do you able to open firefox? i didn’t have problem opening folders under Places, but some times firefox won’t run and closes by it self, i suspect this is because i give too low RAM on the vps. so may be it the same case with yours.

OpenVZ and 2GB Dedicated.

when i type whoami , it just says “root”

Strange thing is i am actually able to surf the net.

My screen looks like this now -> http://i50.tinypic.com/141iqlz.jpg

Hi Markus,

I am trying out ubuntu 9.04 now and successfully remoted into my VPS.
However, i am unable to open folders via Places dropdownlist.

It will say “Opening Root” and then close by itself.

Any advise for this?

Thanks Markus. You are a life saver.

Nearly gave up on VPS hosting until i discovered your blog.

Have a good one!

hi Al, I have my own hosting services: http://www.halfdedi.com, but the datacenter where my server located is not allowing torrent so after i install rtorrent and test that it works, i remove it.

i’ll write a tutorial on how to setup web server on centos, please visit my blog after a few days

Hey markus,

What is the VPS host you are using to run rtorrent on?
And any chance of a tutorial on setting up a website on CentOS?

Cheers
