Does anyone use or know about FoxServ, PHP Home or Fireserv? Are they any good? They all seem to have Apache, PHP, MySQL..all the things I hear are good :D . I don't know if i need all of them or just Apache or what. Basically I want to upload a hell of a large size of files onto the internet which no hosting pack would ever offer so i figured i will have to do it on my own server. What software do i need for this?
I PM'd haxor41789 so as not to waste your time but i have been having a bit of trouble.

Need more info, such as OS, connection type, if you're running a home network, CPU speed, amount of RAM, access speed of hard drive (ms or RPM), etc.

Windows XP Pro, 512Kbps Broadband connection, home network with x-over cable between 2 computers (no router). P4 3Ghz Processor with HT Technology, 512MB RAM, 120GB 7200RPM hard drive.

have you got a good connection to support the sever ,n what do you want to do with the files,just for downloading? how big are they,i maybe be able to help with hosting :)
-
Thanks for the offer but i'm talking about 17GB and growing. I only need the server to be up temporarily at the beginning so i think that hosting from my computer would be a good idea.
I am trying to create a site that streams video.
(A question on an unrelated subject.....is there an HTML (tag/code/whatever) that makes the text you type in appear as ***** in the text box?)
-
you are gonna need serious bandwidth if your gonna be streaming video i think a home connection for that is a bit unrealistic. 17gigs is also alot of content i would not offer up that much unless its a ftp server for your mates.
if your using your home computer a small to medium site mainly dealing with text and images is all you can hope for really.
-
I'm only streaming it to a couple of friends (at one time). From what I know is that i need to upload the files to a web server (has to be my own because of file size) which i hope to do by FTP.
-
you should probably look for something like shoutcast but for video.
you will not need to run a webserver just the server software they give you to upload the file to them.
hopefully someone will be able to recommend you such a service.

There's no way you're streaming video to anyone on that connection. With 512K d/l I'm assuming 256K u/l and that nothing for serving up video.
And about that code...
Code:
<textarea id="censorMe" onchange="censor();">
</textarea>
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function censor()
{
var censorMe=document.getElementById("censorMe");
var out="";
for(var i=0;i<censorMe.length();i++)
{
var temp=censorMe.charAt(i);
if (temp!="*")
{
temp="*";
}
out+=temp;
}
document.getElementById("censorMe")=out;
}
</script>

oh well....thanks anyway.
But I'd still like to learn how to use an Apache server. See first post.
