Server Apache Wipe, Upgrade AlmaLinux9, New OpenCart 3.0.5.0. Installation
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
Senior Server Architect & OpenCart Expert: "Burn & Rebuild" Master Specification
I. Project Overview
We are executing a high-stakes "Burn and Rebuild" of a dedicated OVH server. The current environment is decommissioned due to corrupted Vhost mappings and a virtfs malfunction consuming 790GB. Site also has hosting errors where domain and server hosts both as domains so signal is split and no traffic.
The Goal: You are responsible for the full lifecycle: sanitizing data, nuking the current OS, performing a clean AlmaLinux 9 install via OVH, and deploying a conflict-free OpenCart 3.0.5.0 site. This is a life website but due to all those install errors we have no choice but reinstall it all. This is a live website but since it is not working correctly we have to update it all. That is why I am writing detailed instructions since previous developer installed all with HUGE errors that took us months to figure out. We lost traffic from the site completely.
Requirements for Applicants:
Expert-level AlmaLinux 9 and root-level cPanel/WHM administration.
Mastery of the cPanel Distillation/Include system.
Experience in OVHcloud Bare Metal management and Reverse DNS setup.
Deep knowledge of OpenCart 3.x and the Zoho Mail ecosystem.
Note to Freelancers:
If you cannot work within the standard cPanel Include system or plan to use "Inherit" for PHP, do not apply.
NO direct edits to httpd.conf.
NO VQMOD.
OCMOD ONLY.
NO shared document roots between hostname and website.
We require a 100% clean, professional, and update-proof installation.
II. Phase 1: Data Salvage & "Clean Surface" Wipe The "Lifeboat" Backup
III. Phase 2: Standardized Server & Vhost Environment
IV. Phase 3: Security, Firewall & Performance Stack
V. Phase 4: OpenCart Installation & Extension Deployment
VI. Phase 5: Launch, Canonicalization & Backups
