Gabriel Petrelli Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I just purchased a VPS and I'm lost on what to do. It's unmanaged, my only choice since I don't got a lot of money to work with. Here's what I installed so far: Debian 5.0 Linux OS Webmin Apache PHP MySQL GD Webalizer Dovcot Postfix SquirrelMail APF Firewall BFD (Brute Force Detection) ProFTPD ClamAV + ClamDaemon I have no idea how to configure these or what the appropriate settings are. I know that I want everything to be secure and fast, and also plan on installing the following: Xcache Memcache Apache MPM Worker Sphinx Here's my post on Taz for a better idea what I want to do besides prepping it for IPB3:http://www.theadminz...ead.php?t=71706 I was wondering if anyone could help me with setting it up, if I set up a user account for whoever decides to help me get everything I need installed and configured. Once everything is set up and properly configured I'll be able to manage it on my own from there. It would be preferred if someone can help who is familiar with managing Linux servers, specifically Debian. I need whoever decides to help to review anything for inconsistencies, properly configure everything for maximum security, low resource usage and speed. I am quite confused right now, quite different from the shared hosting I'm use to so I would greatly appreciate the help if anyone is willing to oblige.

It can be a resource hog that would make McAfee or Symantec products look light weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Petrelli Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 What would you suggest that works just as well or better than ClamAV and is light weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter F. Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 While some info is specifically targeted at linode servers their library is a great resource for server admin info: http://library.linode.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
