I think I have posted this quite a while ago but it is still on my
mind. We currently configure the hosts, pages etc using a windows
database and windows front end that I wrote quite some time ago. I
keep getting the urge to convert it to a linux database and a web
frontend. However I would not do this if there is no interest in using
it.
The point is that you never touch the bb-hosts file and all
configuration of hosts and layouts is done via a user interface.
Is there any interest in this?
Is there anyone willing to help?
If so I was going to convert to mysql and either php or perl cgi. Any
comments on this?
We have 400 odd hosts here and have pages split by priority, service,
location, and support group all on the front page but all configured
via the database.
Currently the bb-hosts is built via a perl script that extracts the
database and then generates a main bb-hosts file plus include files
for each sub-page.
I would definitely be interested in this - I have some modest experience
with the LAMP stack, and also have some LAMP servers (ubuntu and SLES)
available for testing and development.
Let me know -
Joe
