong when I try to set up a second server with LAMP. I already have a working server with LAMP but i didn't set that one up. Now I am trying to add additional machine and I am trying to figure out what else do i have to do so the machine will work as virtual server for my webpage(s).
Like I said, on a new server i already installed Lamp, forwarded ports 80, 22, 442 ....to correct LAN IP, and added an entry under apache2 sites-available like this:
Than i connected a new domain to my main IP but it automaticly connects to the old server that is already running in my home network. So the question is what do i have to do, for my new server to run the webpages i want to? Do i have to add a specific command on old server or something else i forgot?
We are getting infinite loops due to the user requesting the same page continuously , even if apache sends a 200. It is happening randomly once every two or three weeks for different users.This issue is not confined to one browser it is happening with firefox 21, firefox 5, ie 8, etc. It is not happening to the same user again.
It is a PHP based website with custom CMS.We are never able to replicate this issue.Is this something related to a plugin installed on a browser ?
I would imagine there's a source for this but google's not yielding much. I'm looking for a CD/DVD ISO that will essentially auto install and configure a linux box with at least SSH access so I can manually install the rest.
I know bluequartz does this, put the CD and the install auto configures pretty much everything. Where would one find one click install discs for either CentOS or debian/ubuntu?
I built a web hosting server, the following is its state
Cent os 5 AMP server loaded updated (installed it as a complete suite during installation so it was all set to go with php mysql modules loaded) webmin usermin virtualmin
created 2 named based hosts.
now when i load up wordpress in a site and try to run install.php
the following pops up
"Sorry, I can't write to the directory. You'll have to either change the permissions on your WordPress directory or create your wp-config.php manually."
I had this issue before and research said to redo the entire server (tried everything and was fed up had fedora then"
you can have a look at www.itgrunts.com just click create config file and the errror pops up.
The php and mysql db work great on simple scripts but i dont know why this happens.
i worked with assigning the users and apache user to the directory and everything, no joy.
I have a moderately successful site, which makes enough money to cover my current hosting costs of 7 per month. I know, millionaire row it ain't, but it's popular. But my database is getting big and my current host wont allow the user of EXECUTE and SUPER privileges which I need to run triggers and stored procedures to keep the page load times sensible.
So, I need another UK host with:
- 2Gb of space (the site serves up big PDF documents)
- 70Gb of bandwidth (I said they were big)
- mysql privs available as above
Customer service with my current host, uk web solutions, is great (apart from refusal to countenance the privileges) so I need my new host to be as good. Budget? well, you can see what I'm paying now, and I have a psychological £10/month barrier which I don't want to cross.
I have a LAMP server at home and in my website I added a php form using gmail smtp but Im not receiving any emails from the form. Do I need to add something to my server? Im using the free contact form from this website [URL]....
