OK teammates I would like a couple of you to look at my site and see what you think, been working on it for a while and just put it back up.

What do you think of the logo on the forum front page? I am not very good at this stuff.

Thanks

I looked through the site a bit...Congrats on 41 years of marriage! 🙂

It looks fine to me.. your web skills are better than mine. 😱
 
Looks nice to me, but Win 98SE for an Inet server 😕 ? OK it wouldn't be my OS of choice but if it works for you.... 😀

Looks good to me as well, but I think you could do better with a different choice of OS for a web server, unless [lack of] stability and performance don't matter. 😉
 
Where's the forum on cow tipping

Well Cow Tipping is seasonal, it only happens in the spring.😱

Thanks for all the kind words guys I appriciate it. As to using win98se and it being unstable I have found that if you dont use the machine for a whole bunch of things it is pretty good. I tried to use Red Hat but the learning curve for installing the modules for the forum was a little beyond me. As I get older new things become a lot harder to learn.

Keep cracking

Real nice bleep, I am not that old 😉 and learning new things is already hard for me 😀😀
I remember setting up the UBB forums on Windows the first time, I hope the one you are using was more friendly that that monster!

Bleep, nice job, I would really re-consider the Win98SE thing though. W2K Server / Linux / BSD, anything that can be secured at all would be better.

There is a way to run a secure webserver on Win 95 and up.
You have to use the right software though, and it's no longer in production - meaning you have to get it second hand.

Are you guys noticing any real security problems with his set up or are you just "nit picking"?

Looks good to me!

I was playing around with PHPBB myself. It is very cool! I still have a long way to go with it but it is fun.
 
Well according to his server he is on:

Apache/1.3.14 Server at localhost Port 80

There's a lot of good ways to secure Apache on anything, mucho info out there about it.
 
Looks good, what kind of upload speed is there on the cable line because it loads pretty darn fast for being cable hosted.

Well I am paying for 128 up but get about 240 or better. Cheap too $25.00 a month including the modem on Charter Pipeline.

I am going to change to a different port when I put the site up permaninate and that will help the security some. I know one thing, that the setup I have is a heck of a lot better than using IIS even with the patches.
Actually once I got the PHPbb figured out it is a breeze to install, and Apache is so easy that I cannot believe that it took me so long to get it figured out.

Thanks again guys.

heheh... doesn't take much searching on google to find pages and pages of IIS hacks...
Yes, Apache is a very good choice IMHO
