If I can do it in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I will be able to do it in others System too. I choose Enterprise Linux. At first, What should I do? Will you stay here for a few hours to help?

Yes. Centos uses the same source code as RHEL but just rebranded.
I suspect you are using RHEL for the support?
Just ask what you need doing.
Install and configure Web Server for Web Hosting in RHEL. Please give me the step of instruction. I have to learn it. I will leave for 1 hour. I hope to see you all when I'm back. Thanks everyone for your help.
Unless you are paying RH for the support there is no need use it. You would not get updates and upgrades. Security updates are important to keep your machine safe. You should go for CentOS in case you are looking for RH compatible. It uses same code as RHEL but logos are removed.
Most of the distributions on server line would do what others can but the method may be different. Like installing packages. RH uses rpm while debian will use deb.
In RH you have yum for package management while in debian you have apt.

Hi, back again, and as you can see, you were not left alone. That's what's great about LinuxQuestions.org; there's always someone around.
To run a new Web Server. Where is the starting point?
Just like linuxlover.chaitanya pointed out I imagine you prefer RHEL for the support (paying). Like the other users stated CentOS is exactly the same as RHEL, so if you're not in it for the support download the CentOS iso, burn it to CD/DVD and perform the install.
You will get help here, of that I'm certain. But you'll have to do the work .
First you'll have to make a choice what distro you will use. Then download an image of that distro and burn it to CD.
Kind regards,
Eric
I think there's a lack of understanding here, as to what the exact problem is.
Eric has given you a starting point, as quoted above. Did you decide what distro you'll use? And further, have you downloaded it, burned it to a medium, and installed it?
As well, centosboy has given a few good suggestions below, to consider when deciding how to next proceed.
Most (almost all) Linux distros include httpd (the Apache webserver) and PHP and several other common web administrating tools & packages.
Also, you may wish to remove your email address from post#10 unless you want to get a lot pf SPAM in your mailbox.

Sasha

Reason: added info.
Yes but may be it is just my lucky day. Well, Eric, where should I start?
determine how busy your website will be and which applications are to run with it. will it connect to a database backend? will you run perl apps within or php, ruby, java etc etc.
You have to know what will run on your webserver before implementing it.
You need to know how busy it will be (how many visitors etc etc).
Will it be a virtual hosting server or hosting just one site?
Will it be doing proxying or load balancing??
These need to be known first before you can decide on which webserver you wish to install and use.
Now I have only RHEL DVD. I will download CentOS DVD later because It will take hours. I think if I can do it on RHEL. I will be able to do it on CentOS, won't I?
The basic requirement I need are:
* PHP and MySQL
* A Web Server which I can create web hosting account just like cPanel(Whatever because cPanel is too expensive). Let call shared hosting
* I don't understand about "doing proxying or loadbalancing"
* It should include Web Hosting Control Panel
If you have the RHEL DVD at hand then you can start from that one of course. Later on you can redo everything using the CentOS. That would already be a very good practice. I'm not sure about all the differences between RHEL and CentOS but someone else can point that out perfectly.
You might also want to have a look at the HowToforge website as indicated by centosboy Howtoforge.com. They have some great step by step guides.
Basically it looks to me that you just need a LAMP server, that is Linux Apache MySQL and PHP server, additionally with a control panel like ISPConfig.
It is so messy. I don't know where to start. I used to search on google but the instruction is very old, old Linux system. So I decide to join here ask for recently technique.
