Considerations for setting up a Web Server

[Amit Manna_6]

Hello,

Suppose we want to setup a HP-UX server as

1)Web Server
2)Database server.

What would be the considerations in both the case.

Please help

hi,

think you are looking for the prerequisites.
i could help you with some of them.

1) Web server
*** A Public IP Address
*** A good firewall / proper security enabled on your HP server
*** Apache or any kind of web server
*** Tomcat if you are going to use java servlets in the webpage
*** Hardware will depend upon the load you are going to put on this server

2) Database server
*** how big your database is???
*** which database you are going to run???
*** what type of applications you are going to use?? web based ???

It all depends on this

with best wishes
Naveej

Here's some links for you to research.

For HP-UX,

As far as a DB goes, if not Mysql, then you will have to get docs from whichever database you choose on how to setup.

Other things to think about - security -
