I was contracted to make a groupon-clone website for my client. It was done in PHP with MYSQL and I plan to host it on an Amazon EC2 server. My client warned me that he will be email blasting to about 10k customers so my site needs to be able to handle that surge of clicks from those emails. I have two questions:
1) Which Amazon server instance should I choose?
Hello,
I am interested in signing up to the Amazon EC2 service with EBS. I have never used a unmanaged vps before, but I know how to use the command line etc.
There are some basic packs on there to use, with basic LAMP stacks. But I would like to ask about how do I:
Upgrade a lamp stack? - someone mentioned yum, but what is this? how easy is it to use? is it enough?
secure the lamp stack?
Want to move our team over from one server that hosts development environments for a bunch of websites to something more flexible and powerful.
What are your opinions on the best way to approach the following:
Host multiple LAMP based websites in different states of development (from mostly dormant to daily active).
I'm reviewing the security groups on my EC2 Ubuntu instance that runs a public website on LAMP. Presently my ports are as follows:
22 (SSH) 0.0.0.0/0
80 (HTTP) 0.0.0.0/0
443 (HTTPS) 0.0.0.0/0
3306 (MYSQL) 0.0.0.0/0
I'm thinking it should be possible to tighten up a bit on the mysql port as the connections are only made locally. Any insights are welcome.
I'm a software/web developer and for the first time I have to set up a cloud system to host one of the websites I have coded. I found very difficult to estimate the costs for an Amazon EC2 cloud system using the provided calculator.
So basically, is LAMP strictly for development purposes or is it fine for production websites as well? I ask this because I have recently switched to Ubuntu from Windows and if WAMP is anything like LAMP, it is more aimed towards development than production (live) websites.
Does the same apply for LAMP? I wish to run a small website on Ubuntu and I'm wondering if LAMP is secure enough.
I have one Linux LAMP webserver (Ubuntu) with some websites on it.
They all run within the same apache2 instance and are accessible by different vhosts.
Most of them are run by myself, but I also have some friends websites hosted there.
I want and use to have separate user accounts for different websites to manage files, cronjobs etc.
The webserver runs as www-data.
Now most of the files/dire
I am planning to set up a server hosting multiple websites on a single high-end Linux server on Virtualization-enabled Hardware using a LAMP stack.
I have decided to go with Centos 6.2 as a KVM host with two Virtual Machines running on top of it, of similar Centos Version.
One to act a Web Server and other act as a MySQL database server.
I'm working with some third-party developers and I would like to grant SFTP (or FTP) access to the root folder for a website they're working on i.e. '/var/www/html/website_abc' so that they could upload the files there. Note that I'm hosting my other websites there on the same EC2 instance e.g.
