ok, so you want to start your own web hosting server.

This tutorial is brought to you free by : Webune.com Hosting

well, if you want to start, here is a good one i did today to play around. you must be logged in as root for this to work.

steps:

1. get a copy of Linux Debian (i am using Debian Sarge 3.1)

2. Followed these installation steps [click here start installing debian]

3. CONTINUE TO Followed these installation steps [click here to install debian step 2]

4. Setup your network [click here to setup network IP]

5. Setup your names server (if you have to) [click here to set nameservers]

6. Set your server's hostname [click here to set hostname]

update your ap-get

apt-get -f install

say yes to prompts:
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y

Do you wish to restart services? [Y/n] y

Otherwise, you might this error:

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kernel-image-2.4.27-2-386: Depends: initrd-tools (>= 0.1.48) but it is not going to be installed
ssh: Depends: openssh-client but it is not going to be installed
Depends: openssh-server but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

7. now send to command so your sendmail won't fail:

apt-get install rmail

Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y

8. Download the .deb from mikro-data.net/products_and_services/webcp/webcp-0.5.7.deb or send commands:

cd /root

download to root directory

wget http://www.mikro-data.net/products_and_services/webcp/webcp-0.5.7.deb

9. Run Command:

apt-get install apache
apt-get install libapache-mod-php4
apt-get install libapache-mod-ssl
apt-get install ca-certificates
apt-get install ipopd
apt-get install mysql-server-4.1
apt-get install php4-cli
apt-get install php4-curl
apt-get install php4-imap
apt-get install php4-mcrypt
apt-get install php4-mhash
apt-get install php4-mysql
apt-get install php4-pear
apt-get install proftpd
apt-get install quota
apt-get install quotatool
apt-get install sasl2-bin
apt-get install sendmail-bin
apt-get install uw-imapd

OR RUN INSTALL ALL IN ONE COMMAND:

apt-get install apache libapache-mod-php4 libapache-mod-ssl ca-certificates ipopd mysql-server-4.1 php4-cli php4-curl php4-imap php4-mcrypt php4-mhash php4-mysql php4-pear proftpd quota quotatool sasl2-bin sendmail-bin uw-imapd

then you might see these prompts:
