Looks awesome. What's the setup (webserver, etc)? > IOW, what would we need from a host to be able to use this? OS: Any (Windows, Linux, FreeBSD)* Server: Apache (but will probably work with any) Host: allows CGI, mods to htaccess I develop it at home on a Windows system and my host is FreeBSD. I'm assuming it will work on Linux. * Currently, the system can't send emails from Windows. I'm using sendmail on FreeBSD and don't know what to use for Windows. I'll have to figure out what to do about that. Other than that, I don't know of any limitations. There are tons of hosts out there that will be able to host a BBCMF install. I'm using Dot5Hosting right now, but I can't give a recommendation due to issues I've had with them over time (slow, downtime, etc.). I doubt any free hosts will host a BBCMF install due to the custom CGI you have to run, but most of the cheap ones will. And, as I've said in the past, I don't know how well this will scale. It's got a caching system that should enable high volume... but who knows? I'd like somebody to explore the possibility of translating and compiling the system. The problem with that is the plugin system is dynamic, so each time you plugged or unplugged a plugin, you'd have to retranslate/recompile. Just stuff to think about. P.S. I updated the blog entry to give credit to EuSQL. BBCMF would not have been as easy to create without it. So, thanks! :)
