Help with making a web server
|

| Hello,
I am starting a local web hosting company and I need to build a server for my datacenter.
I have a few questions to ask
1. What OS should I use?
2. What version of Apache/PHP/mySQL should I use?
3. Should I download and install them seperately or use an all in one package? (ex., Apache2Triad.net)
4. What firewall software should I use?
5. Any other things I'm forgetting?
Thank you!

| well I'm using windows 98, and just depending on router firewall.
Well its better to get stuff separtly and do them yourself, since some stuff may have a flaw in it.
I recommend, a OS that is safe, like red hat.
Apache 2xx
Php latest, unless phpbb then 4 (latest version)
mysql 4.1
If you want all in one, but i do not recommend, only if your lazy like me :P
I dunno about firewall, but I'm using f-secure and zone alarm suite.
Anti virus, you need, yesterday i got 200 viruses for not using one  |
