Help appreciated
Hello everyone. New to this forum and hope I'm in the right spot. Recently decided to rent a vps for me and my families websites however I am unsure of what to do nxt. Next steps, Advice or links to guides would be very appreciated. I have a decent knowledge of computers and have used many shared hosting services in the past with mild Linux exposure.
My VPS came with the Operating System Cent OS 5 - 32 bit (OpenVZ) showing in my VPS Control Panel, With "vps-master" prefix showing in the URL
What should I do now to get setup and functional. Put up my hosting files onto the VPS, security concerns etc.
Thank you.

Take a look at this guide. That should tell you everything you need to know, at least to get started.

You can also install Kloxo and it will provide a default configuration, installing a web server, MySQL and PHP. They have ample help in their forums.
Keep things simple at first, and learn as you go.

Anyone have any other options for a guide which will work with 256mb ram (burst 512) as this Kloxo & webmin tut maxes out the mem as well as errors.
OpenVZ/CentO S. installed.
Any specific guides out there for complete setup?

There are 2 options when installing kloxo:
1) Full install (kloxo will install mysql server for you)
2) Install Kloxo with mysql ALREADY installed.
For low memory vps, you need to use option 2.
Install mysql server first, e.g.
- yum install mysql-server
- edit my.cnf file to lower the memory usage (see sample below)
- service mysqld start
- mysql_secure_installation (to set a root password to mysql)
Then, follow the Kloxo install instruction for Option #2
Sample low-memory mysql config file (my.cnf)
---------------------------------------------
[mysqld]
user = mysql
datadir = /var/lib/mysql
socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
tmpdir = /tmp
skip-external-locking
key_buffer = 8M
max_allowed_packet = 8M
thread_cache_size = 8
thread_stack = 192K
myisam-recover = BACKUP
query_cache_limit = 1M
query_cache_size = 8M
log_error = /var/log/mysql/error.log
expire_logs_days = 10
max_binlog_size = 50M
skip-innodb
[client]
socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
[mysqld_safe]
socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
nice = 0
[mysqld_safe]
log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
[mysqldump]
quick
quote-names
max_allowed_packet = 16M
[isamchk]
key_buffer = 8M

I have found lots of awesome Video Tutorials on LYNDA.com. This site has tutorials for everything you could think of, from setting up a VPS to SEO and Social Media Marketing. It costs around $20.00, but for me, it has paid for itself many times over.The good thing about LYNDA is that you can save your progress, go back to earlier lessons/tutorials, so you can basically learn at your own pace.

Followed your instructions and received this error:
Timeout error occurred trying to start MySQL Daemon. ?
Suggestions?
Can these settings be edited after a completed install of webmin and kloxo (with kloxo installing mysql on it's own)? There was also mention of webmin only compatible with certain version of mysql3?
Any help appreciated, ty.
Starting to think this is more trouble then it's worth without a definitive guide.
