LAMP Server for vBulletin

[Belicoso_Fino]

I am a vBulletin site owner who currently runs WinSvr2003. I am trying to learn enough to run my forum from a Linux platform.

I am an OLD BSD Unix guy...back in the day. Linux is a far cry from BSD unix so I am reliant on other people's experiences and trials and successes.

Anyway, that would make an excellent HOWTO.

Cheers,

Larry

there is an good howto on fedora core ver 6
for an LAMP or Ubuntu
play with them
that are nice and easy
the Ubuntu LAMP is more of a out of the box apache / mysql / php server
with the fedora is a mix of a desktop / server
but i started on the desktop with the full blown AMP in the backend of the OS


if you pick the Ubuntu
make sure you install the SSH (openssh-server i believe the package is called) on the box to be able to use ssh
or you going to a shit of a time


what is the PWS appz you using on the w2k3 box for the web server
IIS ver 6 or apache ?

[Belicoso_Fino]

I use IIS6 on the WIn2003k box.

I'm getting tired of Windows and Microsoft. It's time I get back to my roots.

I appreciate the pointer to Ubuntu, I'll have to figure out what it is...

Cheers mate.

off topic here
thats IIS with PHP

is't that a tab slow on page loading or its not that slow now days
last time i try PHP on IIS or IIS with php
it was slower than apache / php on windows
but maybe thats was just me


anyway have fun with Ubuntu
( i play with both i would : the desktop to get the hand of the linux and stuff
but you can install the apache / mysql / php onto that as well )

but once you got the hang of the commands than jump over to the command only ver is the LAMP ver of it and happy going

You don't need to install ISPConfig if you don't want to.
