Yeah... not too zippy here. Around 20secs for all the jpgs to finally load up on the main site (nice site... but some layout problems visible for me... could be IE though! LOL). And 10secs or so for t ...

You have created the database name (using phpMyAdmin probably), haven't you? You must do this before running the phpBB install routine.
Other than that, make sure you are typing the correct info into ...

The word "garish" springs to mind. Don't get me wrong... It's a great idea. You and Trust will help the Abyss community hugely, I'm sure. But the colour scheme just makes me want to click away... imme ...

nope...

How about posting a link???

Hi, Rob!
You don't need to populate the db (phpbb does that itself wehen you run the install). All you do is create a nemed database, and that's it!
John Mc

Heh!
OK... maybe that should have read
as secure a setup as you need for phpbb!
until the next script kiddie finds another exploitable hole in php/phpbb/whatever script you choose...

I think he's talking bollox... and I'm sure phpBB.com would be very happy to hear his opinion that
it has bugger all security....
However, I think I know what he is referring to... "Automatic Dire ...

Hi, Mick!
Hello from windy Hartlepool, UK.
Couple of quick q's to assess your "un-hackability"... Are you using the current version (2.0.11) of phpBB? Have you set the image verification tool for re ...

Hmmm.... "adverage".

Well...
As 'moose said earlier, your box will probably cope OK with serving a couple of small (and not heavily visited) sites... it's the "UPSTREAM" that is your limiting factor.
TBH, even on a hot ...

120 gigs worth... I should think. Your box is not the major issue here. It's your internet connection. Specifically, the UP/DOWN file transfer capabilities. What connection are you using? Dial-up? Cab ...

Works fine for me on 98SE. OK, 98 OS's are not acknowledged as being the best option for running a server, but hey! It works!

Hi, Gabe.
The easiest way to get up and running is to install phpMyAdmin to your server in order to manage databases. There's a great tutorial in the Abyss Forums Tutorials section for this. Once it ...

... to run a pc permanently? (in the UK?).
My wife is convinced that running my server 24/7 is costing us a packet! But I've seen figures which reckon that running a modern pc permanently should cost ...

Thanks, Moxxnixx.
That's just what I intend to do... as soon as I get some time off work!
OK... maybe it's time for a bit of Webserver 101 here... I confess that once I got Abyss up and running, I s ...

Hey all! Hope you can help!
I set up a small site for a buddy's bike club (http://www.borderwings.co.uk) and I'm hosting it on my box... using Abyss of course! Recently my ethernet card went kablooie ...

Hi, Simon!
I use 98se in my box, hosting a couple of sites using Abyss. As far as I can remember, I simply followed the tut's on this site and got everything up and running without any problems (incl ...

I noticed your website is not Abyss powered

Hi, inanim!
Did you mean me? Both of the sites I mentioned to Rosie are hosted on my box using Abyss! I don't use any "Powered by..." logos, if that's w ...

OK, Rosie...
Try this... you probably have Abyss set up with the usual IP-based alias (i.e. you type in http://12.123.12.123 or whatever and Abyss shows the index file for your first site - found at ...

I don't want to have anything at the end of my domaine name ecept .com
Rosie... that's exactly the point! If you have reg'd a new .com address, you will most likely have an on-line control panel (alm ...

Hey guys (and gals!),
This is probably a pretty dumb question (and shoot me down in flames if it is!), but why doesn't Rosie simply create each site inside it's own folder in htdocs, then point her d ...

Thanks, guys, for the suggestions.
@TRUST : That's exactly what I do: Abyss is running, on leaving for work in the a.m., I switch off the monitor, leaving the box running.
I've adjusted my "power se ...

Hi, all!
Has anyone suffered from this problem? I (and other users) have often tried to access my sites from outside, only to get error pages (leading me to suspect a server crash). On returning home ...

Hi, everyone!
I'm running Abyss on my W98se box (and it works a dream! Thanks Aprelium!).
Strange problem last night - I powered down my box to do some maintenance, switching off Abyss and Mysql ser ...

Hi, all!
Has anyone noticed the FREE FOR 3 YEARS hosting offer on http://www.1and1.com? Available (I think) only for US/Canada residents.

However, I must say, 14k hits in three days is pretty damned respectable! Word up!
John Mc

Given that there are 86,400 seconds in ONE 24hr period, this would mean 259,200 hits per day, Karasu! And subsequently, in excess of 777,600 over 3 days plus your extra minutes...
I don't see that in ...

I'm confused!
I've pwd-protected the virtual path to phpMyAdmin using the Abyss console tool (creating myself as the only user with access allowed).
I've also pwd-protected MYSQL using phpMyAdmin (A ...

Sorry, guys! This is probably really dumb, but I'm lost for ideas. I'm a complete noob with anything php and really am looking for guidance, 'coz I'm sure I'm doing something stoopid!

Thanx - sorted it out!
Bit the bullet and deleted the directories... All going smoothly now!

Heh!

Hi, All!
Big-time noob here - first time EVER playing with anything like this. So... problem is... I followed the tut's on here and got everything working OK (mysql,phpadmin etc). I even finally figu ...
