Hi all,

I've just setup a cheap VPS at Digital Ocean, but this time to save money on licencing I'm not using Plesk, especially as it'll only host 1 domain anyway.

I'm being brave as a not very confident Linux user, and attempting to install a LAMP stack. CentOS 6 is on and the ART YUM channel is on, plus I've secured the SSH as recommended. Just wondering if there are any tips before I attempt Apache, PHP, and MySQL.

As a Plesk user on my other box this all gets installed for me, so to be going it alone like this is somewhat new ground for me. But I do want to replicate all the modules on my other box, as I've built a MVC web framework that works a charm on my Plesk 11 CentOS 6 server.

Any tips?

Just dump your rpm db (rpm -qa) from the plesk box and duplicate all the php modules you see on that system to the new one.

Oh right. So that command lists all the modules used, sweet. Thanks.

On another note, would ASL work on a VPS instance from Digital Ocean?

Sure, unless its weird. Is it weird?

Just in case anyone else wonders across this post, I found that the command php -m will also display a list of compiled modules.
