I have a .mac account and was wondering if i can put a private forum up.
I don't know how or what software I need. But i do know how to make a php forum... code wise that is.
If there is any that'll run on OS X jaguar.

any thoughts or simple solutions?
 
phpBB looks nice and free. Runs on Apache/PHP/MySQL.

You'll have to check with the web hosting details in your .mac account to see if you get a database included in your web hosting plan, and enough bandwidth.
 
Nope, .mac does not like forum databases. If you are always online and have a stable net / ip (would be better), you could host it on your mac.
 
Hosting it from home also means you have to be sure your ISP doesn't block or prevent you from doing so.
 
oh well... my .mac or SBC accounts don't allow forum databases.

:(

i guess I'll just have to come up with something else.

thanks for the info anyways.

If you're still interested, I run a web hosting business and have dedicated servers located in a datacenter.

I offer mysql + php among other things. Perfect for forums.

I would suggest, to start and to get to know your server, mysql, and php really well, just go to www.no-ip.com and get a DNS alias client, and run phpBB 2 from your own iMac...
