Publigator installer script for clean VPS with CentOS 6

Prerequisites

First you need a VPS with minimum 512MB RAM and 20GB disk drive with CentOS 6.x minimal installed. You can order VPS from DigitalOcean.com with these parameters just for $5 per month!

If you would use a VPS provided by firstvds.ru, don’t select OpenVZ virtualization! Select KVM instead of that (a bit expensive). In other case you will can’t create a swap file!

Also you should have the domain, ex. yourdomain.com with set DNS records for VPS Hostname and for domain/subdomain for Publigator. So if your domain is yourdomain.com you need to create A records in your domains manager:

serv.yourdomain.com A 14400 1.2.3.4
publigator.yourdomain.com A 14400 1.2.3.4

Where is 1.2.3.4 the IP of your VPS. If you plan to use the dedicated domain for the script, you don’t need to create DNS record for the subdomain.

So if you call dig serv.yourdomain.com you should see the IP of your VPS.

Actions

Next connect to VPS by SSH as root. You should be in the home directory of the user (root).

Copy and run next command:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jetapps-eu/publigator-vps-installer/master/publigator-install-step1.sh && bash publigator-install-step1.sh

The installed will ask you about your e-mail for send you access info for VestaCP control panel, which will be installed.

Also it will ask you about hostname, about domain for Publigator, IP of the VPS, credentials for the DB.

When step-1 will finished, copy next step-2 command and run:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jetapps-eu/publigator-vps-installer/master/publigator-install-step2.sh && bash publigator-install-step2.sh

By default PHP working via as mod_ruid2. If you need SuPHP or Fcgid mode, check same steps below.

Or step-2 with SuPHP:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jetapps-eu/publigator-vps-installer/master/publigator-install-step2-suphp.sh && bash publigator-install-step2-suphp.sh

Will be installed SuPHP with dedicated hosting package suphp and special templates suphp for Apache and Nginx.

sudo su -

Next set password for the root.

```
vi /etc/resolv.conf
```
or
```
nano /etc/resolv.conf
```

Example:

#Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 188.120.247.2
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
