Previous article talked about the server Linux distribution choice, although we are racking our brains choice of CentOS, but at least did not shoot the wrong, this release is very suitable for our needs. The next logical step is to select the version of CentOS, the official home page for http://www.centos.org/ , in which you can learn about each version. Because we want to build a high-performance server, so need to choose its 64-bit version, the following example to x86_64 6.3.

    If that, I deliberately added a "project team" the words, I do not know or understand the use of Linux server development is how to proceed, at least I spent time in the company are based on the appropriate team members in their windows system are installed virtual machines for development, I find this way too inefficient, and native resources are severely occupation, and internal collaboration project team is also very inconvenient after a simple attempt, so I applied for an ordinary PC servers to CentOS as a director, to we were assigned account developing on this PC remotely, the effect is great. (When we are saying in this regard very generous director, this PC as a development server within the network, the application gave us an 8-core Xeon server for an extranet deployment server, in fact, there is no pre-performance stress these resources very wasteful).

Here to brief you through setup process under CentOS server

Differences are as follows:

BinDVD version - the normal installation version, to be installed in order to use the computer's hard disk, a large file that contains a large number of commonly used software.

LiveDVD plate - to guide the optical disc can be installed CentOS system (also can be used directly from the CD).

Version LiveCD - Bootable CD can be installed CentOS system (CD-ROM may be directly used), as compared to leaner LiveDVD Edition.

Mini version - More Mini version of CentOS system, no graphical interface.

netinstall version - the need to support the network, download the appropriate RPM files from the network during the installation process.

    I chose the LiveCD version, which was carved Boot CD hard disk installation, specific installation process I made reference books "to build highly available Linux server (version 2)," the first chapter, a very detailed installation instructions.

 After installation involves more than to be remote collaborative development and installation of the following services:

    If you need no remote graphics system, then you can directly use SSH, LiveCD installed by default, but you need to start the service. For details, please refer to: http://www.centospub.com/make.html , I personally use the putty under the windows.

    If you want to use CentOS graphics system, VNC is definitely the best choice, please refer http://wiki.centos.org/zh/HowTos/VNC-Server .

    If you want windows CentOS shared disk system you can install samba, refer http://wiki.centos.org/zh/HowTos/SetUpSamba?highlight=%28samba%29 .

    In addition to iptables ssh port 22 is open by default, the port is not open to the VNC and the samba, to provide a simple configuration of iptables about them

 #vnc

-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp -m multiport --dports 5901:5903,6001:6003 -j ACCEPT

#samba

-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 137 -j ACCEPT

-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 138 -j ACCEPT

-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 139 -j ACCEPT

-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 445 -j ACCEPT

-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 445 -j ACCEPT
 

   Well, CentOS server environment for collaborative development within a project team with a good, ready to start development work it :)
