server configuration for XenForo

[Slavik]

Never said it would with Debian, said it would play nice on Centos

And, probably got some case issues there, but typing it from memory, they wont be far off.

​

I have a choice between debian 6 (ok for Percona).​

centos 5 & 6. (ok for Percona)​

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.9. (ok for Percona).​

​

I am looking for an OS that will protect me (at best) against the DDoS attack (ipban,failtoban).​

​

I will not be changing "kernel" later, when my forum is in line with the server.​

​

I want a good start​

​

 

[TPerry]

An OS alone is not going to do that much agains a DDoS attack. There are other solutions for that.

 

[14DH01]

Anyway I'm in test mode I'll try centos and debian 6
Once I'm comfortable in the server settings, I'll choose my bones that facilitate adjustments parameters.

yum is just like apt,

Add the repository, manually or via RPM: "rpm -Uhv http://www.percona.com/downloads/percona-release/percona-release-0.0-1.x86_64.rpm"

Then install percona: "yum install percona-server-client-55 percona-server-server-55"

Then start mysql

/etc/init.d/mysqld start

Secure the install and done.

Debain is the way forward, but you're going to need to wait for Percona to update to Debain Wheezy (Debian 7) as it was only released a few days ago. People need to catch up.

Percona works just fine on Debian 6 (also known as Debian Squeeze). If you have a choice between OS's, I can easily setup a LAMP server (Apache, Percona, php) without any issues.

Debian uses fewer resources than CentOS, out of the box. A minimal install before adding anything uses about 1 1/2 MB of Ram. After installing everything, you'd be using only about 10 - 15 MB of Ram. With next to zero cpu load.

Even with a tweaked copy of CentOS .... I've never seen it get close to a Debian install.

​

yes I subscribed to her thread ​

I will also annoy Adam

​

Don't recall any communication between us, but I'd be happy to help

 

[14DH01]

if by "MP" to see the config server ​

I will continue with centos yet by then "Perconna" will perhaps be available for debian7​

Yes, I recall now.... You wanted my opinion on if the basic hardware would be enough to run a server for XenForo. I stand by my original answer, yes.

That is for Percona XtraBackup and not Percona MySQL. Their MySQL alternative is still in testing for Debian 7 Wheezy. It's not been yet released to stable.

It's why you'll find no documentation about it here
