Setting Up Webserver using Ubuntu 10.04 [part 2]

10. Now you have to partition your hard disk. For simplicity's sake I select Guided - use entire disk - if you know what you're doing, you can also set up your partitions manually).

note : i always use guided - use entire disk [without to setup any LVM] I'll tell you why later in the other post. :)

11.Select the disk that you want to partition.

13.When you're finished, hit Yes when you're asked Write the changes to disks?

14.Afterwards, your new partitions are being created and formatted.

15. Now the base system is being installed.

16.Create a user, for example the user dzul with the user name dzul (don't use the user name admin as it is a reserved name on Ubuntu 10.04) and you'll be asked to make a password for that user. Enter your desire password with strong combination of chars. :)

17. I don't need an encrypted private directory, so I choose No here.

18. Next the package manager apt gets configured. Leave the HTTP proxy line empty unless you're using a proxy server to connect to the Internet. In my case, i have no proxy server to get online. By the way, apt-get is a package manager for ubuntu.

18. I like to update my package manually due to contraints of my apps, therefore I select No automatic updates. Of course, it's up to you what you select here. If you're lazy enough, then select automatic update.

19. I just need a LAMP Serevr and OpenSSH Server. Then continue.

20. Then installation continue, and prompting you a password for you to administer your mysql dabatase. Enter your password and continue.

21. The last past is just to get your installation complete by setting up GRUB bootloader.Select Yes when you are asked Install the GRUB boot loader to the master boot record?

22. If somehow it fail, go to plan B and try to use older boot loader which LILO. LILO is never fail, trust me but it loads more memory for booting up your machine.

23. The base system installation is now finished. Remove the installation CD from the CD drive and hit Continue to reboot the system.

Now you have successfully installed webserver using ubuntu 10.04. It's a ready to get online now, but i recommend to make some hardening first and do a post-installation configuration. Continue your reading to part 3 of this tutorial...
