Hi, evaluating migration to Centos 7.1 and could use some help in my googling efforts =)
Working with a nice dedicated server to host a couple of WP Multisite networks and need, in a nutshell: Apache >2.4, PHP >5.5, MariaDB >10.0.20
Q1: Assuming we're starting from Centos 7.1 Minimal what are essential additional packages needed prior to cPanel installation? (eg. command line browser/...?)
(and I don't mean effectively 'upgrading' to base web server, I'm trying to focus on a leaner web server for my WP to reduce competition for server resources - its quite a chore to make WP go fast enough for my tastes and I've gotten a fair distance learning how to *turn things off* yet I'm thinking that the better way forward is to learn more about how to only *turn on* what I really need in the first place... )
Basically, I'm pretty good at reading docs yet am obviously a bit new at some of this and am facing the 'don't know where to look' issue a bit... am thinking that it'd be a great thread to have around the forums right about now (if we can get it fleshed out a bit, though good links are a great start)!
I have some ideas from the searching I've already done yet have decided to try and leave the space open to get the thread off to a sound start before I post my copypasta... Cheers!
Q2: With my rough use-case in mind, what are likely (if any) additional packages needed that cannot be handled as usual via EasyApache once cPanel is successfully set up?
[elucidation ensues here, hopefully... =]
