6785077276 Posted March 29, 2005 Author Share Posted March 29, 2005 Why not upgrade to new Apache, there's quite a few remote exploits for 1.3.3.x... 585692319[/snapback] I could, I'm just worried about compatibility with php, mysql,etc when I upgrade.

exobot Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 "If it ain't broken, don't fix it" Bad ideal in this case D:, it could be broken very easily :/. Also, what _is_ your connection speed? Someone said you were new to linux, and you tried gentoo.. how did that go for you? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just run Debian using command line, uses very little resources and makes for an efficient server! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1.3 series is still being updated with patches for security and bugs (just no new features). http://httpd.apache.org/ shows 1.3.33 as current. http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=elitehost.ath.cx shows the site running 1.3.33, so there should not be a problem (as long as he keeps updating Apache on a regular basis).

exobot Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 http://httpd.apache.org/ shows 1.3.33 as current. Eh, the newest release is 2.1 (in alpha), then 2.0 then 1.3, and the newest release is 2.0.53 D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbomonkeycock Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 There isn't a problem with the 1.3 branch of Apache. 2.x is a newer but more complex and even bloated version. It also doesn't look as old school :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New development is in the 2.x line, but there is nothing "outdated" in the sense of obsolescence or disregarded vunerabilities in the 1.x series.

Super8 and Tab Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 can i have a free hosting account too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiG- Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 so what would i get if i signed up for your hosting, because it sounds like you got dsl and have a resonable upload, and just running a server, but do i get unlimited bandwidth and everything, or a .co.uk domain, because if i do, it sounds like your running your own home server, but how can you assign websites to .co.uk if your running from home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6785077276 Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 I use an external DNS provider and manually edit the apache config files to assign a domain to a virtual directory. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiG- Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 so do u pay for the DNS or for free, and is it all above board what your doing because i could get my own .co.uk for free if that is what ure suggesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only use and external DNS provider for the nameservers so that domains can point to my server, that's all. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiG- Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 o rite, so how much does it cost to do all of this then ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljames28 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 It's free except for the power the server uses and the internet cost that he's probably already paying :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybeckett Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 (edited) Hi digitalnemesis, what is the host address for the mysql databases? I need to know it for IPB forum.

dotRoot Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Just to let you know digitalnemisis. You can run BIND on your Debian server so that you can handle your own DNS requests. It works OK if your IP is static of course. I'd generally advise against running a webserver from home, but since this seems to be pretty much for a learning experience you might as well learn how to set up a DNS server too. Also if you want a free control panel bundled with a webserver you can try: http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
