Hello,
I am trying to get vBulletin setup on my test server to start working on integrating my existing site into the vb membership database and so forth.
As I am also new to apache.. I wonder if you could indulge me a bit on setting things up properly.
I am running on RedHat linux with apache 1.3.22. As the machine is here at home at the moment, I am using interal IPs (192.168.0.200). I want to install 2 virtual domains on this machine as when the machine is live it will continue to be my development machine. I want to have 1 as the test for my existing site, and one for the sitewhere I am integrating things.
Apache 1.3.22 normally places html files here: /var/www/html/
Would you suggest I put my directories below the ./html or at the same level?
The only thing that *should* change on this machine when it goes live is the IP numbers.
I have another machine that will be my live production machine. As I have lots of other html files that will be served by this site I plan on using the compression abilities of apache - as I will want to compress the entire site, not just vbulletin, should I *not* install the zip libraries mentioned as required to turn compression on within vBulletin? Or are those still possibly needed?
Any other heads up I need to worry about? Hopefully I have about 2 weeks to get these machines all configured correctly before I head to the co-lo place to bring them online. As the co-lo is about 6000 miles from me, I really need to get this right the first time
Thanks
Dale
p.s. I have printed out the long message about setting apache/php up and am wading through that.
