 Thanks Matthew;

No problems! :D

 Go my Linux and Apache web server up and running with virtual servers. Have
 the new Sun Solaris Version 9 for Intel processors with Media kit. 

You brave man! Solaris?!

 I'm
 building another computer to put another web server on it. 

If it's going to be another *nix Box, may I recommened Gentoo Linux?
(http://www.gentoo.org).  I recommend using the Gentoo Reference
Platform to install, as it speeds up the time taken (a couple of hours
instead of a couple of days!), and it means that you learn loads ( you
have to boot strap the system and partition the disks yourself!) and you
have system that only runs the very basics.

You then connect to the internet, pref using *DSL or ISDN, and simply
emerge[1] the programs you want installed.

It works very well, my current uptime is 11 days, it would be more, but
I switched to Kernel 2.6.0-test8 about a fortnight ago.

The install guide is brilliant, there are loads of support forums (I'd
recommend checking them out even if you're not running gentoo:
http://forums.gentoo.org/) and it will run on pretty much any box.  I've
got it running on my old laptop, a PII 400MHz with 64Mb Ram!

If there's anything you want a hand with, just gimme a shout.

Cheers,

Matt

BOFH Excuse #109: The electricity substation in the car park blew up.

[1] emerge is Gentoo's package management system. No more worrying if the 
dependancies are installed or not, emerge works it out from the install file and
fetches and installs all the correct versions!

A quick example: 

emerge mod_php would install:

apache (1 or 2)
gdlib
zlib
mysql
xml
and a few others if needed.

I think its brilliant! :D

I'll second that brave soul. I've been trying to get the webserver in OS X
10.2 setup to do something other than just server index.html and other
static pages. Apple's documentation is really piss poor. 

Don't know a whole lot about OS X, but maybe looking at the 
documentation for BSD will help, since it's based on that.

Check out the Linux website (http://www.linux.org/), it should have a
list, here in the UK, most areas have a LUG (Linux User Group) that also
has a mailing list very much like this one.  The one here in Sussex also
has regular meetings (ina  pub, with wireless internet!) to chat to each
other face to face as well as the email support that we all provide.

FWIW, the website for LUGs in the UK is www.lug.org.uk not sure if
there's an American version of this site, but I'm sure there'll be
American LUGs out there somewhere! :D

HTH,

Go my Linux and Apache web server up and running with virtual servers. Have
the new Sun Solaris Version 9 for Intel processors with Media kit. I'm
building another computer to put another web server on it. I thought it
would be nice to chat with some linux/unix guru's. I'm going to use my II5
with Windows 2000 for Microsoft type application web development. Three web
servers should be enough for now. :)

Thanks again,
