in thread Installing PadWalker

Can you suggest how I can find out which flavour of *nix is running on the virtual server?

I've tried:

cat /etc/os-release lsb_release -a
They tell me that the file and command respectively do not exist.

uname -r 10.0-962.3.2.lve1.5.39.el7.x86_64
Where else might I find more information so I can look into building a virtual machine or even a physical replica?

    I think that's RHEL7 or one of the many OSes based on it, like CentOS*. Perhaps your hosting provider's support would be willing to answer that question more precisely?

    I searched for "redhat linux virtualbox" on YouTube and found a bunch of video tutorials. (Just make sure to download stuff from the official pages only.)

    * Update: I see you just posted 11130454, which gives more hints: uname='linux buildfarm02.cloudlinux.com ...' suggests CloudLinux OS, a CentOS derivative.

      That post also mentions RedHat and Fedora which I know are flavours of Linux...

      I recall someone suggested that shared hosting could be a hotchpotch of various bits and pieces that are shoehorned together in a non-standard way!

        I don't know for sure, but the fact that the cPanel and CloudLinux docs both describe the integration with each other suggests that your hosting provider likely just purchased a standard solution to make things easier on themselves.

    Ask the people that you pay for this service?
