Vinno.net Linux has never tasted better.

Most my articles on installing Linux applications will be on my experience with Ubuntu Linux, you can still follow the articles as a reference if your using another Linux distribution. Just the install paths will be different sometimes.

Legends:

cp sample.conf mysite.conf

When you see this color, commands need to be typed in console.

Status="On"

When you see this color, this is when editing the text in configuration files.

Make sure you have the build-essentials needed for most compiling from source. For Ubuntu users, simple case of:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Some console command references:
• sudo This is the Ubuntu Linux way of running a command as root (for others, try "su -" to become root)
• sudo apt-get install Ubuntu and Debian package system
• mkdir Creates a directory
• cp Copy directory/files
• mv Move directory/files
• nano Text based console editor, See nano for more info. (Also nano is a clone for pico, so if you dont have nano installed by default then see if you have pico installed.)

Nano is the text editor I like to use to edit configuration files, you can use any you text editor you want when it comes to editing configuration files.

I myself am using Apache 2, PHP 5 and MySQL 5 as a home server. So when linux applications refer to them on this site, you will know what version I'm relating to :)

If I'm missing anything let me know.
