New on MWeb! - There’s now a forum on mweb powered by phpbb2.  Check It Out.  REGISTER! and Leave any suggestions you think of…

All the MWeb services have been running on the new server for about 2 weeks now, but I’ve had tons of problems that are mostly my fault… I just last night at about 3am got the php-mysql extention installed so that I could use wordpress, phpmyadmin, etc.  The problem came from the fact that SuSE10 came with php4-something and mysql 4.1.13 methinks.  I wanted to have the most recent packages, including php5.1.12 and mysql5.0.18.  To acheive this, I went into yast and added the Factory tree of OSS SuSE as my install source.  Seemed like an OK thing to do, as I could get the latest packages and their required dependencies, no problem.

Well there were problems, aka dependency nightmare. Long story short, YaST’s software manage is screwed up bigtime.  Check out this post on Linuxquestions.org.  So I ended up just using smart to install the latest mysql and php-mysql extention, to get by.  There’s a lot of fine-tuning I’d like to do yet.

 To do:

• Install Backup Drive
• Setup cron backup jobs
• Re-write MTA startup script using LSB stuff

New Features on MWeb!

• mta server:   MWeb is a dedicated server for MTA:SA (Multi-Theft Auto mod for San Andreas)  Email Alex or Myself (change the [at] to @ and [dot] to . )  if you’d like access info.
• ventrilo server:  MWeb is also hosting a ventrilo server. Again, Email Alex or Myself (change the [at] to @ and [dot] to . )  if you’d like access info.
• SPEED!  This thing is now running on a P4 2.4Ghz with 512MB RAM.  If you’d like something hosted, but have no server, Email me, and we’ll see if we can help you out.  Nothing Bandwidth-intensive, as we’re on a 5MBps RoadRunner connection. Small MySQL Databases, or simple PHP scripts are fine.

Ok last night i got SuSE 10 installed and some config files copied over to alex’s old dell. More tonight?
