I did this back using the F12 version of this howto, and then it was NOT on howtoforge. I still have it running on F12 and REALLY want to move off that. Almost everything in this tutorial is now available without doing things like disabling SELinux (btw, I move the SSH port and use semanage to accomidate that). It is good when someone does something good and then it comes easy. When I get this working, I will put together instructions to be published somewhere. The only part which I probably CAN'T do myself is the mysql frontend; I will be using phpMyAdmin for starters.
