I'm looking for someone to upgrade MySQL, php and Apache.

If interested, Please contact me at http://elsmar.com/Forums/sendmessage.php

I can do the upgrade for you
I have sent the message.
Posting here, just in case you dont get it

I've received several responses. I'll be replying to each by e-mail later today to each.

I will also post here when I decide on someone.

Easy, please contact me on aim, TraxioSoftware

I have a question... I'm getting estimates to do this ranging from US$50 to US$750.

Can anyone give me a guess-timate on the time involved and the hours involved? One person quoted 10 hours. When the fellow set the server up about 14 months ago it was a quick job of a couple of hours (and I'm not convinced the person was really knowledgable as a number of issues arose which had to be 'fixed').

I'm not adverse to paying someone US$200 to US$500 if they're professionals (i.e.: web site and a history w/references) because I want it done right and, of course, there is the security issue of handing someone my server root access. What I don't want is someone not experienced in FreeBSD and ending up with problems, not to mention a trial and error process.

BTW - I guess I could get an program to interface with AIM (I'm a Mac person 'at home' - I don't know if iSight will interface as I've never really used it. And I'm more for phone calls {I do have Skype but don't keep it on, but I don't mind calling someone on a landline and paying for the call either}).

I can set it up for you.

Thanks

I can do this for you within two hours. Since it's been awhile since I posted on here, I'll do it for 100.00 even. I've done work for a few people on here. I can give you references if you need it.

Contact me if you are interested.

Michael Are you in the US? If so, how about PMing or e-mailing me a phone number.

One note: This is a production server so I'll have to schedule it for (hopefully) a weekend because (obviously) the server will have to go offline. My forums are relatively active during the week and I also look at it from a $ per hour revenue loss when the server is down.

One thing I thought of - Someone mentioned something about 'streightening out the ports tree'.

The fellow who set up the server was doing a lot of trial and error so... And he set it up much different than my previous server (a 'virtual server from Verio) - paths and such are not what I was used to (and not like I have them set up on my Mac and my PC).

As I said, I don't mind paying a bit (I did think US$750 was quite a bit much), but I want someone who knows FreeBSD without guessing.

I will say I want someone that I can come back to for tweaking if necessary or if I have problems.

EDIT ADD: I'm not worried about php 5 - the 'stable release' version will be fine.

I enjoyed the talk yesterday, looking forward to helping you out.

If you need anything sooner, please feel free to call me or e-mail me.

Michael

OK - It looks like I have someone - Michael, I've been with a client and just got back. I hope to have an e-mail to you by tomorrow morning with the details.

Sounds great, I'll be watching my e-mail.

Thanks,

Michael

Sorry about that.

OK - Will do.

Has anyone here set up a FreeBSD server with Apache 2.x, php 4.x and mysql 4.x?
