Wonder if anybody have server experience on sys 7.x I figure that an old Mac (classic os) makes a splendid server as it´s not the best for internet use anymore (old browsers). Iv´e tried WebStar a long time ago but think WebTen works best as a webserver with standard perl/php support. Heck, it should be called a MAMP (as in LAMP - Linux, Apache, MySql, Php) or a MAP (excluding the MySql). However, this is the one way to show eachotherour Macs... Go to dyndns.org and setup your own domains folks! |

Heh, that first sentence almost made me chuckle. Scroll all the way to the bottom of every page here at S7T and click the "7.6 Powered" badge.

Yes i did see the mark on the bottom. Although if i run a http header check on the subdomain for this forum (forums.system7today.com) i find that it´s an Apache server running on *nix... (For the domain "system7today.com", it´s a Mac) I was actually asking for some elaborated experience from people on this forum. Your experiences is apreciated and so is others.

Yes, as it says on the 7.6 Powered page... Mac OS 7 makes a great operating system for use as a file, web, and ftp server. In fact, all of the pages and images on this site (except the PHP-based forums) are hosted on a Power Mac 8100 running Mac OS 7.6.1. This server runs AppleShare IP 5 server software, which is commercial grade server software from Apple. Opinions of it? Well, if the uptime tracker on that page is any indication, the server is performing very well. The Power Mac hosting the site has been online for nearly a month now, without restarting. The only time it is down is when the Comcast goes out. The forums are hosted by Dreamhost, as I didn't think the 8100 was up to the task of generating content on the fly for this site.

Any good forum scripts that runs well on a Mac? AppleScript based or any other konveenient technology? I did find a Mac version of IIS (yes, from M$) on an old magazine cd. It´s a 68k version and it contained a guestbook script. Quite unstable on my IIsi (20mhz)! Not sure if i can find it now, it was some time ago.

I'm pretty rusty on my 68k stuff. My servers are all PowerPC.

I think the 8100 IS up to it cause it has a g3 upgrade. You might need a bit of ram. I would sugest WebTen (www.tenon.com) in the base of it as it can run php and perl scripts as is, whereas AppleShareIP runs MacPerl. MacPerl needs the scripts to format paths in a native Mac way like :catalog:subcatalog etc. You´d have to hack all prebuildt Perl scripts. WebTen emulates a unix environment and runs the scripts as is.

I have more faith in Apple's own server software for Mac OS 7.

WebTen is known to be faster and it has it´s own tcp/ip implementation. Pre 8.5 (or was it 8.6?) had slower speeds over ethernet . I´m sure Apples webserver has a splendid uptime, think i remember some security contest with an Apple webserver. It was finally breached due to a third party component (and NOT Apples software).
