I hope this is the right forum, wasnt sure if this belogs here or in software.
I wrote a small application for my company that will be implemented on our intranet. I wrote and have been testing it off of my local machine, but it is time for me to move it to a production-level machine. I need apache/php/mysql and thats about all - maybe more later (ftp, anything).
I just wanted to find out if anyone here had some suggestions on security or setup issues, I have installed these three products many of times but never before in a production environment where it'll get used alot, so, I'm not asking for installation help. I know it would probably be more stable and faster if i set it up on a linux box, but i'm not too familiar with administering a linux box if something goes wrong, So i'm thinking 2000 Pro, Server or XP. I also would write a batch file to backup the database daily, etc.
Any other major suggestions that I might be overlooking?
