Good luck indeed!

I&acute;m sure it&acute;s not a light task but with all my C++ experience and relentless dedication I think I&acute;ll succeed :-) <br /> <br />keep trackin&acute; @ http://www.movietrack.net

Hi georgiek50, <br /> <br />If you are interested, you may find this one to your liking: <br /> <br />http://www.phpwebthings.org <br /> <br />Already up and running <br /> <br />John <br />

Thanks for that.

Hi georgiek50, <br /> <br />I can suggest you this freeware scripts for manage webpage: http://www.skintech.org/newman/ <br /> <br />and there is also frontend part http://www.skintech.org/webmag <br /> <br />We&acute;re using similiar system here at skinbase :)

Wow, those look great, looks like they will save me a lot of time. One question, those two scripts look like they contain basically everything I&acute;m looking for - news posting w/ user comments and a general user management system. How customizable is the HTML aspect of this? Also, are there any scripts like this that manage link tracking, and general website stats? <br /> <br />Thanks for the heads up.

That reminds me. Have you ever taken a look at this: http://e107.org/ ? Might be just what you are looking for. Or at least something to take a part.

WOW, that looks so cool, I love the admin panel as well!!!!

Can anyone point me to some links as to running these scripts from my hard drive for testing purposes? I have installed the Apache server and PHP/MySQL but I can&acute;t get the scripts to run...I have tried running them w/ Iexplorer and PHP.exe w/ no luck. What stupidity am I doing here?

Apache and MySQL are servers, so you need to have them running before you can do anything with them. PHP is a module of Apache, so it will be ran anytime Apache encounters a .php file. <br /> <br />First start MySQL: run either mysqld.exe or mysqld-nt.exe (in the &acute;bin&acute;-directory of you MySQL installation). Then start Apache, by running apache.exe. Assuming you&acute;ve set everything up alright, you should now open up a browser and head for http://127.0.0.1/ or http://localhost/ which should give you the default intro page. <br /> <br />Now, drop whatever script you have into your webroot (ergo: somewhere in one of the subfolders of whatever folder you set Apache to use as webroot) and just navigate to it from your browser. <br /> <br />Note that you can&acute;t run php-scripts by just clicking on them in your file manager, nor can you drag &acute;em onto or open them from your browser. You have to approach them as if they were sites. So in the case of e107, if you installed that into a folder called &acute;e107&acute; in your webroot, just point your browser to http://localhost/e107/ and then and only then will the scripts be ran. <br /> <br />It&acute;s not as difficult as it sounds, just some things that are not that intuitively to figure out.

Thanks for that...I didn&acute;t initially realize that I had to treat the php files as web addresses :)
