Hi Shawn,

3 options.

1. Do a lot a reading / trial and error. Sounds like that's what you're
trying to get away from.
2. Download and install (and eventually buy) a package like ensim
(www.ensim.com) , plesk (www.plesk.com) , or cpanel (www.cpanel.net) . These
are packages that allow you do %99 of your web hosting sys admin needs via a
web browser interface. Most of them have a trial version as well.
3. Find a sys admin who will do the work for you in exchange for
access/usage of the machine.

I myself have been toying with the idea of a dedicated server myself for a
while.
I'm curious as to who you picked and why.

Thanx,
Ophir

Subject: [nycphp-talk] bsd apache php mysql help


> i've been a php developer for years and at several points i've had access
to dedicated servers with sys admins that were friends of mine, now that's
not the case since i just moved to the new york area. okay here it goes. i
got tired of having to build scripts to perform tasks on site that could be
handled much much better if my hosting co. would just would just make a few
minor changes to php.ini. example sessions in a database and not a file in
the tmp dir . to work around this i had to spend hours creating a session
script myself not even touching php sessions. so finally i broke down and
got a dedicated server. now i just realized why i left this up to people
basck home. please help. i have no idea where to begin. i need to add users,
create virtual hot accounts, install ming and other php extensions, install
mysql, config ftp, etc...
> i'm freaking out here, cause i'm trying to follow a book i got, but it
jumps around to much to be clear. oh, php, apache, ftp, sendmail, it's all
there and installed on freebsed 4.7
