Install CentOS 7 on VPS via SSH (putty)

Post by timo_denmark » 2017/12/15 10:00:53

Hi there - I am totaly lost, cant find anything that works - If you could point me to a "how to do" example, or show me the basics of installing a new version of linux on my VPS server, i would be very happy.

Here is the problem - I have a VPS running debian 7 - Is is possible to install CentOS 6 via the controlpanel, but i am recomended to install CentOS 7, so that i can run PHP7, Drupal, Joomla on my websites.

How to go from Debian 7 to CentOS 7, via Putty(SSH) - i have root access - Also i where recomended to get the KVM instead, but i am into deep water right now. All Helo is very welcome!

Thanks

Timo

Impossible.
In order to use SSH you have to have a running OS, and you cannot install CentOS on top of a running Debian OS.
Ask you VPS provider how to get CentOS 7.
