I had a web server running for about a year. It’s not that difficult to set up, except for setting up email. I was using Postfix, and it was difficult to install. I finally bought a book on Postfix and figured it out. This was a great learning experience for me.
I’ve had so many problems trying to setup email servers. I’d love to see a good tutorial about setting up a web server with email capabilities form a tutorial site like NetTuts.
Have you been out to howtoforge.net? Great tutorials on different aspects of linux (and most popular flavors). Helped me to get my postfix setup running with Zarafa back-end (although admittedly, I pieced that part together from a few different sources.)
Yup. I’ve tried following the howtoforge.net tutorials. I think one of my problems is I like things to be as light weight as possible so I prefer not to install all the control panels they suggest. So towards the configuration steps I usually get lost since I don’t have everything installed they do.
Isn’t this just a more in-depth version of the Ubuntu server article?
First.
Clearly not, and what a waste of a post.
Thanks NetTuts+ team for pointing this one out to me :) I’ll be sure to look into it.
Wow. My post is number 6!! Omg!! I can’t believe it!!
HA HA! I can just see you typing “F i r s t” with a big smile on you face and all the while someone else is about to submit their comment. Funny.
I must say, after quick overview of this eBook, that this is totally the wrong solution of successful Web server.
First of all, Fedora is not at all good for stability, I have chosen FreeBSD or Debian.
Second failure, he is running the server with GUI, which has much less stability.
Third failure, no Virtual Domain support, no php,ror,sql.
This encourages me to write good tutorial how to set up stable Web Server with FreeBSD, Webmin and Apache here on NetTuts+.
Supporting PHP, Python, Ruby on Rails, MySQL, PEAR and some other great programing languages.
I would love to learn from them if you ever did.
Nice Books, Thanks for sharing
Why do you need even the phone number to get the ebook ?
MYSQL 4.1??
I am running ubuntu server at home for a long time…
For normal users, this is more than enough to learn how to setup a server:

Thanks for this awesome freebie – and also thanks to sitepoint for creating this book. I’ve been wanting to do this for a while so i can start testing my own apps in my own home environment
This “preview” was mostly fluff – the potentially useful info is outside chapter 1-4 which is not included in the preview.
