Title: What hardware/software do you use to run this forum application?
Post by: thenoob1 on January 20, 2007, 10:44:10 am

Hi

A friend of mine wants to build up a forum... (he is a stock exchange brocker) and has already his own website. It runs on a Microsoft server with sql. Does J river also use Microsoft things or is linux in use? 
My friend looked into it and he says that there should be no problem to build it up with Microsoft server and sql.

Based on the line at the bottom, this appears to be a free and possibly open-source forum.  There is little reason for utilizing a commercial forum since you can get great forum software for free.  Click the SMF link and read more.

Most common config to use is:

Linux Server
Apache Web server
mySQL DB back end
PHPBB, or other similar open source BB.

Ubuntu Server has basically an automated LAMP installation (Linux, Apache, MySQL, & PHP).  I like to think of the P as perl because that's my primary language I work in.

SINNERRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

P = PHP, end of!! ;) lol.

Have you tried PHP, I've heard if you work with Perl its extremely easy to use as from what I've heard, it sort of came from Perl with a lot of the syntax.
