A group in my company wish to have a web server installed. It's going to be used as a web server + e-commerce using our own homegrown solution that uses MySQL + apache + perl/CGI to serve the pages, manage the database and take people's money. It must satisfy at least the following requirements: o good performance o maybe >1 CPU o 256 - 512MB RAM o reliable hardware o reliable software o RAID - preferably "hot-swappable". It's connected to the world at 2MB/s shared. Because it's not carrying much data at the moment I don't need a fantastically large RAID disk array. Of course I'd love to use FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE, so can anyone recommend a good set-up? Perhaps someone has a similar configuration that works for them and they could recommend it. And of course they want it yesterday. Due to my HP-UX 10 past I fell in love with their LVM stuff, so I'd like to use vinum. Is vinum stable enough yet? (last time I checked it was considered beta, though I know some people have had few/no problems) Can I use it with any hot-swap drive/controller sombo' reliably? Input is greatly appreciated!
