Questions about CentOS and Files

[Ehcloprom]

I have never ran rAthena/eAthena on any operating system other then windows therefore I'm left with a few questions.

 

For starters from what I read compiling the server is done via SSH but as far as uploading my own files to my didicated server and editing current files I have no idea how that would be done or if it would be a "pain in the ass" therefore am I left with no other choice then paying an extra 15$ - 20$ a month for Direct Admin or Cpanel/WHM. (or something like that - Any recommendations?)

 

It's not that huge of a deal getting something like the two above CPs if it would make it that much easier to edit files

(especially since my server is currently closed beta and will obviously require constant editing.)

 

Any recommendations for me before I go head and order my didicated server?

 

 

Here's an list of Control Panels offered by the host I'll be using

 

• OpenVZ /w HyperVM
• Webmin
• SolusVM - Master (OpenVZ)
• DirectAdmin
• Parallels Plesk Panel 11
• cPanel/WHM v11

If you want to run only ragnarok server realy there's no need control panel.
 
You'll use just SSH + FTP (or SFTP).
 
Follow the guide http://rathena.org/wiki/index.php?title=Installation_(CentOS) and be happy
 
But if you want to host websites, control panel is very useful. I work with cpanel for two years and I'm happy with it.

I never thought about FTP at all even though I use it daily thanks.

I would suggest to not use a Control Panel either, it would just weaken the security, they all open exploits somewhere.
