How to install redhat Linux enterprise 5

rskay · 09-10-2007, 05:44 PM

I would like to install redhat enterprise 5 as a server to accommodate websites that run with php and sql (including apache). I have never installed a linux before so is there any documentation that i could follow.

First install RHEL5 and select everything. Makes things easier in the future.
Then search google for docs related to each of the things needed and ask here in seperate threads. Keeps help topics cleaner. Search here as well. Lots of post on most of this.

You simply boot from the RHEL5 CD and follow the instructions. It's all graphical and very straight forward. The hardest thing would be how to partition the disk so I would select the auto option rather than disk druid and as noted above. Better to get everything rather than miss some files.

Then you're done!

I believe this is the best thing to look at :
