Installing Apache in a Remote Computer

[dinesh]

Hello Friends,

I have the idea to install Apache, PHP and Mysql and configure them locally. But How can I do remote installation for them? I have a new server (Remote) and I want it to host the web sites. Could you please help me with ideas for remote installation?

Thank you

Regards
Dinesh

What operating system?  Windoze or Linux?
There are different ways you can manage a remote server:
1.  SSH
2.  Remote desktop (FreeNX for Linux or RDP for windoze)
3.  Web-based console like Plesk or cPanel

the problem with remote installation is that you've either to :
- install source files on the remote server (FTP, sFTP...) and then execute locally (if feasible via console and you're on unix, fine : use ssh or telnet ; if on windows you need remote access configuration and it's terribly more difficult : you'll have to ask a local operator to perform installation locally)
- install binary files and pray for the installation to work : this is unreliable.
