I'd like to request a tutorial on how to set up a personal host. Example:
I run my own personal-home server and would like to host a couple friends.
Their domains would be something like domain.com/user or user.domain.com they're probably the same (in code I mean)

Whats needed:
A login
A uploader
(probably forgetting something else)

It would be great to see such a tutorial, not only for me but for others out there who would like to do the same thing.

got xp pro? just use iis(Internet Information Service - Web Server) and then bam! you got yourself your own host.

Well yes I already have my own 'server' setup. Apache with php/mysql.

I was just requesting on how one would go about scripting a login, and upload process so my friends that I allow can upload to their directories via their browser.

Use an FTP Server.

There are plenty out there for free or shareware

Then make every users ftp go to the directory where their stuff is hosted

Ah yes I could always do it that way as well. In fact I believe I have a ftp server somewhere on one of these disks.
Although I still would like to see a tutorial somewhere on php/sql scripting one for my non-ftp people. But the ftp serv will have to do for now
Besides if they cant figure Ftp out they can always email me a folder with their content and I can add it for em.
