Comments on The Perfect Server - CentOS 5.5 x86_64 [ISPConfig 2]

The Perfect Server - CentOS 5.5 x86_64 [ISPConfig 2] This tutorial shows how to set up a CentOS 5.5 server (x86_64) that offers all services needed by ISPs and web hosters: Apache web server (SSL-capable), Postfix mail server with SMTP-AUTH and TLS, BIND DNS server, Proftpd FTP server, MySQL server, Dovecot POP3/IMAP, Quota, Firewall, etc. This tutorial is written for the 64-bit version of CentOS 5.5, but should apply to the 32-bit version with very little modifications as well. In the end you should have a system that works reliably, and if you like you can install the free webhosting control panel ISPConfig (i.e., ISPConfig runs on it out of the box).

Hi Falco,

I'm trying this out for the first time so I'm not sure of a lot of things and the first pit-fall I have found is the DNS stuff. I just don't understand if its for the box, the LAN or WAN so I used the Google public dns, used my router IP and 192.168.0.10 for the box.

I've been setting up windows networks, building windows PC's and developing websites on Linux for over 15 years. I have a degree in computing from a top uni and I still don't get how this all works!

If you can add a link for setting up DNS settings and/or edit to say what the defaults should be for a novice I think that would be a huge help at this stage.

Thanks for all the help with this.

Dave.
