Hey... I have a few sites running on Linode and I'm really happy.

Before I go any further though I just want to check I'm doing it right!

I have a 512 Linode with a single 20224 Disk Image and a 256 Swap.
It's a basic Apache / MySql setup that I'll use mainly for Wordpress installs.

This is all the config I've done really (from the docs) and just adding V-Hosts and DBs for new sites.

is this how I should be doing it or should I have separate disk images?

Any help appreciated.
Rob

Sounds ok to me. I made my swap 512MB, but only a tiny bit of that gets utilized. I don't need all that space, so I made my production partition ~9.5GiB so that there could be a second disk image used for manual backup purposes if I wished.

That's fine, one thing you'll want to do is search the forum for "MaxClients" and read the posts there

Sorry, I missed these responses (I thought I'd get an email, maybe I need to subscribe...)

Anyway - thanks very much.

I'll take a look at MaxClients now... you have me worried! :p

PS: found the subscribe button

Hi Rob,

My Linode has the exactly same set up as yours.

Please share with your finding with MaxClients. I had a look at the search results on this forum but not sure if I should lower my MaxClients right now(still building the site- no visitors, yet)

Best to configure it now before it breaks, prevention is better than cure.

Looks likes a good place to start looking at the config...
