RS246 needs you!!!

Can anyone get hold of a rack mount server cheap/free? I have some that might do the job, but it doesn't hurt to test the water.

Something I may be able to help with at last....

Minimum spec... Difiicult, but I'm looking for something that will run Windows 2000 well (or maybe Dave will come up trumps [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] ). Probably something with RAID, and will take at least 1GB of RAM.

Let me know what you can get.

Not sure about the self patching bit, but I can certainly sort out the linux installation and take care of security for you..and the apache/php installation.

Not done much php, but just finished a contract, so will have a bit of time on my hands until I manage to find a new one!

I presume you've got the network link and somewhere for the server to sit?

I think the OS is dependent on the box we use. We are looking for performance, and the main apps are:

Web Server
PHP
MySQL

No problem...just let me know what you need me to do...

What sort of php skills were you looking for?

[PhilT]

There are a few bits and bobs in PostNuke (and associated modules) that we will probably need to 'modify'. Are you familiar with PostNuke at all?

MySQL, PHP & web serving all work fine on an IIS (W2k box) - a little trickier to configure on a W2k3 box but not really rocket science once you have it in front of you.

Well I tried it several times and had errors with 'OCS controls' (Pretty sure it was that. Could you write me a doc with the IIS/PHP intergration stuff?

Cheers,

Nothing 'just sitting there' [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img], but I will be able to get a good deal on new. We'll chat tomorrow [img]images/graemlins/nodder.gif[/img]
