Set Up Server

Andy after consulting decided to use the Codero public cloud, a 2 processor 2GB 50gb VM instance with an Ubuntu 10.04 install which is a bit old but does come with PHP 5.3 which is needed for Mediawiki 1.20 so its OK.

This would have been fine but the default install that Codero put on the hypervisor did not actually work, i.e. it was not possible to ssh to it, it took a chat with their tech to realise that it was actually their problem. So I destroyed that instance and set another up and ssh'd no worries.

Performed an apt-get update and upgrade and set up four users: jack nad andy and izzy, preparatory to setting up mail accounts for the latter two.

I installed

apt-get install sudo p7zip-full bzip2 unzip subversion git imagemagick

I had to install git-core, there was no package git found.

Have not upgraded to precise pangolin, it fails under ssh, as warned.
