Topic: PunBBig needs a new home

As some of you have noticed, PunBBig has been down for a while. I have hosted it on a friends computer, but since I were the only one using it he decided to remove unix from it and make it a wondows-computer that he could use for other things.

So, I'm now in need for a new host.

The question is, can some friendly PunBB user provide me this for free, or should I look around for payed hosts? The problem is that I need perl access (using crontab) to update the data nightly, which I don't think that many hosts allow...

Please post here or send me a mail if you can help :)

Edit: Oh, btw, if you wonder what "hej" means, it's the swedish word for "hello" :)

Re: PunBBig needs a new home

Well I've got one of TextDrives lifetime hosting plans which is being severly under used. You would be welcome to put PUnBBig there but I don't know anything about the crontab stuff or separating part of the account off to give someone else access. Maybe Rickard can reply since he knows more about TxD's technicalities than I do.

cron is not absolutely needed.
You got this which is very reliable : http://www.crontab.fr/login.php

TextDrive has crontab support.

Connor would probably be safer, he's less likely to accidentally trash your stuff than I am.

Thanks a lot!

Now I only need to get the backups from my last host ;P

Re: PunBBig needs a new home

I'm so sorry this is taking so much time! Actually, I think this is a great plus for punBB users to get their forums exposed. It's a pity it's taking so long. sad
