This article covers some basic steps and commands to encrypt your connection string and other items in a configuration file using ASP.NET 2.0. Microsoft has made it easier to have a portable key that encrypts certain sections in a web.config that are normally clear text. I have not found a quick how-to reference to allow for a scenario where the key is both on a local development machine along with being on a remote web server.

If you are like me on a shared hosting server chances are your web hosting account has cPanel or some other administration panel through which you can create/delete MySQL databases (DBs)/DB users. But you will not be able to:

Lighttpd can lighten Apache's load

admin — Sun, 09 Jul 2006 01:59:17 -0400

Is your Apache Web server slowing down under the weight of streaming media content or database-driven applications? Lighttpd, sometimes pronounced "Lighty," is a lightweight HTTP server that can help alleviate Apache's load by serving static content or CGI scripts.

Building and Installing Apache 2.2.0 and PHP 5.1.2 on Mac OS X 10.4.4

For anyone that has been wishing to switch to Apache 2 on their Mac, this is the
time to do it. PHP 5 has also recently been updated to 5.1.2 and this tutorial
describes in detail, the best method to both build and install these programmes
on your Mac.

Since Apple don't include Apache 2 with OS X yet I have felt it better to keep
Apache 2 in its own directory, and to keep PHP for Apache 2, etc. confined the
that directory too.
