Well as soon as the Spring semester is over, I will do some maintenance on the dedicated server hosted by Centauri Communications.
Here’s a couple of things I need to do (Some of which probably requires Josh’s techs to do).
- Repartition the HDD – Right now, the /usr/local has over 150GB while /home and /var/www/html has only round 20GB each. I mean come on! Why was it like that, /home should either be the largest partition…anyway, I still don’t know how to figure out the partitions if /home will be the largest or should I divide it between the /var/www/html directory.
- Clean the system – There’s a couple of ‘stuff’ I need to remove in the system…nothing really critical, just some garbage.
- Upload the server backups – Yep, I need to upload the back ups there since I will be reformatting my desktop computer too.
- Run the PGN Portal in its own separate user account – This I haven’t figured out as well. Hehehe. But I’m reading about Virtualmin (Module for Webmin) and it looks like it’ll be the answer to my problem. Because what I’d like to happen is the PGN portal runs off the www.JoinPGN.com domain, and then when I add new users, they’ll have like a separate website domain that says…www.JoinPGN.com/~username. Something like that, this way I will be able to help those clans out there who need a bit of webhosting (I can probably help them out too with their game server needs as long as they’re a west coast clan/community.
- Install FTP – This goes with the ~username subdomains for every new user so if I ever want to make new game servers, it’ll be under a new username…and then they can have ftp access to it. That way I don’t have to give out shell access ever.
I think the most important part right now is determining if Virtualmin will solve my problems.
