VestaCP Installation and Configuration on Amazon Aws EC2
Web hosting servers installation and Configuration
- We have discussed in the previous post the requirements of
servers for web hosting. The servers remains the same for almost all type of web hosting
- The one application we have choice is the control panel it
is the application through which we manage the resources of our server in web
browser
- There are multiple options in selecting control panel.the
famous of them are cpanel , plesk, ISPConfig and Webmin the cpanel and plesk
are closed source and you have to buy license where as the ISPconfig and Webmin are open source and you can use them free of cost
- Here we would be using a newly trending VestaCP. It can be
considered as a child in the competition but after its study it full fill all
our needs and requirements it have a very user friendly interface and easy to
install and configure.
- Mostly, all the control panels install , all the required
server by themselves so instead of installing each server separately we will
install the panel. And it would make the installations for the server
applications
- The installation of VestaCP is described on there home
page(https://vestacp.com/) you can access through the url as below.
ssh root@your.server# Download installation scriptcurl -O http://vestacp.com/pub/vst-install.sh#
Run it bash
vst-install.sh
- Note the username and password in the terminal
- After the installation goto the Amazon aws management console
and add access to the instance on the port 8083
- Now the browser in url put your IP and port like this
xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:8083
- Enter your login username and password the username remains
admin unless you globally change and if you have provided the password the that
would be used otherwise in your terminal it would be shown in the end
- After login go to firewall and note all the ports with
protocol.
- As you have noted the ports in firewall the next step is
again go to amazon aws management console and give access to all the noted
ports with protocol
- Now our web hosting server is ready for further configuration
