Regular Pleskian
Hi,
I'm a Linux/Unix newbie. Played with Red Hat once or twice back in the late 90's but never in a web hosting enviroment.
I'm looking to install CentOS 5 64bit (some users recommend it) on my Dell PowerEdge 3250 server. Brief spec is 2 x 1.4GHZ Intel Itanium2 processors (400Mhz FSB with 4MB L3 Cache), 1GB Memory (256MB x 4), 2 x HP U320 SCSI 15K rpm 72GB HDD's, CD Rom Drive.
1. When installing the OS, to I need to install PHP, MySQL, Apache, FTP (of some kind), and a Firewall or does the Plesk installer do this for me??
2. Can Plesk handle 2 hard drives for storage? Instead of running RAID Mirror I plan to use both drives for storage and run some kind of back up script (no idea yet) to run a nightly back up to an external 2.5" usb hard drive.
Help please of mighty Plesk and Linux guru's
