So, like, I signed on with a new hosting company...
... and there was absolutely nothing installed except fedora and ssh. I used yum to install vsftp and httpd, both start and ps shows they're running, and yet I can't connect with either of them. Where on earth or in redhat do I begin looking to unravel this one? I've overseen a server before but they were always set up and working as a web server when I began. This is a value package so I don't expect much support from the host company - tho what they did for their set up fee I'm not sure. Anyway, I'm semi-competant but by no means an expert, so all guidance is welcome here.
I set up one user and can connect as root and as that user using ssh, and transfer files using the ssh file transfer interface (I assume scp will work too).
While I'm here, how does one go about changing the name of a server? I mean, when I log in, the prompt is user@ip address> Can that be changed or altered to have the name instead of the ip?
Oh, is it better to install httpd first and then things like perl and php, or the other way around, or does it matter?
Thanks for your insights.
