VHCS VM - Virtual Hosting Server with an Open Source Control (VM

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ EDIT: So I've decided not to use VHCS for a couple of reasons... First of all, it doesn't seem very easy to install.... There are install scripts out there that will do it for you, but none of them are updated for Ubuntu 9.04 or Debian 5.0.1. --Also, I ran across this article: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2006/08/15/vhcs-v2471-pro-do-not-use and many others I found on google by searching for VHCS HACK So instead, I think I'll give SysCP a shot... It looks promising, has great documentation and installation guides, and it's being kept up to date: http://www.syscp.org However, I will still continue to host the .torrent files I uploaded earlier in case others want to still give VHCS a shot and use these VM appliances... / END EDIT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FOR FULL DETAILS, VISIT: http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/370 Operating System: Debian Linux Applications: Apache HTTP Server version 2.0.54 (aka Apache2) Debian Linux OS version 3.1 (aka Sarge) Lynx Web Browser version 8.2.5 OpenSSH version 3.1.8 MySQL Database Tool version 4.1 PHP Development Tools version 4 VHCS Open Source Control Panel version 2.4.7 VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175 VHCS-VM was developed to provide a turn-key solution for Virtual Web Servers with a fully functional Control Panel. This VMWare application was built on the Debian Linux operating system running Apache2. I chose Debian for it's simplicity and ease of maintenance. The Control Panel that is packaged with this virtual server appliance comes from the open source project VHCS. VHCS delivers a complete hosting automation appliance by offering significant security, total-cost-of-ownership, and performance advantages over competing commercial solutions. With VHCS you can configure your server and applications, create users with domains with a few point-and-click operations that take less than a minute. There is no limit to the number of resellers, users and domains that can be created. At the core of VHCS are 3 easy-to-use, Web-based control panels. VHCS provides graphic user interfaces for the administrators, resellers and users. VHCS-VM and VMWare Server open the door a little more for someone to sell hosting products. VHCS-VM uses the latest stable builds of VHCS and integrates in a Linux Apache Webserver that is ready to be downloaded and run. You can host multiple Virtual VHCS-VM Servers running on one VMWare Server. What is VHCS? VHCS is an Open Source Software Project that is dedicated to giving users, administrators and developers the ultimate level of control over their Linux web servers, web sites and their data. The goal of VHCS' group of developers is to create software that is easy for everyone to use, not just to pile on features.

VHCS was developed and is used to support dozens of languages, and they strive to ensure that every piece of VHCS software can be translated into all languages. What does VHCS do?
