    Need some advice please on a new server, what should I do?

    G'day,
    Reason for this question is I am not too sure what should be setup on a unmanaged server and what should be already setup ready to go.

    I can't get through to tech support for some of my questions;
    ie:
    ----- Transcript of session follows -----
    ... while talking to hostcentrex.com.:
    >>> DATA
    <<< 451 Temporary local problem - please try later
    <[email protected]>... Deferred: 451 Temporary local problem - please try later
    <<< 503 valid RCPT command must precede DATA
    Warning: message still undelivered after 4 hours
    Will keep trying until message is 5 days old

    -------------

    Anyhow I feel that I should continue giving with this one and give it a good go so my questions are;
    1) Is there a Company who can perform some tasks (for a fee) to setup;
    The following have not been installed;
    Apache Webserver / FTP server / DNS / PHP / Mail / MySQL

    Aww my head hurts cause I am on other unmanaged server where I these simple things are already installed..
    Good thing I can say is that I learnt about the command yum today...

    Hosthead Guys, I miss you guys and I think I know what I will do this week!

    Thanks, and am open to any kicks in the gutt right now guys so fire away!

      yum install mysql-server mysql php-mysql php httpd

      would install the things mentioned

      just google the exact name of what you need, such as "perl-DBD-MySQL" and install it by typing

      yum perl-DBD-MySQL [Press Enter]

      and so on...

        Dump question, but why would you get a unmanaged server if you know nothing about being a server admin?

        Setting up a server and keeping it running are not for the unexperienced.
