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:

<[email protected]>... Deferred: 451 Temporary local problem - please try later
<<< 503 valid RCPT command must precede DATA

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!

Thats why I am always on managed servers, full support...

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.

I do mainstream hosting. We have a very robust solution.
