Continuing in setting up my CentOS server, the next thing I need is to get Hudson setup. Before I can get Hudson up and running I’ll need to get Tomcat installed. I could of course use Winstone which will get me up and running, but I know I will need Tomcat soon for some other things as well so might as well get it setup now.

More recently I have been having some issues with Plesk, I’ve felt like I’ve been fighting with Plesk’s default generic templates and cookie cutter processes. What should be simple such as adding custom wars to Tomcat end up proving more times then not to be a royal pain. This passed month I ended up playing around with Hudson, a Continous Integration server, and I found myself struggling through what should have been a seamless installation. Basically it took me 10 minutes to setup, install, and configure my first build in Hudson on my Mac but to be honest I ended up giving up after 3 days of struggling to get Hudson installed on my dedicated CentOS server that ran Plesk. Dont get me wrong, there are plenty of other things that bug me about Plesk but this latest thing was what ended up pushing me to get a basic server setup from scratch and configured exactly as I wanted it.

Just a quick walk through on installing subversion on a CentOS server running Plesk. What your going to want to grab is a fresh copy of YUM to handle the installation of subversion. YUM ( Yellow dog Updater, Modified) is “… an automatic updater and package installer/remover for rpm systems. It automatically computes dependencies and figures out what things should occur to install packages. It makes it easier to maintain groups of machines without having to manually update each one using rpm…”

The short of of the long is this, I switched my server last week to dreamhost after hearing so many good things about their services. I have a few colleagues who are on their systems who raved about them, and well, i was drawn into it. So… made my payment, switched my dns, let it all propagate through, woke up next morning to find out that dreamhosts main file server has been down for over 1 week and because of this my website, email, and ftp were now all down too.
