Hi,

This is a general announcement to say that there will be a brief outage to the Alug web site (and for that matter - any other web site currently hosted with myself) while I convert from Zeus to Apache. The principle reason for this is that it's not going to be cost effective for me to run the Zeus server anymore - particularly now that Zeus have moved over to an annual support contract for the most part. If anybody is looking to use the Zeus server in their organisation and would like a cheap license - then contact me ;)

Hurrah! I see a certain list admins (Mark, stop gloating) opinions of you raising as I type. A free web server thats how we like it :o)

Therefore, it's back to good old Apache, hopefully as from tomorrow evening. I'll be running version 1.3.19 with all the trimmings, including PHP 4.0.6 for anybody that needs it, and mysql support (which may infuriate a few).

PHP **shudder**, MySQL **Shudder Shudder**

Are you running the machines as a load of virtual servers? I have just been told the firewall at uni only lets out port 80 and 443 which is kind of annoying.

With regards to the Postgres database that has been suggested - I will definately install this within the next couple of weeks when I get a chance to sit down and play it with properly. I'll then open it up for anybody that wants a fiddle with it.

Fantastic. <fx action="add another beer the one I already owe Martyn">

As stated before - if any members want web space/email - just shout. I'll try to set everything up within 24 hours depending on what's going on (I've my wedding to plan (invites still going out, need to book marquee, etc, etc.) amongst many, many other things).

Can recommend this, very cool.

Heck, maybe even create a small form on the main Alug web site that'll email me the details of requested web hosting and it'll email me the details for processing. What do people think?

Thanks

Regards,

Martyn
