Re: Set up Database Server [Was C]

Posted by Eugene Teo on 1999-03-06

Hi Oon Keat and others ;P

I am just wondering how you set up your database server?
what server are you doing? also, i am looking Oracle db
for Linux or FreeBSD so that i can write a online web database
to manage our company's records. Where can i look for it?
preferably an url so that i can screen ftp it in the account. is there
a tutorial to teach me how to configure the database? i remember
a database administrator showing me all the different configures..
and i need to modify config to make the database understand the
current database.

i can program in Java/Servlets/JDBC. (IT RULES)
Now i am reading up on writing it in VB and Win-CGI.

I know how to run servletrunner to run serlvets in Win95, but anyone
has any ideas on how to run it in Linux or FreeBSD? Meaning to
run it as a separate background process? also, where should i run
it and what access must i give him? root? also, when i need to restart
the servletrunner, must i reboot server or just simply kill the process?
for me, reboot server is difficult because there are a lot of users there
running eggdrops and all other programs....keep on rebooting the 
server...would probably results in more complains ;P any ideas?

please enlighten me ;P thanksssssssss.
