Yeah..heavy stuff here.. Long story short, trying to make a simple file upload site to my webserver, and Apache is a bitch and requires you to install PHP. Did that, but when I change the config file to LOAD the dang PHP it conks out..no errors.. any ideas? OR Is there a way to make this shit without php? ..preferably?
Wait...all you want to do is have a working FTP server? Nothing else? No forums, no scripts, just FTP? Then you don't need PHP at all. PHP is for running scripts. I'm assuming you're running Apache on a Linux server? What kind of Linux? CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian? Setting up FTP is easy. Keeping it safe and free from rootkits isn't.
Nope. Windows. The basic end result will allow people to see a simple upload forum to upload PNG files to a windows server. Exactly like this site: http://theminequest.com/node/45
well you can do it in PHP but not required ANY language would work.. I have created several using Perl, C, C++, Ruby+rails etc.. It all boils down to exactly what you need and how complex you want to make it. PHP will be restricted to file upload size via php.ini, so if you want LARGE files then you need to adjust it In the end it is a rendered html file wit a form that posts to a backed script (php/perl/...) Check this out to setup PHP on windows with apache.. Then its making sure perms are correct and creating the pages. http://www.configure-all.com/apachephpmysql.php You could also use IIS, enable FTP setup perms and hand them out. Another alternative is using something like WS_FTP Server, WarFTPD or Serv-U FTP Server to setup / configure a FTPD server under windows for which you allow external users to ftp files to.
