Installing Joomla! on your Mac

Submitted by Bryan on June 2, 2008 - 5:43am

JoeJoomla: "The simplest way to develop a Joomla! site on your local Mac OS X computer is by using MAMP. MAMP is short for Macintosh, Apache, MySQL, PHP. MAMP works just like an application. It is released under the GNU General Public License. You can download MAMP from Living-e AG. The download page can be found HERE.

Current MAMP versions require Mac OS X 10.4.x. If you're running Mac OS X 10.3.x you can download an earlier version of MAMP 1.4.1 (universal binary), for Intel and PowerPC."

Web Server - Windows Server 2008

Submitted by Bryan on February 27, 2008 - 1:26pm

"Whereas Vista has been a PR disaster, it is unlikely that its cousin
Server 2008 will meet the same fate. There are solid improvements over
the predecessor Server 2003, including IIS 7.0, granular installation,
improved terminal services, the Server Core, command-line control, and
changes to Active Directory. Hyper-V is nicely done, and although it is
nothing special in relation to competing products from VMWare and
others, its integration and neat tools will win users when it comes out
of beta."

Professional PHP: Working with PHP 5 in Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

Submitted by Bryan on October 31, 2007 - 10:06am

"Mac OS X is a great development platform for working with PHP. Leopard comes with Apache, PHP and many other development tools, such as subversion already installed. Leopard brings a much needed upgrade from Tiger's tired PHP 4 to a very modern version of PHP 5.2.4. This is a guide for setting up a PHP development environment under 10.5 using the version of PHP that ships with leopard."

Which would you choose? - Plone, Apache Lenya, or Nuxeo 5

Submitted by Bryan on May 29, 2007 - 5:13am

The message below was originally posted as a comment here at CMS Report. Unfortunately, the comment was posted while I was switching the site over to a new server and just before the Memorial weekend holiday here in the United States. I'm afraid very few people saw the comment so I thought it should get more attention by posting the comment onto the "front page".

The author has narrowed his choice of content management systems for his project down to Plone, Apache Lenya, and Nuxeo 5. I'm not a user of any of the CMS listed so hopefully if you're reading this post you can spend a few minutes helping him out.

If you had to choose only one of the three CMS based on his requirements for the project he describes below...which CMS (Plone, Apache Lenya, and Nuxeo 5) would you choose? Please leave your comments belows!

Donncha: The real way to improve server performance

Submitted by CMS Report on May 28, 2007 - 7:05pm
"If you want to improve server performance, the best way is to move as much of the processing off it and onto the client machine. All those visitors of yours are running souped up AMD and Intel CPUs with their big screens and fat harddrives. No wonder your small little hosting plan can’t keep up. Here are some very good ideas from a Slashdot comment I read this morning."

cPanel 11: Newest version of the control panel coming soon

Submitted by Bryan on April 24, 2007 - 4:05am
When I originally started hosting my own sites on a server (VPS/VDS), I opted for the easy way to manage those sites by using an online control panel. I originally started with Plesk but eventually moved to cPanel. cPanel at the time seemed to be the control panel everyone was talking about. However, I quickly found that although I liked cPanel it seemed to be dated by the fact that its primary web server support was for Apache 1.x. Support for Apache 2.x was promised in the next version of the control panel, cPanel 11, so I waited patiently for its arrival.

After waiting for months, I found myself waiting even more for a stable version of cPanel 11 to arrive. I began to wonder if it was not time to take another look at Plesk. So just when I've almost given up on cPanel, the company has finally started to publicly announced that cPanel is coming soon.

cPanel 11 promises to bring a lot of improvements for users. The following are some of the highlights I am most excited to see in cPanel 11:

IT Quote of the Week

Submitted by Bryan on August 3, 2006 - 5:44pm

"The results we saw with the WAMP [Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP] stacks were probably the biggest surprise in our entire test. Enterprise IT managers shouldn't hesitate to look into the option of deploying open-source stacks on a Windows Server platform.

For some businesses, this will truly be the best of both worlds."

Netcraft: Strongest Growth of Internet Sites, Ever

Submitted by Bryan on June 8, 2006 - 11:37pm

Netcraft, reports that last month saw the largest increase of sites ever since it began the surveys. The reason for the jump? They say partially it was due to blogging sites:

The Internet experienced its strongest site growth ever last month, powered by a surge in blogs and free web sites. In the June 2006 survey we received responses from 85,541,228 sites, a gain of 3.96 million sites from the May report. This is the largest one-month increase in sites in the history of the Netcraft survey, surpassing a gain of 3.3 million in March 2003, although the 2003 gain was larger in percentage terms (8.5%, compared to 4.7% this month).

You can read more about it in their June 2006 Web Server Survey.
