Have any of you successfully installed Ensim onto a standard RedHat 7.2 RackShack server? If so, any tips?

you can't just install it on a default Redhat machine install. It needs to be partitioned a certain way with certain services enabled/disabled. Good luck getting Rackshack to re-install your machine with that specific partitioning cause they wont! They sell you as-is machines. They do sell servers with Ensim pre-installed for you though at no monthly fee. I reccomend that. Got 2 with them that way and have had no problems. Just watch the buggers when they try to get you for bandwith overages they can't prove you used!

The only place i have found that will partition a server to your needs is FDC servers, although i haven't been able to install Ensim on my box there, others have.

Unfortunately, RackShack has its disadvantages, this being one. Like LMS MIS said, it's easier to have it pre-installed. Just offer someone $25 to help you install it, it usually works that way.


:eek2: I should hide from Robert Marsh, he will come to ban me for disrespecting RackShack :eek2:

" They do sell servers with Ensim pre-installed for you though at no monthly fee. "

Their Ensim 1.7ghz servers are $10 more a month, I was hoping to be able to save that (that's an extra month of service over the course of a year!)

"Just offer someone $25 to help you install it, it usually works that way. "

According to LMS isn't that not possible?
