1. Apache, PHP and MySQL on my USB Flash Drive!

    September 8, 2007 by Callum Haywood

    I admit it, I hate Apache, the whole idea of configuration files to edit. Abyss is the best web server in the world, but its not open source, so I can’t really use it on my USB Flash Drive. But Apache’ll have to do for now on my USB stick.

    Then phpMyAdmin decides that PHP isn’t going to load the “mysql” extension, how suprendous. Anyway a MySQL database isn’t really that important, since I’m not going to be carrying round my own personal phpBB forum or my WordPress blog in my pocket, am I?


  2. Long live my server…

    August 16, 2007 by Callum Haywood

    Yep, unfortunately last night, I thought my server had died on me. Abyss kept on crashing, I couldn’t even open Task Manager because it kept displaying the “Out of Memory” error message. Today, I forced a hard reboot, and finally; yes! My server now lives, and is serving a little slower that usual, but I need a hell of a RAM upgrade, if you didn’t know, my server currently has only 64MB, according to server expert, Andrew Whyman, this is no way near enough. He runs a server powering I think 4 of his own sites, using the same program as me, Abyss Web Server, but his server has a) a faster processor than mine and b) lots more RAM than mine, plus mine is a laptop, optimized for mobile use, obviously resulting in less power, so less speed, and so on. He very kindly offered to put me up on his server, but I declined, because I wanted to see if my server could survive on its own, obviously it has because otherwise you wouldn’t be seeing this.
