Re: [Staffslug] Best Linux Server Distro for LAM (perl/CGI)
Walt,
For an ultra quick web server that will come with a LAMP stack I'd
suggest this...
http://isp-control.net/
It'll install a full blown LAMP stack plus a control panel for managing
the domains and various options, if you were installing on a fresh
minimal or standard Debian install then you can use my quick cheat
commands below...
cd /usr/local/src
wget
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ispcp/files/ispCP%20Omega/ispCP%20Omega%2...
tar zxvf ispcp-omega-1.0.5.tar.gz && rm -f $_
cd ispcp-omega-1.0.5
aptitude install $(cat docs/Debian/debian-packages-lenny)
aptitude clean
# Set the MySQL root password, no web based directories and standalone
mode for ProFTPd
make install
cp -R /tmp/ispcp/* /
rm -Rf /tmp/ispcp
cd /var/www/ispcp/engine/setup
perl ./ispcp-setup
# Set or accept the FQDN, IP, choose an admin domain (can be the same as
the FQDN)
# Accept the MySQL host, database, user, and enter the root password
from earlier
# Allow auto generated usernames and passwords for FTP and phpMyAdmin
# Choose an administrators login name, password, and give an e-mail address
# Confirm any secondary DNS or MySQL prefix
# Confirm fcgid for FastCGI version but you do want AWStats in Dynamic mode
Personally I use Froxlor (as I'm a long time SysCP user) but this
requires a lot more knowledge of configuring the individual services.
ispCP Omega will just do it all for you.

Hi all,
Thanks for all your help, comments and suggestions. I am back at the
drawing board as its getting too complicated now. All I want is to write
the scripts which will execute correctly on any LAMP server. The current
site (it's a local school) wants to get away from being tied to an asp
server which limits their ability to host the site at a reasonable cost.
I know ASP quite well and I can do all the HTML/CSS/Javascript bits. So all
I need is a standard LAMP server on my LAN to test the conversion from ASP
to PHP or whatever is most common. The only reason this site needs server
side support is because of the databases being used and it also provides the
ability to introduce sessions, blog(s), forums, comments page etc for
parents and PTA etc to use at a later stage.
So to re-phrase the question, what is the easiest route to achieve the
above. Fortunately this is non-urgent.
Walt
