texte = Stephen Go to Linode.com and set up a base mode Linode server about $20 a month. You can install and play around, and if it doesn't work out for you = trash it and start again until you are happy with what you want, then = you can decide to stay with Linode or move somewhere else. The 1GB Linode is OK for testing and development but for production I = would use at least the 2GB plan. I have a number of servers at Linode. When I need a new server I just = clone an existing one and then I am ready to go. Rather than Plesk, have a look at Webmin. As Donovan said the WebDNA installer for Ubuntu 12.04 is flawless. Here are some install notes that I have, it will take you a couple of = hours first time around to set up a server: ################################################################## Installing Ubuntu 12.04/WebDNA/Webmin/MySQL/ProFTPD Ubuntu 12.04 Apache2 WebDNA 6.2.1 Server Webmin 1.630 ssh root@(ipaddress) ** Enter password ** Update Ubuntu sudo apt-get update ** Install Apache2 sudo apt-get install apache2 ** Install MySQL sudo apt-get install mysql-server ** Install WebDNA wget http://71.13.202.180/WebDNA_Server-Linux-6.2.1.tar.gz tar -xzf WebDNA_Server-Linux-6.2.1.tar.gz cd WebDNA-6.2.1 ./install_WebDNA.sh ** Accept defaults ** reboot server reboot now ** Prepare for Webmin sudo apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl = libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions python ** Get the WebMin Package wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.630_all.deb ** Installs the package sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.630_all.deb ** reboot server reboot now ** Check that you can connect to the ip address. http://(ipaddress) ** Check WebDNA - case sensitive http://(ipaddress)/WebCatalog/ ** Login via browser using root & (password) https://(ipaddress):10000/ ** Make Apache Case Insensitive =46rom the command line, type=20 $ sudo su to get root privileges. ** Edit speling.conf $ nano /etc/apache2/mods-available/speling.conf Add the line=20 CheckSpelling on=20 then hit ctrl-x, y to exit and save the file. ** load apache2 config at commandline $ a2enmod $ speling and hit enter. $ /etc/init.d/apache2 reload ** Mistype a url to test it. ** Webmin - Others > File Manager=20 Set permissions on /var/www Set permissions on www directory and its contents user =3D www-data group =3D www-data octal 0775 also check permissions on /usr/lib/cgi-bin/WebCatalogEngine ** Webmin - Add a new user in System > Users and Groups Create a new user to use with FTP, make user group www-data and = directory "/" This allows the user access to the complete server so that they can = access all the components of WebDNA + www root ** Webmin - Install ProFTPD Server In "Unused Modules" click on ProFTPD Server link and allow it to self = install Go to ProFTPD and open Virtual Server Options, open "User and Group" Run as Unix Group "www-data" Test the ftp connection. ** Webmin - run updates Select "System Information" from left hand menu, check if any updates = are required.
