Classic general purpose LAMP (Linux, Apache, PHP/Perl/Python) cloud server based on CentOS 5.x, the most popular Linux distribution for web servers.
The cloud server has independent Apache and MySQL server components which share a NAS storage component, allowing for rapid elastic scalability of compute and storage resources.
Internal networking is managed through a PS8 virtual switch, and a set of gateways (on IN and one OUT).
Features and Benefits
- Highly scalable: Multiple independent components allow for rapid application scaling
- Easy to use: includes a web management interface via the Cloud Control Panel
- Lightweight: built from the ground up with the minimum required components
- Runs everywhere: Compatible with all version of AppLogic from 2.4.10 to 2.9.9
- 100% open source: free from pricey and restrictive proprietary licensing
Usage
The server has been secured and optimised for use as a general purpose web application platform.
The server is delivered with preconfigured SSH and FTP access from the Internet.
Customers can access and manage their Apache web server component through port 4101, and their MySQL component via port 4201.
The FTP server is configured for passive FTP on port 21.
