Today at bytebenders I got the server up and running. Fully functional too, supports Perl, Python and Php4 on apache2. Also, ftp support for adding new (non-blog) users. Add a user to the system (via ssh or whatever) and their home dir is automatically populated with a public_html folder. They can then ftp into the box and put whatever they want in public_html and it can be accessed from /~username.
I like the server -- has a few issues with the firewall at the moment -- I forgot to make a rule to allow ftp and ssh through to that ip, but alas, 30 seconds of work tomorrow.
Also, will be working on a front page for it, so that there will be something a little more intuitive than an apache directory reading. Something that will allow the ~username dirs to show up as well. That's about an hour of work I think, and I can do that tomorrow as well.
Anyway, it is nice to have a static ip now. Just need a domain name, and I can do name based virtual hosting. That'll be nice...
Until next time, be safe
