Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : Setting Up A Dell Server

[sam777]

I am about to purchase a Dell PowerEdge 1550 with Linux. It comes with no pre-installed software such as PHP and MySQL. Would anyone be able to help me install these programs and also help me set up multiple websites on it? I don't know much at all about Linux, however, I have installed it a few times.

Basically, when I setup a website, is there like 15 different files I have to configure, or just one? Also, how would I setup mail boxes?

I am sorry if I am asking too many questions, but this is my first REAL server I will setup. (The others were Cobalts).

If you can shoot me to any tutorials, that would be awesome too!

Thanks In Advance!
