debian librairies install AND xbt trouble connection refused
#20

Quote:My vps is UNmanaged ! my host helped me on a few stuff, and then, they told me, they had to stop on helping me,

Because seems their boss do not agree they spend time for free on helping people,

AND to manage my vps for me, they would have to charge me a 200$ !!!

 

Do you believe it ?? its amazing, right ?
Well, if you're paying for an unmanaged VPS then they expect you to take ownership and control of it. The fact you got some free admin means you're still up.

 

When I manage servers, many people who had websites hosted on them also expected me to perform support and maintanence, not realising it was THEIR content - they were only paying for me to hold it there, not for me to monitor it also.

Quote:You told me to do some test, so you mean use xamp and make a local install , right ?
Or build a Debian server that closely matches the configuration of your VPS and try it out on there.

 

I sense you're trying to manage a server without knowing anything about server management. Think about the skillset you have: would you let someone maintain your code without any of the programming skills you have? The safest bet is - for what you want - is to try and replicate it yourself in a test environment (at home, etc) so then you know how to do it out there on the web. This isn't all that different to your programming environment: do you code a website whilst it's internet-connected, or do you create some offline testbed that you can code upon before releasing it live?

 

Now, if you DO decide to build yourself a test Debian setup that mirrors your VPN, you'll find many guides that should walk you through many things. But I'm afraid what you're after trying to acheive isn't going to be a simple idiot-proof task which you can then forget about: owning and running an Internet-connected server is quite a responsibility, and judging by the number of trojan attempts at my server there are plenty of naive server owners out there that have very little knowledge of what server administration is all about, and as a result their machines are acting as part of a botnet, or as spam relay clients for fraudsters.

 

You do NOT want to be in THAT position!
