Re: Reverse proxy with Apache on Windows? (Scripting News)

Have you tried adding the apache directory to the PATH environment variable? Then you'll be able to just type "httpd" from the command line.

We use ASPJpeg (www.aspjpeg.com) for our image resizing. Unfortunately I suspect it needs IIS to run.

You say that last time you set up IIS you had issues. What version was that, as the latest version is fairly secure out of the box. We're a microsoft shop and I can guarantee that there are no warez on my servers.

I've used the toolbar, but on admin systems.

A friend of mine has done this: http://www.richardbenson.co.uk/projects/yui-ric... but obviously you'll need MovableType installed to test it.

YUI = Awesome. Pretty simple to use. Ish. But well worth it.

Another vote for 1 and 1. Although I think can get a dedicated server from them from about $120 a month.

Glad someone else notices the irony that even though he's "stopped blogging" he's written 2 posts in the past couple of weeks.

As an outsider looking in (I'm from the UK) I was wondering why they call him President Bill Clinton, when he is in fact an ex-president?

I really want to be able to install windows 2003/8 to an amazon ECS. 2008 would be perfectly as you can specifically run it as a headless system.

No, you're confusing it with Fight Club.

No. No ninjas. That's the first rule of OpenBook.

I like the idea. But I think there are three ways, not two for doing this:

1. Standard SN that you would host.
2. An application that people could download and install on their own web host, like WP, that would hook into the main network.

But the extra one (and I think this would be the most exciting, but maybe that's just because I'm geeky like that) is to expose an API to allow people to create their own interface and "add-ons" to the network. Not entirely unlike facebook's applications, except without the ninjas :P

Be interested to see which you go for. I'm going down the same route at the moment.

Although I won't be able to organise any party (I wouldn't know where to start), I'd be very interested in coming along.
