apache web server setup software
July 5, 2011 | 
Author So at about 1am this morning, Burst.Net finally got my server up and running for me to use. Unfortunately for me, I was already sleeping and I had work today so I wasn’t able to actually play with it until tonight. Like other VPS’s and dedicated servers out there, the server is usually bare boned with no software except the operating system. For me I decided to use CentOS 5 64-bit edition to get my web server up and running. Burst.NET had Apache 2 pre-installed on my VPS for me but that was pretty much about it. So I had to scramble around and search for an easy way to install Mysql and PHP to go with my Linux Apache server.
After some searching, I realized that it is really easy because Linux CentOS 5 comes pre-bundled with Yum. Yum is a feature that allows you to download and install software automatically. It will determine all of the dependencies and take care of the rest. I determined which packages I needed and sent off my command:
yum install php php-mysql mysql-server php-gd postgres ImageMagick ImageMagick-devel
This determined all of the dependencies and installed PHP and Mysql on my CentOS Linux server! It was so easy!! I just needed to give Apache a reboot and php was pretty much up and running. To give it a test, I just wrote a simple line of code in /var/www/html/test.php.
phpinfo();
Then visit yourhost/test.php If your php server is setup correctly, this should output all of the information about your php install and the different components that were installed with it. It will give you a list of all your configurations and plugins that are enabled.
The next step was getting mysql up and running. After the yum install, the daemon is not automatically started so you will need to start it yourself. You can start the mysql daemon but running the following command:
service mysqld start
If everything goes well, the service should start without a hitch and it will give you a list of directions for first time users. One of the most important things to do now is to set a password for the root user in mysql. Again just like everything else it is just a simple 1 liner to change the mysql password:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password ‘mynewpassword’
Thats it! After only a few simple commands in Linux, I was able to get a bare-boned CentOS 5 system up and running with a full LAMP install. This process will take a max of 5 minutes to complete. But for me.. I was busy googling it took me about 30 minutes to an hour.. so hopefully this will help you.

Zephyr is pleased to announce the support of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with its PASSPORT Host Integration Objects (HIO) software. PASSPORT HIO offers a programmatic method of integrating 3270 and 5250 legacy applications with .NET and other web or server-based applications.

You need to visit the WordPress website and download the most recent WordPress codex. It will be present in .tar, .gz or .zip format.
Next, you need to do is make an empty MySQL database on the web hosting server.
You need to add a user to your database and grant him all the privileges.
In order to install WordPress, you can make a directory, such as wp1 or something similar on the website hosting server under the public HTML file
Go to the downloaded codex and extract it to any location on your hard disk drive.
You need to add the file structure to the wp1 directory that you created on the web server.
Next, you need to define all the permissions on the folders starting from wp1 all the way to (chmod 755 wp1)
You need to rename the file wp-confi-sample.php to wp-config.php and then open the file and add all the user information and also add the MySQL database name.
Open a web browser and type the following web address in order to initiate the launcher so as to finish your WordPress installation: http://www.yourwebsite.com/wp1/wp-admin/install.php
The WordPress installation procedure will take only a few minutes to complete and you will be provided with instructions to guide you to successfully complete the installation. After this, you will then need to verify the login details and database information.

HELIOS UB+ adds Support for VMware, Microsoft, and IBM server Virtualization
HELIOS UB+ adds Support for VMware, Microsoft, and IBM server Virtualization
Hannover Germany (PRWEB) February 4, 2009
HELIOS Software GmbH announced it has released full server virtualization support for VMware, Microsoft, and IBM. As a leading developer of cross-platform networking, PDF, and image server solutions for Mac, Windows, and web clients, all HELIOS server products, including the WebShare, EtherShare, and PCShare cross-platform file and print server solutions, are now fully supported in virtual machine (VM) environments.
Virtualization has become a critical technology as demand for IT services increases, while energy and other costs necessitate a reduction in server hardware. Systems such as VMware ESX server, Microsoft Hyper-V, and IBM PowerVM allow running multiple “virtual machine” guest systems on a server. Several instances of Linux, Windows, and Solaris can run simultaneously on the same server hardware, allowing consolidation of servers, adding hardware flexibility and better efficiency, while retaining isolation of services.
Now, HELIOS has added additional support to ensure that HELIOS Server Solution products running in a virtual machine work with high availability. The load balancing options of the virtualization vendors are supported as well, allowing for the most flexible usage of given hardware resources. Exporting and importing entire VMs allows quickly moving an entire server configuration to new hardware.
“Consolidation of servers, higher availability, more hardware flexibility and resource efficiency can be accomplished using virtualization”, according to HELIOS CEO Helmut Tschemernjak, who adds, “This is demanded by customers worldwide. We are glad to announce that the major vendors of server virtualization, namely VMware, Microsoft and IBM, are fully supported with our HELIOS UB+ server solutions.”

Smart Ideas for Better Networking

HELIOS UB+ Unbreakable Server Solutions deliver mission critical server solutions to enterprise, government, university, and prepress sites. WebShare, EtherShare, and PCShare provide integrated cross-platform networking for Mac, Windows and Web clients, with advanced file and print server services, and easy remote server administration.
