Software Installation

[thegreatco]

How do I install software on my VPS. I can ssh in, but I'm not sure how to upload it to the root directory to run it. Lets say for example, I have 3 clients, 4 domains. Domain, www.mydomain.com has its own IP address, and I want this server software to run on that IP and domain, but not on any of the others. I tried using PLESK, but the application install thing is disabled, and the only module I found was for Fedora 2, not 4, and PLESK says its not a valid PLESK module. Any help would be great.

ok, so I got the stuff on the server with WinSCP, however, I can't configure it. When I run ./configure, it returns this error:
configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables
I installed the patch for the software that was required for GCC4, which is supposed to come with Fedora 4, and it still complains. This is after I had to search for the patch command package, that wasn't installed either. Is GCC4 on my server? Or do I have to install it myself?

Try running this command from an SSH session:

which gcc

If should tell you where gcc is installed or will return "no match" if it can't be found in any of the directories in your PATH variable.

IIRC, when I set up a CentOS (which is somewhat similar to Fedora) box recently, I had to install several packages to get gcc working properly. Everything I needed was available in RPMs.

I used

which gcc

and I got

/$ which gcc
which: no gcc in (//sbin://bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin)

I also tried

which yum

and got

/$ which yum
which: no yum in (//sbin://bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin)

So i need to install all the packages myself?

I'ts odd that gcc isn't there (but yes, you can install it later), and YUM you do indeed have to install yourself; it does not come installed by default.

For YUM you can either follow the instructions here (http://www.eth0.us/yum-rhel), or do as I did and ask JaguarPC support to install it for you
