tibberous Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Today I woke up to dead site - the DNS service had failed, and after an hour of panicked calling, my hosting company replugged it in or something and fixed it. I have a server that I am planning to colocate, but I don't know a lot about it, and it takes time. I have to install a server OS, setup my raid card, setup my DNS, ffmpeg, image magick, ect, ect. Is there maybe a good book or something that would get me up to speed on DNS'es and Servers - at least to the extent that a PHP programmer should know DNS'es and Servers?

corbin Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 30 minutes on Wikipedia, and you'll know how the whole domain system works. As for "Servers" in general, it would depend on the OS for most things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I wouldn't call Wikipedia an extensive resource to the entire subject of DNS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I wouldn't either by any means, but it makes for a good over view if I remember correctly. You won't learn how to configure name servers or anything from Wikipedia, but if you want an overview of how the system works (computer queries DNS server... blah blah) then it works.
