web server setup VPS
I've registered a new domain name and 'hired' a Virtual Private Server (not managed) to host it. I know 'some things' in php and web design but I'm newbie with configuring servers (especially remotely on a Linux server.... )...
This is what I've done so far :
1. registered domain name at namecheap.com and set up DNS there (my VPS server names)
2. I've installed Linux Ubuntu 8.04 on my VPS
3. I've downloaded and installed XAMPP 1.7.1 on my VPS
I've registered my domain name yesterday and it is still 'invisible' when I type in the address... BUT when I type in my VPS's IP address, the XAMPP welcome screen appears (MySql isn't running though...).
I know this is a child's play for a Linux expert, please if someone knows a good tutorial, step-by-step guide on how do I set up everything to work properly....
THANK You very much guys, I cannot solve this without Your support!
Regards
Victor
