HI all, I would be extremely appreciative with solution suggestions to the problem I am having.
I really could use some help right now !! I am trying to get a database driven website up and running that has some amount of security on it (which i intend to make progresively better). It needs user/pwd access to a database of info, after a subscription fee is paid. Currently I am having trouble setting up the basic structure. By the way this is a starup company, and only 5- 10 subscriptions would fund much better software / hardware / server for the site. So my goal is to set up something inexpensive to get those 5 or so subscriptions. Attempt No. 1: I setup a test site ( virtual hosting I think it is called) that utilizes perl & ms access. It works oK except I didn't get the user/pwd thing working. It has pwd protected directories - however they told me queries will not work with the pwd protected directory insalled. Technical support is very slow in responding. And I didn't figure out how to provide the needed security mentioned above. Currently I have been reading about mysql and just installed it on windows 98. I am open to changing over to linux based systems. However I would like to create the tempory site to get a few subsciptions prior to forking out the funds. So finally now that you guys know my situation can you please make some suggestions as to how to get the temporary site up ( to get 5 subscriptions or so) and I think I coudl painfully, over time, work on a site that could handle much more. Information: The database would be text only, less than 1 GB ! Right now I think it is at 5 MB but will increase. I am familar with perl 5.6 and ms access. Budget: Shoe string budget for now..... :) I would greatly appreciate assistance.... I am sure many of you dealt with this type of situation before. ===== Regards, Investorclb __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE video emails in Yahoo!
