New VPS LAMP install tips
Posted: Fri Nov 01, 2013 9:45 pm
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?
