James D. -> Creating a Desktop Server and Forums (12/5/2006 11:16:21) Ok so My Project for this upcomming Year is to Turn one of my Desktop Computers into a Server. Is there a free/cheap way of doing this. Also I was wondering what Knowledge I would need to create a Forum sorta like this. I dont want to use free forums cause I wanna create My own. I want to run the forums off of the Desktop Computer/server once I get that up and running. Any Suggestions on what I should start learning to go about and create the forums and Server. <no sigs>

jaybee -> RE: Creating a Desktop Server and Forums (12/5/2006 13:56:24) As for writing your own Forum you'll need to learn PHP, ASP or similar and one of the flavours of SQL database programming. All depends on what OpSys your server ends up running.
