Hey...you need a webserver? I can host, but my internet's been screwy lately. It'll be fixed soon, and I will take care of FTP, then I can become a professional hoster. But for now, bear in mind that I don't think you're going to find any *free* PHP/MySQL webservers. I was looking, and I decided, what the heck, I'll make my own! :lol:

I do believe its %apachectl start where % is the prompt. For free webspace w/ PHP and MySQL, its going to be very hard. Both require some setup that aren't provided with free services. If you're willing to put out some money, I know a very good webserver.

PHP that supports MySQL is a PAIN to set up. You need to recompile PHP every time you need a new module. Took me a couple days. Wu-FTP is a pain as well.

Its only tricky if you have a little Unix background. All those configures and makes can make your head spin. Here's a couple of tips.
1) Go to Webmonkey.com and use the tutorials on setting up PHP and MySQL. They are a great help.
2) Install Apache, PHP, and MySQL ALL AT THE SAME TIME. That way they all play together.
3) Get a version of *nix that has packages. That way, if you want PHP, MySQL or WuFTP, you install the package and it works. Or find a webhost that has it installed aready. Any good webhost should have PHP/MySQL installed. If not, they're running IIS and they're not a good webhost</end M$ rant> Or Buy a Mac!!!!

Hey Master Kenzo, is your internet problems because you have Comcast HighSpeed Internet? I'm just wondering because ours has been horrible for the last 2 weeks.

I used lycos.uk to set up my Oekaki board... It needs mySQL and PHP support too... That could work...

Update for those of you interested: Hosting is fully set up...PM me if you want a piece, I've got tons of space. As long as it is not anything inappropriate or copyrighted, then I'm OK with it.

And no, here in Ajax we have "durham.net" service.

If you like to play around, it's quite possible to install php and mysql in windows as well.

I have my sig images hosted through 100webspace (you could see it if sigs were enabled), and I used that site for some of my online classes.

It has php/perl/mysql

Dhost.biz is good, not a lot of space and bandwidth though. I do not trust them with the paid stuff, only free, don't buy a domain from them. I've had a not-so-pleseant experience with them and paypal. But the quality is really good.
