Incredible Hosting System is a tool that allows you to administrate a hosting system using a Web browser.
The aim is to support administrators and users. Incredible Hosting System currently includes support for Virtual Qmail.
IHS will be a platform for implementing and integrating mail or hosting systems in different environments - small or medium companies looking for tools for managing system accounts, hosting companies offering services based on this system.
System is complex, requires integration of many other applications, for example: WWW server, mail transfer agent, FTP server, database. Also it should be possible to integrate system with other applications that are specific to companys environment.
Aside integration of existing application platform must be built that will allow to manage everything is a manner undependent from tools that are used in background. It should be a centralized and consistent environment. Also API for developers shoule be generic that changes in tools doesnt require changes in code.
Incredible Hosting System will be based on following tools, technologies:
- Apache as WWW server;
- PostgreSQL as default database;
- ProFTPD as default database;
- qmail or Virtual Qmail as a MTA;
- CORBA as a service communication protocol;
- J2EE as an runtime environment;

Oscailt is an independent media center content management system.

Oscailt is an independent media centre content management system developed by the Indymedia Ireland Tech Group, and written using PHP and MySql.

The word "Oscailt" is an Irish word meaning "open" and is pronounced kind of like us-kilt or us-cult or us-culch depending upon your accent.

Oscailt is a Content Management System designed to allow users to publish news and information on a web-site without knowing HTML or having a high degree of technical proficiency. It requires the following software environment:

Web server

The first thing that you need to run Oscailt is access to a webserver. This can either be a home-version on your PC or part of a commercial hosting package, or even your own dedicated server.

Oscailt definitely works with the Apache web server and it has been tested under MS Windows 2000, XP, FreeBSD, Mac OS and GNU/Linux with various versions of Apache 1.x and 2.x. There are no known compatibility issues with any webserver, but others have not been tested.

Apache Modules

Although Oscailt is designed to work on any webserver that runs PHP, our assumption is that it will mostly be deployed on Apache webservers. Therefore it is shipped with a .htaccess file which makes use of the apache mod_rewrite module as well as providing a relatively secure initial configuration. Oscailt uses this module to enable search-engine friendly URLs. If you do not have this module available on your server, Oscailt will work perfectly happily, although the URLs produced wont be as nice.

PHP

Oscailt requires PHP to be available on the webserver. PHP is a Free software programming language and is commonly available as part of commercial web hosting packages. See the php website

Oscailt requires PHP 4.x or PHP 5.x. It has been tested with several variations of PHP 4.3.x and PHP 5.0.x on diverse platforms and there are no known compatibility issues. There are possible issues with PHP 4.4.x There are a small number of incompatibilities with early version of PHP 4.0.x but they are highlighted in the code and should be easy to ammend.

PHP Modules

Several of the Oscailt modules rely on the GD image extension to PHP. The system is still usable without them but you will not be able to use the image tools such as the resizing of images to create thumbnail links, etc.

MySQL

MySQL is a free software database management system that is also commonly available with commercial hosting packages. Oscailt has no known compatibility issues with any version of MySQL on any platform. It has been tested with a number of versions of MySQL 4.x on MS Windows, GNU/Linux and FreeBSD.

Home Installs

For home installs and testing of Oscailt, you can download a PHP/MySQL/Apache bundle for any platform from several sites on the Internet (Google is your friend) and run Oscailt on your home machine. If you are running a distribution of GNU/Linux, its generally best to install the appropriate software using the software packaging system that comes with your distribution e.g. If you are using Red Hat, Mandriva or Suse Linux, its best to install the RPM packages. If you are running a Debian based distribution such as Ubuntu, its best best to install from .deb packages - preferably using apt or a similar tool to solve dependency issues.

mod_vhost_hash_alias is an Apache HTTPD module that allows mass hosting with good distribution across a unified directory namespace.

Administrators no longer have to use complex regexps with mod_rewrite, since they can use mod_vhost_hash_alias to do a better job and use fewer resources.

mod_vhost_hash_alias is a component of the VHFFS hosting platform which is used by the Web hosting provider Tuxfamily.org.
