How to install

Connect to your server ssh as root via putty:

Update your Ubuntu Server

root@ns1:~# apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get -y autoremove

Then I edited /etc/hosts. Setup it look like this:

root@ns1:~# vi /etc/hosts

Now run

root@ns1:~# echo ns1.magwinya.co.za /etc/hostname
root@ns1:~# service hostname restart

Afterwards, run

root@ns1:~# hostname
root@ns1:~# hostname -f

Both should show ns1.magwinya.co.za now.

Download the VestaCP installation script

root@ns1:~# curl -O http://vestacp.com/pub/vst-install.sh
<root@ns1:~# ls
vst-install.sh

Run it

root@ns1:~# bash vst-install.sh
