This app will be a quoting system for in-house sales department for about 300 users. I could use some advice on server deployment and setup. I am in the early stages so I’d like to gather as much info as I can without being a pest, but I’ve found most admins are more than happy to help fellow admins out.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> My first dev box is a Dell PowerEdge 2850 (it had W2k3 Enterprise on it, blah!):<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> 2 – 3.0 Ghz Xeon CPU<o:p></o:p> 2 Gb ECC DDR2 Memory<o:p></o:p> 6 – 73Gb SCSI HDs<o:p></o:p> Controller Card Perc 4e/Di<o:p></o:p> <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Logical Drive</st1:address></st1:Street> 0: 2 – 73Gb Scsi RAID1 /dev/sda<o:p></o:p> <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Logical Drive</st1:address></st1:Street> 1: 4 – 73Gb Scsi RAID5 (the controller wont allow me to choose RAID1, only 5 or 0) /dev/sdb<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I installed Ubuntu LAMP install to /dev/sda just to see if all would run, hardware compatibility,etc and it works great. Now my question is what would be the recommended partition and OS install. OR should I just re-direct MySQL DBs, /srv/www, logs to /dev/sdb<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Thank you for helping in this project. I look to have 2 production servers and 2 dev servers, slowly replacing the 14 W2k3 servers we have now. Our owners are committed to open-source and so is my IT department and we are replacing .Net programmers with PHP freaks!!<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Thanks,<o:p></o:p> Bill <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <div> <div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'> <hr size=2 width="100%" align=center tabindex=-1> </div> From: ubuntu-server-bounces@lists.ubuntu.com [mailto:ubuntu-server-bounces@lists.ubuntu.com] On Behalf Of Bill Asher Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2006 2:06 PM To: <st1:PersonName w:st="on">ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com</st1:PersonName> Subject: LAMP Production Server - Dell 2850<o:p></o:p> </div> <o:p> </o:p> We are planning on rolling out an internal web application to LAMP. I’m at the point of choosing a Linux distro that will be stable and growing community. I am fimilar with Linux and mostly FreeBSD in a production environment.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I’m looking for encouragement to go with Ubuntu Server in our production app because I really like the distro and its outlook. Server admin, how has your experience been, should we go with Ubuntu and has anyone installed on Dell PowerEdge 2850s<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Thanks!!<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Bill<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> B.
