Making a Linux Server Part 1

[drakenlordofpain]

Computer Whiz my ass, you use a mac. Who are you trying to fool. I bet you don't even know what a transistor is.

[CollegialResemblance]

why is you so southern, but thanks anyway

[muffemod]

waste of time, just go to part2

[aleclitvinov]

1) thanks for the video

2) Could you please resize your terminal and maybe set a larger font next time? You've got a beautiful motherboard but that's not what everyone expects to see in the vid)))

3) Arch installation is imho not about blank fields and autoprepare drives. A basic guide on rc.conf, rc.sysinit and inittab would be helpful for many.

4) Arch-based system is imho not suitable for a web server. It may prove not stable enough.

wow man, you can use a wizard!!!!!!!!!! leet

[aleclitvinov]

@sg86sg wizards take away your freedom to tune your system for your needs. They are the opposite to the Arch way. I had a terrible day last week installing Sabayon 7 with their wizard and then trying to get rid of software RAID I hadn't asked for. If you like choices made for you, install Ubuntu or even Windows. They have wizards.

I have a question can you use Linux servers to hold Windows and Mac files?

[c0mputerwhiz1]

@DOW234SP yes the file type is irrelevant as long as the client trying to access the file has the correct program to open it.

where can I get your wallpaper? :D

[fcarreiro]

hey computer whiz after i create a Linux server how do i create game servers?

[c0mputerwhiz1]

@fcarreiro generally speaking there is no reason to follow this tutorial to get a game server. For most games, all you need to do is have any distro of linux installed and run the server client for that game (will be provided by the developers if available, not all games have servers)

[fcarreiro]

@c0mputerwhiz1 i Have a PC windows is there anyway of me creating a game server? i tryed to open router ports but i doesnt work i don't know why...

[c0mputerwhiz1]

@fcarreiro i'm not going to be much help here, sorry. Your going to have to download the correct server client, and set your router/firewall settings to get everything to work. You should be able to find most of this information on the website for the game you are trying to run a server for. Also google around and see what other people have done. Best thing to do is to learn from other peoples mistakes.

[fcarreiro]

@c0mputerwhiz1 i have been searching for 2 years... Only thing that works for people is to open router ports but i cant open mine..

[vallhalla80]

Thank you for the fast responce. please keep up the good work

[vallhalla80]

Hell there firstly very nice video. Second I would love to know 2 things, What did you use to do the screen capture? Also what did you use to display the keys used on screen?

[c0mputerwhiz1]

@vallhalla80 I used a program called iShowU HD. It does both the screen capture as well as displaying the keys on the screen.

[Xequal1]

Is there anyway to create a LVM on a CentOS Server?

[War3Hog101]

just use opera = opera unite is awsome

[Jamieduk999]

i want / need a command line way of doiun this and i also need to make it run on localhost:2010 not :80 as my isp blocks 80 traffic from my server any ideas?

[c0mputerwhiz1]

@Jamieduk999 As of right now, I would suggest using Ubuntu Server. It is a command line only, and will allow you to install everything you need for a server when you install ubuntu. (I might make a tutorial on this later) As for the ports: I think that is in the apache config under '/etc/apache2/'.

I might be wrong about some of that, but it should be a good place to start, also there is a great tutorial on how to set up ubuntu server from the ubuntu.com website.

[ChristRaper666]

Overall, this is a decent tutorial I suppose. You missed a key few things, especially since this is supposed to be a "server" install.

First of all, I would definitely take more care on partitioning my drive and have a bit of seperation between stuff like root, home, tmp, etc.

Also, the config system part is fairly sketchy. You really want to be editing a lot more of those files than you actually are if you plan on running a stable server.

[macintshhintz]

does this work for mac to be cos i wanted a server that every one can play with out me need to be in it ?? if thats possible could you help me ??:)

[c0mputerwhiz1]

@macintshhintz I think you are referring to a game server. These are a completely different animal. While they have a lot in common technology wise there are usually specific programs that you have to run for a dedicated gaming server. These programs are usually provided by the developers of the games.

[macintshhintz]

@c0mputerwhiz1 ok thanks

[cusinndzl]

I prefer Ubuntu Server for a webserver.
