Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Dedicated Server : Mixing Control Panels Question

[Arber]

I want to use a hosting control panel + host a solusvm (no virtulization panel) on the same server. Which control panels can I do this with?

[PCS-Chris]

None, it's a very bad idea.

Instead you should install SolusVM on the server, and if you want to do hosting with another control panel you should do this inside a VPS.

I dont want to host a solusvm virtual server. I just want to host my main site + solusvm enterprise with no virtulization(so I can link all my servers to it)

Still not a good idea. At the least the SolusVM master node should be hosted on its own VPS. There are too many services that would likely conflict and cause problems.

So it isnt possible? Their running on different ports though

I am sure you could do it, but it is not a good idea at all. You will likely be mixing httpds depending on the control panel you pick. It's really not that complicated to give SolusVM master its own environment.

No No No.

Some madman will probably tell you it can be done with some crazy tweaking but don't even try it. I am not getting why you want to do that.

What you really should be doing is run Solusvm on the node then within it create a vps running your website. This website can link back to the node as if it is a separate server (which it is from a OS/virtualization perspective) for things like setting up vps automatically, suspend etc.. Based on your question though I would hire an experienced admin to help you.

[PCS-Chris]

If you do it, don't expect to recieve any support from SolusVM. It's not possible to support you when you have multiple control panels, which will likely cause package conflicts among other issues.

If this is a dedicated server, split it into two VPS. You dont need a control panel for the VPS themselves, use 1 VPS for your main website and the other VPS for your SolusVM Master. This is a quick job for an experienced admin if you are not farmiliar doing this yourself.

sounds complex and may not work. Too many unknowns. Besides, more control panels would utilise more RAM.

I'd still keep them separate. Personally I'd install Linux-Vserver, and install the two control panels on two separate vservers. You wouldn't notice much of a difference as Vserver has negligible overheads.

Isn't SolusVM used for managing VPSes though? If you install SolusVM with no virtualisation, what would you use it for?
