I mirrored it last week, hopefully it all works well.


Is BasicLinux the platform for the server?
If so, please tell us a bit about it.

Cheers,
Steven

Yep, the server is running BasicLinux 3.22. It's a Pentium 75mhz (no MMX) with 64MB of RAM.

How I did it:
-deleted all of X, some games, and some other stuff I knew I wouldn't be needing
-found a light httpd called mini_httpd ( http://www.acme.com/software/mini_httpd ), made some slight modifications to work with BasLinux (it wants to be a user other than root, so I had to comment out that part of the code), and statically compiled it on my regular Linux box (alot more modern, has full XF86, etc., running BLAG 10000, a Fedora Core 1 variant, and then copied it over and started it), copied it over and ran it
-found a light telnet daemon, utelnetd, and modified it a little too (no login, just kicks you straight into a shell), compiled, copied, etc.
-copied website content over
-I now have the rest of the website on a CD-RW, (everything in the /cd/ folder on my server is on the CD)
-wrote scripts to copy everything over and start it up
-everything for my website is in the /usr/X11R6/ directory now, including webserver and telnet daemon

That's how its done, plus I modified BasLinux to prompt me to add a disk 3 that I've created that contain all the scripts, etc. and the webserver/telnet daemon, so that it will run the script on disk 3 to copy everything over.

It's quite a good setup if you ask me, although it took forever to figure out. If anybody wants my modified telnet daemon, or mini_httpd, they're on my webserver in the /cd/assorted/linux/ directory, along with a few other goodies (the ones modified by me are noted as being modified. I release all my changes for utelnetd and mini_httpd under the GPL).

Thanks,

Stephen Clement
