Now that you have your Amazon EC2 Cloud server, you need to start setting it up. (Did u get free cloud server?)

I think starting with an apache server would be a good (and very simple) option. All you have to do is type the command:

$ sudo yum -y install httpd

I just bought a server in the Cloud to run my development tools (i.e. SVN, JIRA, MySQL etc.). It is a 8.04 Ubuntu server with root access. So I need this server to work the way I want it, so here are the steps I took to prepare it:

1. Change the .bashrc file
I am so used to typing 'll' in the command line as alias for 'ls -lsa' that the first thing I changed was the .bashrc file to have the standard aliases enabled.

Type:

root@XXXCNN4730:/# vi ~/.bashrc
