Configuring Linux Apache on Virtual Dedicated Server via SSH

So I ran into an issue these last few days where I was taking way too much RAM on my server. Of course, that is the woe of someone who is always pushing the limits of whatever computing power I can get my hands on.

I had to get my feet wet a little bit more with ssh, apache configurations, httpd.conf, and even little things such as commands on how to navigate within Linux. I am fairly versed in many computer aspects, and this wasn't too difficult, but I imagine I will forget how to do this in the next week, so I try to keep a good record of what I do.

I have decided to publish my video for others. I hope you will use it for good and reciprocate my efforts by providing a link to either my site http://www.SaveonAtoZ.com or this one http://www.MauricioZuniga.com.

So without further ado, here is the video on how to configure your httpd.conf on your virtual dedicated server. Mine, as you can see was hosted on eDealdomains.com - But I am sure it can work for you on almost any control panel with SSH connection (please refer to your control panel).

Lastly, I did run out of time in the video right at the end ... the only thing left for you to do is restart apache service and you are set to go. In my control panel there is a way to do that. Worst case scenario, you could always reboot the server if you can't figure out how to reboot just the apache service (this is how you will know if your edits broke something or not!). Just google restart apache and I am sure you can find the answer with your new tools and the ability to work with ssh.

By the way, i would recommend making one change at a time in your httpd.conf then restarting Apache. That way you can easily debug for issues and you will know where your problems are. Good luck to you, and remember to make backups before you do anything. Lastly don't blame me - please use any of my information at your own risk!
