Lao Zuo first saw the information about the pagoda server management assistant software. He should have seen the advertisement on Xiaoye Blog last week. According to the introduction of this software, it should have been updated and upgraded gradually in the past two years. At present, it has Linux and Windows environment versions, of which most of our users need Linux The system version is in the internal version, but its functions should be relatively complete for common site building requirements.
From the perspective of user needs, although there are many Linux server management panels in China, they either start to pay, or the version is too old and has not been updated for a long time, including what Lao Zuo introduced earlier AppNode Panel It is also a paid version, but the BT pagoda panel is free. Although it is currently in the beta version, I am still ready to experience the functions and installation process of this new panel.
BT Tower Linux Server Management Assistant currently only supports CentOS6. X/7. X, so we need to consider the corresponding system version when installing. According to the introduction, multiple PHP versions can coexist and switch. This is a good function for users of the same server and different sites using different PHP versions.
First, BT pagoda Linux server assistant installation script
yum -y install screen wget && screen -S bt
wget -O install.sh http://125.88.182.172:5880/src/install.sh && sh install.sh
Here we log in to the current server SSH, and then execute the script installation.
Second, the installation process of BT pagoda Linux server assistant
1. Select the software download node and attach the hard disk
There are two download nodes, and we can select one; There is also a process that can help us quickly mount a data disk. If we have a data disk to mount, we can enter y to help us mount it. Personally, I suggest that we have a data disk or mount it ourselves. Here, we enter n to help us mount it.
2. Set PHP and MYSQL versions
We can choose the PHP 5.2-PHP7 version according to the project needs, or install all of them, because some netizen projects need to switch between different PHP versions on different sites; Then select the MYSQL database version and set the database password.
3. Check version information and installation
We check the software version of the configuration server environment. If there is no problem, enter y to install. The system will estimate the installation time, which is inaccurate.
4. Installation success interface
Wait a minute. When you see the above interface, it means that the installation is completed. Then you need to record the information part of the logo, the URL of the login panel, and the database information.
Third, the initialization process of BT pagoda Linux server assistant
After installation, we cannot access the panel immediately. We need to initialize the panel:
Http://Our server IP address: 888
We log in to this address and prepare to initialize the settings.
Set administrator account information and initialize information.
In this way, you can log in to the panel after initialization.
IV. Basic functions of BT pagoda Linux server assistant
1. Login Panel Management
Http://Our server IP address: 888
After initialization, we can log in to the panel.
Log in with the user name and password we set.
2. Overview of panel background interface
After entering the BT server management assistant, I saw that the background was relatively simple and refreshing, which should be consistent with the operation habits of Chinese webmasters. AppNode was a bit awkward to tell the truth before. The current version is 2.3.3.1, with server status query, website management, FTP management, suffering management, firewall management, and file management. The basic functions of building a website are sufficient.
Fifth, BT Tower Server Management Assistant experience
1. Add Site
We need to add a site, set the binding domain name, whether to create FTP, database, and select the PHP version (because I installed it when I installed it).
2. Create FTP account management
Because Lao Zuo (laozuo. org) created both FTP and MYSQL when creating the site, we can see that FTP has an account. If we need to create a user and point to the specified directory separately, as shown in the figure above.
3. Create MYSQL database
Similarly, we can set database users separately, or add site databases together when adding sites.
4. File Manager
The role of the file manager is relatively large. You can directly pack and decompress files on the panel to improve efficiency.
5. Firewall port management
These are the basic functions of this panel, and the site building function is sufficient.
VI. Summary of BT pagoda server management assistant application
1. The above is Lao Zuo's experience of this new VPS panel. He has experienced the Linux version, and the official version of Windows is also available.
2. The installation process is relatively simple. The process wizard is relatively simple. Set and select PHP version and MYSQL version support. The process of building the website conforms to the Chinese user experience. It is also relatively simple, and the PHP version can be switched.
3. The basic website building function is available, and some auxiliary component support should be added and considered by this software official.
