Dom0: CentOS Or Debian Or . . .
Jul 23, 2009I'm leaning towards centos but am concerned that development priority in that distro will switch over from Xen to KVM as RHEL does. Which distro would you choose for dom0 and why?

XEN: Create Debian 4 DomU On Top Of Centos 5.2 Dom0
Dec 16, 2008I'm not a Debian user, so I want some advice how to install Debian 4 as guest OS on top of Centos 5.2 dom0.
Mostly on Google, there's a manual on Centos on top of Debian. I've tried to use the netinstall iso for debian and mount it on /var/www/html/debian and use it for remote install source. So far don't have any success on that.

Webhosting OS Centos Or Ubuntu (Debian)

Suse, Debian, Fedora Or CentOS
Jul 21, 2007I will be dropping my shared-hosting plan and ordering a small VPS as soon as I can decide on which operating sytem to use. It seems that most companies offer the following choices: Suse, Debian, Fedora and CentOS.
I freely admit that I am a full-fledged n00b when it comes to linux and will be learning as I go, the problem is I just don't know where to start because I'm not familiar with any of them. I have at least heard of Suse, Debian and Fedora before, but didn't even know this CentOS existed until yesterday... and yet, it seems to be one of the more popular choices.
So I was wondering if some of you seasoned VPS veterans here could recommend an OS, tell me what the differences are, or otherwise share any experience you might have with any of them.
Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Migrating From Debian To CentOS?
Jan 29, 2015I am attempting to migrate from a debian os server with the latest plesk 12 to Centos (rather cloudlinux) and would like to know if there are any options that should not be checked during the process?

Status: in progress
Current operation deploying domain.com

Different sites are transferring, but I am not sure if the migration will effect the system because the difference in OS folder structure and file location.

Advantage Debian 64 Versus Regular Debian
Oct 9, 2008I just ordered a server which has that setup:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Dual Core
8MB RAM
2x750GB RAID 1 HD
Now I wanna run it with DirectAdmin, but obviously DirectAdmin doesn´t support the Debian 64 which is installed but only 32 bit Debian.
Now I wonder wether I could setup a Debian 32 as well on that system and if yes, wether it would give me a deficit in Performance?
Or would you rather go with CentOS 64 which Directadmin supports?

#dpkg -i nxserver_2.1.0-22_i386.deb
If you get any errors use the following comamnd to fix

#/etc/init.d/ssh start
#/etc/init.d/nxserver start

Ubuntu Server Or Debian
Jul 9, 2008I've just ordered a dedicated server with Ubuntu server, but they've come back to me to say that they've had trouble installing Ubuntu server on these particular servers.
As an alternative, they're offering to install Debian. My concern is that I come from a windows background and have spent the last month reading and playing with Ubuntu Server in vmware. I'll be running a small handful of sites on the server and will rely on the apt-get and package installer in webmin to get things set up and for administration. I'll dabble in the shell a little, but only when needed.
Should I go with a different host that can offer Ubuntu, or will I be okay with Debian?

Reinstalling Packages On Debian
Feb 27, 2007Linux user trying to install a few packages on a new dedicated Debian server.
Following some tutorials, I installed Apache1.3 & PHP4 using apt-get install and had them up and running no problem.
I then decided to change the versions, so removed them using apt-get remove and deleted the relevant folders from /etc (this was before I knew of the apt-get --purge option).
I then tried to install Apache2 and PHP5, and although it appears to have worked, folders are not created for them in /etc so it doesn't work.
Is there a way of doing a fresh clean install so that the folders are created? I've tried apt-get clean without success.
Alternatively, a way to rollback Debian to it's previous state before I got my grubby little hands on it!

Phpmyadmin Install On DEBIAN
Mar 2, 2007This should be a routine walk in the park job for me but for some reason this time the phpmyadmin installation on debian is giving me so much trouble. I have installed it numerous times with no issues.
I am trying phpmyadmin installation the usual way, "apt-get install phpmyadmin" but no matter what I do I keep getting "500 Internal Server Error".
My mysql server has a root password.
I know debian well and they wont put a package up which has not been tested well so I am surprised phpmyadmin is not working properly on the basic installation.
I have been trying to make it work for 3 days now and as a last resort I am coming here to see if someone can shed some light on the issue.

Remote Snmpd On Debian
Aug 4, 2007I am using several different VPS templates for trying to setup SNMP to monitor statistics but for some reason I cannot get the SNMPd to work remotely on either the Debian 3.1 x86_64 or Debian 4.0 i386.

com2sec public 127.0.0.1 public

access public "" any noauth exact all none none
But when I try to setup any remote IP to it, it doesn't go through...
com2sec public 10.250.0.1 public
group public v1 public
group public v2c public
group public usm public
view all included .1
access public "" any noauth exact all none none
I have the same setup on CentOS and SuSE and they work fine with my remote server but I cannot seem to get the Debian to work. I am not a wiz with Debian I will admit, but I have tried everything I can think of including flushing iptables and setting it up on more than one IP.
Please if anyone can suggest anything to help, maybe someone has been successful in setting up the SNMPd for remote access to an IP?
