This is my first VPS which I'm currently learning how to work with. I don't have cPanel and am wondering how I'd go about using Putty to connect to my VPS, setting up a MySQL database and installing Kloxo.

My only website experience is with cPanel on a shared host to run Wordpress, so I'm completely new to all of this. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would be tremendously grateful. Thanks.

if you only know cpanel i really would suggest you stick with cpanel

kloxo is not the easiest to get going and its often true that once you work with cpanel, nothing else quite compares

start with a cpanel template and work from there

the question you should be looking to anwser is what is it that i need from a vps that shared hosting or reseller hosting (or any other kind of hosting) cant do for me? you really should have an anwser for that otherwise its probably cheaper and easier for you to find another solution (such as a different shared provider etc) usual answers to this are, my site gets too much traffic for my hoster to cope with or i need x functionaility (eg memcache) and my hosting provider wont install it (99% never will)

it would make your vps hosting experience a lot easier if you contact anthony (above) and have him set up a cpanel server for you.

Alright so far I got ISPmanager up but I'm having DNS issues. What fields need to be set up in the vps.net control panel? I pointed my domain to the IP and set it up on ISPmanager as well. Any suggestions on what to double check?

[anthonysomerset]

changed your nameservers at your domain registrar to dns1.vps.net and dns2.vps.net?

Yep.

[anthonysomerset]

how long since you changed them

depending on your local ISP (eg your internet connection) it may take anything up to 48 hours for you to see a change

specifically what problem are you seeing?

[Sroek]

It hasn't been 48 hours yet.

The problem I'm seeing though is that even the IP address of my site draws shows the following (I X'd out the IP), so I'm guessing it has to do with more than just DNS?:

"Not Found

The requested URL / was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Server at XXX.XXX.XX.XXX Port 80"

The domain name itself brings up nothing at all, not even a 404.

[anthonysomerset]

have you set up the www domain in ispmanager?

and have you uploaded content?

it wont 404 unless you specifically request a file or folder

[Sroek]

Yeah I've uploaded content and set up the www domain. Could I be provided an example of how it should look in ISPmanager and the DNS control panel at VPS.net please? Thanks.

you uploaded content to the "right" www directory? its best to upload as the relevant user with access permissions to the www directory (hint create the www account before creating the domain as it creates an ftp account to use)

if you provide the domain i can help much more easily
dns should look like(IP should be same as your vps server though):

[Sroek]

Ok I just I got it to work. I had to enable the user account and its www directories in the user management in ISPmanager. Thanks.

one of the many "quirks" of getting ispmanager to work...

Heh, yeah.

[anthonysomerset]

virtualmin can be a pain to setup but at least it does just work as it should once its all setup properly

thats a better free control panel in my opinion

would love to see vps.net release a virtualmin GPL image thats correctly setup and good to go (based on debian or centos)

Yeah, I might switch to either Kloxo or Virtualmin if I keep running into problems. Right now I'm trying to setup a MySQL server on ISPmanager, but the following message appears: "Error: Internal error Can't connect to database"

What could be the issue?

Edit: Just realized the MySQL application in ISPmanager is labeled as uninstalled, but when I attempt to install it, it says it's already been installed. I then tried enabling it but it won't switch on. It's also an outdated version (5.0.77)

[anthonysomerset]

you on debian or centos?

make sure its installed on the system via ssh as well and then try restarting ispmanager

kilall ispmgr will kill it and restart it

[Sroek]

The admins at ISPmanager just told me that when the control panel is trying to enable MySQL, the password is wrong. How do I know what the password is? I think the MySQL server was created automatically when I created my VPS.

I'm using CentOS btw

Edit: I guess I'll just reinstall MySQL. Any instructions on how to do it on CentOS 5.5?
