Installing on linux as a service

Hi there,

I'm purchased a (ve)Server solution with MediaTemple, it's basically a fully cusotmisable collocated virtualised server on CentOS. I only gain access to it via SSH. Everything is installed and working perfectly however I can't seem to get it to run as a service.

I determined the runlevel on the server and added the symbolic link into the rc3.d folder. When I restarted the service didn't propagate. I'm sure I followed instructions correctly, just not sure why it's not working.

Thanks,

David

It seems like you have done all things right but evidently something is missing. From your description is difficult to determine :(

Runlevel 3 sounds good... it's typical of Linux not running a display manager, if you do you are probably in runlevel 5

I can only recommend to recheck all the steps you have done
