This would work:

/boot 250MB
Swap 16GB
/ Put rest space

getvps

You need to think this /boot 250MB, /swap 2GB , / (50-100GB system&dbs) , /home (all other space if you host here users file)

Yes. I think you don't have RAID ? If you don't have RAID, I/O is also good.

kamal

Yes there is no Raid only one TB Sata HDD, another question I have manually configured LAMP setup..

What permission should I have on the www folder ..

FlamesRunner

@kamal, if you're hosting multiple users, I suggest you use something similar to 'apache2-mpm-itk'. Virtual hosts can then be configured to run user scripts as them. Then, set permissions on your www directory to 771.

kamal

Oh thank you for your reply, I have more than 7 manually configured Virtual hosts so I can now just adjust the permission to 771 ?

Also I have SSL for one of the domain
without using the .htaccess
I added the following to the virtual host configuration

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

The problem with the redirection is that it's being redirected to double // what should I do to properly redirect the domain from non www to www along with the https

I would recommend you to go with centminmod in case you can't understand these things.

kamal

Thank you very much for your reply, I have Ubuntu and Apache 2.4 manually configured, do you think it would be wise to switch to CentOS and then use the centminmod as you suggested ?

Yes, for now.

getvps

I want to recommend you to use VESTA (vestacp.com) , is free and easy to install .. this can help you a lot ..

If you are happy with configuring everything manually and it works, why not stick with it? It's a great learning experience, even if you plan to change to a control panel in the future.

Or you can use Centos web control panel . You can even restore cPanel backups.

kamal

Thank you all for your great replies, I have chosen centminmod and it seems to work fine untill now
