powers many interactive web sites and projects. When demand exceeds the

admin — Sun, 12 Dec 2004 02:12:00 -0500

This tutorial is designed to guide you through the initial steps of setting up an Apache, MySQL, and PHP server on Linux which will utilize an external LDAP server for authenticating users.

This can be problematic, however, if your web site is hosted remotely by a hosting company, where you need to upload your work to their web server before you can test it. This can be a time-consuming process.
