Step by step install wpmu in VDS / VPS : add domain

One of my client request for example of wpmu installed in a VDS / VPS server. Since I like FreeBSD I looking for cheap VDS / VPS that run FreeBSD as the operating system.

After googling for cheap vds that run freebsd I decide to use minivds. The plan is reasonable for my purpose, I can treat the server like dedicated server 🙂

Requirements :

Here the steps :

Account information, important information from minivds email is this part :

Services ——————————

SSH:
ngeblog.cn / 82.146.51.161
User: root
Password: abcdefghijk

PuTTY : http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ (FREE)

1. Access ispmanager from this address :

https://82.146.51.161/manager/ispmgr

Enter username and password above and hit Enter.

2. Add new user from Accounts Menu.

Click Users

Add new user

Click OK.

3. Add domain

Form Domains menu click WWW domains

click + picture to add new domain

Fill information around domain.

Click Ok to submit the information.

Till this step what we do are :

1. Adding user into vds system

2. Adding domain into vds system with php support

as result of these steps in httpd.conf inside of vds system is this part :

<VirtualHost 82.146.51.161:80>
ServerName ngeblog.cn
DocumentRoot /home/blog/data/www/ngeblog.cn
Group blog
User blog
CustomLog /home/httpd-logs/ngeblog.cn.access.log combined
ErrorLog /home/httpd-logs/ngeblog.cn.error.log
ServerAlias www.ngeblog.cn
ServerAdmin [email protected]
php_admin_value open_basedir “/home/blog/data:.”
php_admin_value sendmail_path “/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f [email protected]”
php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir “/home/blog/data/tmp”
php_admin_value session.save_path “/home/blog/data/tmp”
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .php5 .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
