How to set up a client on a server by hand ??
I've have heard of lost of people who have dumped their CP's and who set everything up by hand !
Some install that free admin program but some actually edit all the files by hand,
The thing is that I have decided to try and make some scripts that do what I need and nothing else but to make a script that does this I would first need to know what exactly fully what they need to do !
Could someone who knows how to do this try and give me step by step instructions?
This is what I will want to know how to do :
set up a directory with proftp so that the user can log in and upload the files,
Set up the DNS etc ...
setup the frontpage scripts for the account
create e.mail addresses by hand, set up mysql databases by hand and anything else that a CP can do...
ANy step by step instructions would be great or even sugestions to read certin books. I'm aiming at starting the programming in about 6 months time and have a finished project in a years time,
All this will be based on linux 7.2 or a later version if necessary when the time comes ...
Thanks for any suggestions ...
