One Server Installation

If you are installing H-Sphere to one box, make sure to have at least two IPs available, because some features (like OpenSRS) require at least two DNS servers. Click here for details. Also, note that on one server installations the postgresql hosting feature isn't included, because of the H-Sphere system database.

If you are going to install H-Sphere to one box, consider the following example for a computer with 20 GB HDD:

/root partition 0.5 - 1.5 GB (/etc, /tmp, /root)
/usr 1.5 - 3 GB
/var 3 - 5 GB - used for mail and MySQL files
/hsphere (or /home) - the remaining disk space for H-Sphere installation and hosting: the more users, the more disk space is required. If you want to have SiteStudio, it will also be installed onto this partition. However, this will require at least 256 RAM.

In addition, you can create a separate mail partition for the H-Sphere mail system. Its size will depend on your mail quotas for users and the number of mailboxes.

Hi,

Under Red hat 7.3, and many other OS and versions, the swap file is calculated automaticly when installing the software. I got a single server set up in my office, and installed Red Hat 7.3. It did set aside the needed swap file.

So basicly, the swap file is created for you.
