uberSCHUMI Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Total newb here. I was granted access to a development web server (Unix) using PHP/MySQL. I was searching the net for things like portals and CMS's and I did not know if there are server configurations that need to be applied in order to run some/most of these programs on the dev web server. Since I am not an admin on the server and they won't take requests to modify the machine/software, I will be severely limited as to what I can actually do to/on this server.Clarify:If I downloaded a misc PHP portal or CMS, would I simply be allowed (in most cases) to lay out the directory structure and copy it to the web server, or would I have to perform an actual install of software? I guess that totally depends on the software I choose, but I was looking for a "in most cases" answer. The database isn't a major concern of mine, because I would hope I could follow simple instructions for configuring and connecting to it. You may see me writing about that later though. ;)I'm going to search this site some more to get more information, but does anyone have a suggestion for a portal/CMS open source program?Thanks in advance.

taith Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 it really depends on the program your using... what i suggest, is create an admin account, and a user account to see both of the controls they have... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
