Let me explain my situation. I have a strong server, and i use DirectAdmin to manage my websites.

As i am slowly getting into the Hosting Bussines, I want to play with VPS a little bit.

So i am thinking of installing HyperVM and exeriment a little. I allready installed OpenVZ

My Question is this: Will HyperVM mess with my DirectAdmin installation in any way ?

Thanks for your time
 
Hello,

yes it will. You should not use Directadmin and HyperVM on one server, but you can setup a VPS with directadmin.

HyperVM uses MySQL/Apache/PHP + libraries installed with rpm/yum from custom repository.
 
Oo that's to bad. Is there any other way to automate VPS creation or at least manage them through a web interface ?


Thanks
 
You can try to find or write your own scripts to use vzctl. Most of OpenVZ control panels, which have web interface, would try to install a web server (apache, lighttpd, other). Anyway, you might want to use google or visit official web site of OpenVZ in order to find a list of more CP.

Anyway, you can create a VPS in a shell with command vzctl, and move directadmin into a new created VPS, and after that, you can install HyperVM. That's what, I would do, if I were you, or if you hire me.
 
The problem is that i don't know command line OpenVZ and i need an easy way to manage that.

I don't really get it, many programs have web interface, they just compile and run apache on a different directory and port, and everything is fine.

Anyone confirms that this problem will happen ? Or anyone knows some easy way to manage my VPSs through web preferably ??

Thanks
 
I installed OpenVZ Web Panel 1.7 and everything seems ok so far. No strange sideffects
 
That's good, I'm glad you've got it. Never seen this CP. It's written on Ruby:

The following software is required to be installed on server with panel:
Ruby 1.8.5+ (1.9 is not supported)
RubyGems
Ruby SQLite3 support


The following software is required to be installed on physical server, which will be used for OpenVZ containers:
OpenVZ kernel
OpenVZ tools (vzctl, vzlist)
Ruby 1.8.5+ (1.9 is not supported)

Since that, you should not get any issues. But be careful with configuring that CP, since it might need a special disk partitioning (as for OpenVZ it does).

There are a few plugins for the WHMCS billing/provisioning system that wilol provision Xen. Perhaps others, too; I didn't look.
