Can some one go over this as well... My new company is setting up their own server, and there seems to be alot of things going wrong. I'de like to know some specific linux server hosting specs.

Thanks, - Justin

If you don't know anything about setting up a Linux environment, I probably wouldn't try to use your first attempt for a live production site, to be honest. See if you can get a managed hosting solution, or at least have access to tech support people who can fix things if you break them.

There's a lot to know, even in the beginning. I'd recommend doing some reading online.. but if you do want to dive in head-first, make sure you can always restore your server, and check out information online about php.ini, vhost.conf, and httpd.conf. Those will be the areas you'll do most of the configuration. Just remember that after every change you'll need to restart apache.

Things do vary from install to install, which is why it's not always possible to give you "specific" server hosting specs.

From some testing I did, I think we pinpointed the amount of memory_limit Ubercart needs. Check out this FAQ entry.

FYI-
I've been using PHP4.4.4 and MYSQL4.1.22 on my host without issues. This is with a current 5.7 install of Drupal and beta5 UC.
