Thank you Henry. And yes, a few have indeed said something to me.
This present server was a classroom machine at the ISP where Fizz works.
We changed hard drives, set up Linux, mySQL, PHP, vBulletin, and the first time around, as you all know, failed.
Fizz then did a reload, as I was on the road that day, and he got it up and going in its present incarnation.
Its Fizz who got me into this PHP stuff, and the mySQL.
But, he's definately more adept at it, thats for sure.
I just helped bring this together, and offered my board as a sacrificial lamb
Hehe, I'm STILL activating alot of the people who signed up but couldn't get in, but had to wait until MY forums overhaul was complete.
I'm reserving final say on the size of the processor, until I actually go buy the chip, as I want to get Morrus the fastest 1.5Ghz + processor I can get. It will be an XP chip.
Morrus can probably start thinking if he wants an addy like :
http://boards.enworld.com
where he points DNS at the box's IP addy, or if he wants us to do somethhing on our end.
I will be going to Western Union tomorrow, to check on the funds Morrus sent out.
Once they are received, I build the box on one day, burn it in for 24 hours, and its ready on the 3rd day for OS install, and configuration.
So, its most likely going online by the end of this coming week.
Remember this, tho. mySQL, and PHP are not FULLY BLOWN rocket science yet, so, expect a few bumps, and if theres not, then its even better.
