SMUJeremyZ28 Posted March 4, 2005 CID Share Posted March 4, 2005 Thinking about running a mostly private web server, but I am not sure what I want to use it for. I have a FTP server set up for myself when I go out of town, for close friends to get some files from me. I dont have a lot of upload bandwith (384KB up) so I can't really run anything that would pull a ton of bandwith. Suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
php Posted March 4, 2005 CID Share Posted March 4, 2005 Apache is a nice server, and free. http://httpd.apache.org/ It may require some manual setup though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just- Posted March 4, 2005 CID Share Posted March 4, 2005 yeah that is not to shabby at all just the upload is not great so u cant run a testmy.net server test there that would be fun i cant think of anything out of the top of my head way cool to do there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMUJeremyZ28 Posted March 4, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 4, 2005 Yeah I know, upload is the suxor. My FTP server will do pretty much everything I need (IE access files for work when I am out of state etc.), but I thought it would be nice to dabble in apache and see what I could come up with.

SMUJeremyZ28 Posted March 4, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 4, 2005 I can always just redo and rehost my personal website from there, comcast only gives a 10MB limit, and with this computer I have GBs of space so I could experiment with flash, some java scripts, lots of fun stuff.

Swimmer Posted March 5, 2005 CID Share Posted March 5, 2005 Oh I have Apache running and everything. I used my website that is hosted on Comcast as a test and it works no doubt. I just thought there were some cool things I could actually do with it to serve a nice function. Oh and all this is running on a machine I pulled out of the sell scrap pile at work and pieced together. Dual PIII 733MHz (supports dual PIII 1GHz) 1GB DRAM 10GB 10,000 SCSI 60GB 7,200 IDE 40GB 7,200 IDE Which isnt too shabby for free. BTW, I have a degree is Computer Engineering, so I am fairly technical . U want to hook me up?? i am looking to get some servers for a swim team.. They cant afford to buy a new box.. I was thing about us scraping my Compaq k6-2 500mhz... Where did you go to school? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indestructable Posted March 6, 2005 CID Share Posted March 6, 2005 hey, Reno, ya know how to install PHP for apache manually? I got it working, not php, but apache, and I really don't want to uninstall it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reno Posted March 6, 2005 CID Share Posted March 6, 2005 I know it comes with rather good instructions because I did it once, all you have do to though is go into the apache config file add the PHP script and some other things, its been a long time since I did that though, I just you apache2triad.

Indestructable Posted March 6, 2005 CID Share Posted March 6, 2005 well, I'll try to find instructions then, cus, I really don't want to screw with my config file atm. it took me days to get it working, and that's pretty damn sad. if only me damn norton didn't block port 80, I would do it in a second. arrggghhhhh! know how to allow all on port 80? ps, if you can find out how to do that, I'll give you 10000 bucks. not really...
