Hey Ed Thanks again for the reply. Had a look at cPanel while waiting for the Email and realise it's expensive at $1250 or similar. Is there anything out there that does a similar job but a little cheaper. Not sure the customer is going to want to pay that sort of money. Any advice appreciated!

Yup - cpanel is great for this. It allows you/him to quickly set up other sites, virtualizes the whole thing so that each site looks like it owns the box, and can even set up a nice chroot'ed ssh environment. Each site can have unique user e-mail addresses, ftp locations, web logs, etc. My ISP also runs Fantastico so that I can install my own 3rd party apps like gallery, phprojekt, etc. .../Ed > > -----Original Message----- > From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] > On Behalf Of Ed Wilts > Sent: 10 April 2005 19:25 > To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list > Subject: Re: Control Panel > > On Sun, Apr 10, 2005 at 06:55:30PM +0100, Chris Kenward wrote: > > I've been installing Redhat ES now for a while and am getting more > > confident about getting new servers up and running, however one of > > our customers has just asked for a server running Redhat but wants > > to have Control Panel access to the box. > > > > Completely floored - how on earth does one install this?
