Is there anyone who is good with linux web servers (in particular CentOS) both in properly configuring them (shoring up security issues, stability issues). As well as creating DNS entries, FTP access, setting up an email server with web access, basic stats, readying it for web use (CGI, PHP etc). Basically I have a VPS running CentOS with webmin that needs to be configured. Ive played with linux before but dont have the skill or passion to really set it up correctly. I did write the DNS entries only to have them wiped out when I had to reformat due to a security breach. Im not a business or anything just a guy with a few random domains to throw some pictures up on it and a few other random things. Im basically looking for someone to set it up for me and in exchange Id be willing to pay them a small fee.
To recap, looking for someone who can: (on a single server, multiple domains, single IP)
(1) Configure CentOS for webuse (correct any security and/or stability issues)
(2) Create DNS entires, configure to run as a webserver
(3) Install email server with webaccess client (squirrel mail or something like that, with web interface to add addresses, quotas etc)
(4) Install & configure FTP access, preferably with web interface to add users with varying access; if not basic root + general access account.
(5) Install & configure basic stats monitoring (referring URL, data usage, hits, etc)
(6) Configure Apache webserver & configure as necessary for web use to run CGI, PHP, etc
I have a friend that was going to do this for me in exchange for some photos of mine but hes been pretty busy with school and work (Oracle programmer). So, this is how it would play out (1) You configure the server as requested, make minor tweaks if necessary; (2) My friend (the programmer/UNIX guy) will look over your work along with myself to verify everything is up to par and operational; (3) I will paypal or send you a MO for ~$75-150 depending on how well everything was setup.
If youre interested send me a PM(email doesnt work no email server) with (1) a brief summary of your experience, (2) a brief list of applications you plan on using, (3) expected time to complete, (4) your fee expectation. I dont care if youre 12 or 85 years old as long as you know your stuff.
Thank you for your time.
