ANyone know of a good Host Master Vbulletin board?
 

A couple months ago I racked my own server (www.bigkahunahosting.com) and need to find a good board that will help me learn the ropes about such things as installing Apache Cocoon and Tom Cat, questions about cpanel, and how to load up some cool cgi_bin programs for some of my customers.

Does anyone have a board that the can point me to for this help?

That site looks good!

Or goign straight to the sorce of what you are adding is always the best way.

hellsatan -- where is that forum? I could find anything like that on this board or on vbulletin.com.

Neo -- On some things I have, like Apache's site. I can find their papers on Cocoon and Ton Cat -- but I can't figure out how I can install it on my server with cpanel host manager. My main problem is that the hotel where my server is racked (web authorities) does not have a FAQ (under construction) and there are only two posts on their board since May. I'm real happy with the performance of my server with them -- but it is a no-frills company. I can't afford to ask them live questions at $60 per hour. This is my 1st attempt at being a host master and I have a lot to learn. I don't even know half of the questions I need to ask. I racked my own server because every host I used was overextended cause my board (www.moparstyle.net) to slow down at times and was down a lot. I don't regret the choice of going to my own server (haven't had to boot Apache in 24 days!) -- but I need to learn how to manage it. I can't find a place that offers suggestions and answers questions. There has to be one out there and I figured I must not be the only one here with a dedicated server. Hopefully someone else with a dedicated server will know of the board I seek and fill me in.

hi BK.

a good place to ask might be http://www.netwerkin.com , the admin of the forum dose a bit of server work and might be able to help you :).

Where did you rack/co-locate your server? Most hosts will answer general questions as long as you are not asking them to setup your system for you :). I would suggest going over to http://www.WebHostingTalk.com, there are a great deal of people over there that could help you out, most are very friendly, although you need to watch out for a few people ;).
