Website in a box?

[Alex]

Hi,

I have an FC14 x86_64 install, and would like to find a basic
application for some friends that will provide a simple web presence,
including a simple blogging features and a photo gallery.

Should I just install wordpress and gallery, or is there something
that's better and more integrated, and easy for a novice to use?

Thanks,
Alex

HI,

Look for the XAMPP package, or webpage. Follow the instructions there
and you could stand up a complete local webpage on your machine. If
furthermore you need to be sync'ed then you need an dyndns adress, and
more stronger security (firewall, permissions etc) setup then is it in
XAMPP.

Cheers,

Z

This looks great, but too bad it isn't just a series of packages that
work in conjunction with FC14.

Thanks again.

Definitely take a look at either Drupal or Joomla.  Both are
full-featured systems; Drupal has a huge number of add-on packages and
is eminently extensible, while Joomla purports to be easier to get
started.  Both are trending toward each other in these areas as they
evolved.

I selected Drupal, and had a full site configured and running with my
selected add-ins in less than an hour.  Because of this, I've not worked
with Joomla.

Anyone who *knows* the packages will recognize the base system by the
default layout; extensive customization does require work.

I haven't had a chance to try it yet but it's supposedly FOSS, I'm not
sure if they have "premium" pay for modules or not but check out:
