This tutorial shows how to set up a CentOS 5.5 server (x86_64) that offers all servicesneeded by ISPs and web hosters: Apache web server (SSL-capable), Postfix mailserver with SMTP-AUTH and TLS, BIND DNS server, Proftpd FTP server, MySQL server,Dovecot POP3/IMAP, Quota, Firewall, etc. This tutorial is written for the 64-bit version ofCentOS 5.5, but should apply to the 32-bit version with very little modifications as well.In the end you should have a system that works reliably, and if you like you can install

I want to say first that this is not the only way of setting up such a system. There are many ways of achieving this goal but this is the way I take.I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!
1 RequirementsTo install such a system you will need the following:
Download the two CentOS 5.5 DVDs or the eight CentOS 5.5 CDs from a mirror next to you (the list of mirrors can be found here:http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/5/isos/x86_64/).a fast Internet connection.
2 Preliminary NoteIn this tutorial I use the hostname server1.example.com with the IP address 192.168.0.100 and the gateway 192.168.0.1. Thesesettings might differ for you, so you have to replace them where appropriate.
3 Install The Base SystemBoot from your first CentOS 5.5 CD (CD 1) or the first CentOS 5.5 DVD. Press <ENTER> at the boot prompt:

Syndicate I'm installing CentOS 5.5 on a fresh system, so I answer Yes to the question Would you like to initialize this drive, erasingALL DATA?

Now we must select a partitioning scheme for our installation. For simplicity's sake I select Remove linux partitions on selecteddrives and create default layout. This will result in a small /boot and a large / partition as well as a swap partition. Of course,you're free to partition your hard drive however you like it. Then I hit Next:

Answer the following question (Are you sure you want to do this? ) with Yes:

On to the network settings. The default setting here is to configure the network interfaces with DHCP, but we are installing a server, so static IPaddresses are not a bad idea... Click on the Edit button at the top right.

In the window that pops up uncheck Use dynamic IP configuration (DHCP) and Enable IPv6 support and give your network card astatic IP address (in this tutorial I'm using the IP address 192.168.0.100 for demonstration purposes) and a suitable netmask (e.g.255.255.255.0; if you are not sure about the right values, http://www.subnetmask.info might help you):

Set the hostname manually, e.g. server1.example.com, and enter a gateway (e.g. 192.168.0.1) and up to two DNS servers (e.g.213.191.92.86 and 145.253.2.75):
