After a long (LONG!!!!) battle I’ve finally managed to set-up my WordPress server. These are the first tentative steps. Bit by bit I will migrate the “old” RapidWeaver site to here. Currently the site is only visible under www.erlewein.de. The other sites (www.erlewein.org and www.erlewein.net) remain on the original blog. Once all work is done these will be migrated accross.
Thanks all for being so patient but I’ve been spending my time with Apache VirtualHosts, cpu clock timings, AppArmor and other fun things to get this server going. I learned a lot but all this is definitely not the easiest of thigs.
What is quite interesting is the set-up. I’m running all this on Ubuntu 8.04.1, a 1.8Ghz Pentium P4 with 512kb RAM and a 8GB USB stick as a hard drive. All this in a nice li’ll DMZ. The advantage is that this set-up uses very little power and is absolutely quiet. I activated the correct CPU speedstep scaling for the P4 and it now runs on 225Mhz most of the time saving HEAPS of electricity.
