I need help setting up my new dedicated server. I had a virtual dedicated server with GoDaddy using Plesk control panel. It was really nice but limited my options a lot.. It was also quite slow, considering it was virtual dedicated. I recently got a new dedicated server with ayksolutions and I'm kind of left in the dark about as to how to set up multiple sites using webmin... I downloaded the apache module and also Bind DNS but I tried to set it up myself and pointed one of my domains to this IP using nameservers and my domain can't find my server. Can someone please help me or point me to an easy to figure out tutorial??

There are many tutorials out there on how to setup a server using the Webmin/Virtualmin (Virtualmin is a plugin that aids in setting up multiple sites) combo. See if this one helps you out:

That sort of helps, but I'm running on Fedora and a lot of these links don't work on that tutorial.. I try to start Virtualmin, but it says that Bind DNS isn't listed for the local server 127.0.0.1
and I added that to the networks and IPs so I can't even start
Virtualmin..

Would you recommend just paying $10 per month to get ServerCP or trying to work webmin around it (which is preferred)?

Here's a quick tutorial:

echo "deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free" >/etc/apt/sources.list

apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install dtc-toaster

That would work if I was running on Debian, but I'm running on Fedora.. I tried to do the same with yum, etc, but it didn't work. Thank you for trying to help though!
