How to Set Up a Dedicated Server

[Ciwan]

Hi Guys

I have recently bought a dedicated server, but I have no idea how to set it up at all. The reason that I bought the server was because my previous host found out that my site Kurds Portal was a WAREZ forum (after about a year !!)

I would greatly appreciate any help on how to set the server up guys.

Thank you.

[Ciwan]

The server is running Debian.

And Yes I will put my forum on there !

By the way I will be using Direct Admin.

Thanks

Well go into DA, then go to the User level.
Add a domain and all that crap, fill in the DNS, create a db, upload the db files, upload the forum files and you should be set.
