Steps for Installing EyeOS 2.5 on Rackspace Next Generation Cloud Server

 

We will use  Debian 6 (Squeeze) with 2 GB RAM and Rackspace Cloud Database as a Service for Installing EyeOS 2.5 on Rackspace Next Generation Cloud Server. It is just a basic guide. You can optimize your Cloud servers more to yield the best result.

 

So spin up a new server after logging in to Rackspace Cloud account. Also create a Cloud Database from your Rackspace Cloud account. After the server building is complete, login to your server using any SSH/Telnet Client or Terminal. If you are using PuTTY for the first time as SSH/Telnet Client on Windows, read the handy guide for PuTTY.

You can use only the I.P. , you will not map the domain as probably you will use EyeOS 2.5 for own usage. Basically the server setup is just like preparing a LAMP Server just we do for running WordPress, PHPbb etc.

And all needed components :

 

apt-get install openoffice.org php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-gd php5-mysql php5-imagick libimage-exiftool-perl php5-sqlite php-pear php5-dev python-uno php5-mcrypt php5-curl zip unzip build-essential
