Learning to Manage Linux Server

Sorry for not updating the blog for few days.
While wandering through the web I came across 2 new things that I want to learn:
1. Building Facebook Apps
2. Managing Linux web server

I recently started to take Facebook seriously because as an internet marketer I need to be at all the places where people are. I made more than 700 friends in about 30 days without spamming. Most of the people are from my own field. If you too wanna join me click here.
Now as I look at Facebook from monetization perspective I see if I can build a decent Facebook app than I can make some bucks. I started reading Facebook developer guides and also borrowed few books:
1. Facebook Application Development
2. Essential Facebook Development
3. Building FAcebook Applications for dummies

I haven't read any of those yet so can't say much about them.
Few ideas are there in my mind but I will be doing some brain storming and mind mapping before actually putting up an application.

Second thing that I started is Learning to manage Linux server. You might have read in my other post that I own a VPS at Servint. Although my VPS is fully managed and I really like the kind of service Servint provides but I still like to do things on my own. Yes there is risk on ruining things but thats what makes it more enjoyable. I am using Cent OS on my VPS so I knew a little bit about doing things on this OS, but I have Ubuntu installed on my laptop so I thought of learning Ubuntu to make learning a bit quicker.
Here is what I learnt until now:
  • Installing Linux (off course)
  • Installing Apache server
  • Installing PHP
  • Installing MySQL
  • Installing SQLite
  • Installing Bind
  • Installing Mailserver
  • Installing memcache
  • Installing Litespeed server
  • Installing NginX server
  • Configuring all that I have installed
  • and ruining most of the things ;-)
Lets see where I reach from here..

Too many server errors

Although this blog is hosted on blogger.com I also have many blogs/forums/other sites that are hosted on my VPS at servint. From yesterday evening I am getting too many errors from the server and I had 3 downtimes since then. May be I have done something stupid or the server is being bombarded from some hackers.
Few of my blogs got hacked about an year ago and since that time my blogs are constant target. This may be another attack on my server.
Servint has been really good at helping me out of the downtimes and now they are checking what is the actual cause of my servers being behaving like this.
Lets hope there is nothing serious.
