What should I do to run Salix as server?

Post by Z0K4 »

Greetings Salixers and Slackers! I'm using Salix for about 2-3 months now, and I must say it's the coolest OS I've ever used! It suits all my needs for desktop OS. Now I've decided to make my own website and use Salix as OS for server! Can someone tell which packages should I install to make this as less painful as it can be! Oh and if I choose minimal install, and try installing a desired package will it pull the dependencies automatically or I'd have to install dependencies manually?
Thank you in advance! Cheers ;)

Install httpd (apache) and php.

Code: Select all

slapt-get -i httpd php
And look at here

"Obtain a DNS domain" and create one with a dynamic dns provider (e.g. dyndns.org)
Port forward tcp port 80 using your router interface, so outside world can reach your server.

djemos, thank you for your reply! One more question for you: In minimal install will salix pull necessary dependencies automatically or I should have Sourcery and Gslapt installed with GUI to enable that?
Cheers. ;)

slapt-get will pull all necessary dependencies automatically
gslapt the gui tool will do the same also.
It is more quick for me to just open a xterm and type as root slapt-get -i package-name. Choose what is best for you.
