on Jun 1st, 2007New Webserver
I just got done migrating all my sites to a new Debian Etch server. The older CentOS server only had 1 gig of ram and used Cpanel for management. My main reasoning for switching servers was cpanel. I host a handful of Rails sites and Cpanel only supports Apache 1.3 which really held me back with what I could do with my Rails sites. The new server has 2 gigs of ram and I’m using webmin for management. It was a huge learning curve setting up everything myself without Cpanel holding my hand. Bind9 and DNS was especially challenging. I think I finally got everything figured out though!
Just a correction: cPanel/WHM supports Apache 2.2, 2.0 and 1.3 as well as Ruby on Rails.
David, thanks for the update. Did this just recently get released as stable? I know the beta/edge version had apache 2 support, but I never could get it working and ran into all kinds of issues.
