Free site software for linux

PushSite provides an utility to update remote site.

Pushsite is intended for updating remote websites -- its like mirroring but in reverse. It only sends the changed/new files to conserve bandwidth. Of course, it has other applications too (e.g. software distribution).

PushSite can detect changes to files held on the local system and update a copy on a remote system via FTP. It can also detect changes made directly to the remote site (basic intrusion detection). Only the amended files are updated thereby conserving bandwidth.

Site Editor is a CGI script which allows a user to manage their web space without needing ftp access.

With only a web browser you can browse your web space, edit text files, upload files, and create and remove directories. Site Editor also has ZIP support making it easy to grab an entire directory tree.

Site Editor is completely functional but is missing some features and polish which would make it easier to use. Currently it requires access control to be handled by the web server. On top of this the code is a little raw, hence this is not a 1.0 release.

To configure for your system the "site_editor" script needs to be modified slightly. In the "Config" section edit the following variables:

$BASE_DIR Root directory for editing files.
$BASE_URL Web location for $BASE_DIR files. Can be relative or absolute.
$TITLE Title prefix to be used for each page.
$ICON_URL Location of icons. It may be relative or absolute.
$ZIP The full path to your Info-ZIP binary. Comment to disable.

I have included a simple patch to Apaches suexec which will allow the script to be root owned. With suexec and the script owned by root the user wont be able to modify the scripts configuration but will still be able to create and modify their own files.

Any comments and suggestions are welcome.

Wizard Site Framework project has been used in production sites for three years, serving countless thousands of page views.
It is modular , coming out of the factory with a basic structure, allowing the webmaster to spend more time on design and less on the plumbing.
Included is a user authentication system, scripts for registering, changing passwords, contact forms, confirmation emails, listing users, editing their profiles, privacy statements (etc.etc.), fully integrated into the site skeleton and under the rule of common CSS stylesheets.
Very cool is the menu and sitemap systems which are generated from the database automatically when a page is added or altered during authoring. The menu systems use the famed Suckerfish CSS-driven Javascript code harnessed to a MySQL database with PHP scripting.
You can, for example, have either horizontal or vertical menus, and they can be set at whatever depth you think is reasonable. You can hide pages from the menu or sitemap or restrict their view to only site members with the appropriate credentials.
Other features include such utilities as visitors statistics tied to the user management system so that you can see what specific pages on your site your registered members are viewing.
This is the third generation of the Wizard framework. While the structure of the site continues to be managed through an admin panel, and stored in a MySQL database, what is rather unique about the latest iteration is that the page content, indeed the entire page, is stored on the server as an HTML - PHP file.
While previous versions stored HTML content in the database, the Version 3.0 makes the page completely accessible to such online programs as Macromedia Contribute or other authoring tools.
Unlike previous versions, or content management systems (CMS) that store the HTML content in a database table, you have the ability to include whatever server-side or client-side code in site pages, removing a major disadvantage of most content management systems.
This makes Wizard Site Framework totally customizable and flexible. And because it is lightweight and very efficient it is easily scalable to large sites.
Enhancements:
- Many major and minor bugs were fixed.
- The front and back ends are now W3C compliant.
- A Poll and Blog script was added.
- Preliminary support for the PostgreSQL database was added.

Open Site Builder Tools is a project that provides you with free software intended to facilitate your life as a professional web site developer.

Currently available tools include:

open site builder

site pages assembler. Merges content pages into a predefined template and produces target site by only replacing changed documents. Now includes sitemap generator

osb log analyzer

scans osb logs and displays list of modified files day by day, version by version. Each day activity is divided by project version and each version displays modified files sorted in descending order by the number of times the file was modified. So you can simply review development activity in each project version and know which files were most active

osb ftp uploader

uploads site pages from your development machine to the production server. Only the newer documents are uploaded. It also shows you the files on your target server that are missing in your development environment. This facilitates you the task of tracking moved / deleted files

Hierarchical Grid Site Managment is a front-end to the database that keeps information about the grid sites (clusters), their admins, email and phone contacts, other contact people, site nodes and resources, downtimes etc.
These sites are organized by country and countries are organized by regions. The admins of each site can also update the information about the site.
To summarize the design, the applications supports only one GOC (Grid Operation Center), assuming that it is used for only one grid. It can have several ROCs (Regional Operation Centers), each ROC can have several countries, and each country can have several sites.
Each ROC, country and site can have one (or more) admins, which are able to modify the data of the structure (record) which they admin (ROC, country or site), and to manage substructures as well.
Managing substructures means that they can also validate/appoint the admins of the substructures, e.g. a country admin can validate/appoint the site admins. The admins are recognized automatically by their certificate (without the need to use passwords).
For each structure (ROC, country, site), contact info about it are stored, including email and phone. For the sites, general info about it are stored, contact info, info about its resources and capacities, site contacts, site downtimes, and info about its nodes. For more details see the DB design: hgsm_design.sql.
In the pages where a user has edit rights (in the node where he is admin and in all the subnodes), an Edit button is displayed. Clicking in this button, the page will be displayed in the edit mode, where the fields of information can be modified, the rows of the lists can be edited or deleted, new rows can be added in the lists, etc. The id and the admins of a node can be modified only by an admin of the parent node.
Main features:
- Has a database with information about a hierarchical structure (GOC-->ROCs-->Countries-->Sites-->Nodes).
- This information is published to the www by a web application.
- Each node of the tree has also one or more admins, which can modify the data of the node which they admin, and also the data of the subnodes.
- The admins of a node can appoint (set/modify/delete) the admins of the subnodes and leave up to them the modification/update of the subnode information (to make their job easier and for decentralization).
- Authentication (recognizing that somebody is admin of a node and has the rights to modify it) is done automatically by the application, using personal certificates, which are issued and verified by a certain certification authority. This means that everybody that is an admin, must have a valid certificate installed in his browser.
- The application also supports i18n and l10n (is multilingual, can be translated into several languages).
Enhancements:
- This release includes full internationalization and localization support for Albanian and Croatian.
- It also contains bdii.php?type1+type2+type3 and ldap2mysql.py the scripts.
- Some small improvements and bugfixes were made.

Qixite is an application for creating web sites. User just has to worry about information and structure of site, Qixite will do all the rest.

This is a very short description of what Qixite does:
