This is my first linux install and I decided to go with Ubuntu bc I was told it was the easiest.
Im installing the Ubuntu 9.10 Server Platform PC from CD and going right along with the article "The Perfect Server - Ubuntu 9.10 Server" @
http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-9.10-ispconfig-3 (http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-9.10-ispconfig-3)
After installing the base system, I tried and had problems with the following:
1. Configuring the Network (Page 3) - The "primary network interface"
-This is elementary but can I make up any IP addresses for the address, netmask, network broadcast, and gateway? (As long as it's good practice, netmask 192.255.255.0).
-DO I need a website for this install? I intend on getting one in the future of course.
-Is ubuntu desktop installed with Ubuntu 9.10 Server? I know how to get it (sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop) but how do you get TO it?
-hostname -f does not show my server1.example.com.. is this a big problem? A fix?
2. Getting LAMP and all the goodies (Page 4)
-Don't I need to connect to the internet to get these?? (I have a comcast cable connection)
-If so, how do I connect to the internet in the command line? This is probably where the network setup comes in correct?
I haven't past this point because I need the proper network setup for everything to run smoothly.
Also, can I just SHUTDOWN and install from the cd again, and erase everything and start over?
Thank you
