Newbie questione RE DA setup

[techmonkey]

Hello,

Based on the praise I have seen at WHT, I am thinking about getting DA on my next server. Since DA is not offered at the facility I was going to get my server at - theplanet.com - I was thinking I would order the server without a CP and purchase DA myself. I have a few questions regarding this setup:

1. I am assuming once I have the server, the DA staff will install the CP once I purchase it? (just verifying what I see on the purchase page). What is the turn around time between purchase and installation?

2. I am under the impression that PHP/MySQL/Apache are usually installed as part of the CP. So if I order a server without a CP, and then have DA installed - I'll have LAMP installed and ready to go?

3. Just wanted to verify what I read on WHT - a DA server uses the standard httpd.conf, php.ini etc so that I can make minor configuration changes without having to alter proprietary cp databases?

Thanks for the help!

Hi,

2) Yes it will be installed.

Hello,


1. I am assuming once I have the server, the DA staff will install the CP once I purchase it? (just verifying what I see on the purchase page). What is the turn around time between purchase and installation?If the installation comes with the license you purchase, then yes, we'll install it. Turnaround time can be anywhere from 10 minutes to 3-4 hours (during the day) from when we get payment confirmation, depending on the time of day and how busy it is. :)
