I'm planning to set up news/forum server (on Gentoo) which will be |
| 2 |
available with nntp and http protocols. I configured inn as pure nntp |
| 3 |
server - Inn - in the past on other server, and it's working well. As |
| 4 |
far as I know, there is no better alternative for Inn(?). On the |
| 5 |
"news/forum server" I don't have to use Inn, if there will be some |
| 6 |
better nntp/http software. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
I know, that it's possible to use news<->www gateway and Inn, but I |
| 9 |
don't have any experience in forum and "news<->www" software. That's why |
| 10 |
I would like you to ask people who know the subject, for advices, which |
| 11 |
software to pick out. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Assumpsions for "news/forum server": |
| 14 |
1. Authentication with login/pass (the same for nntp and http) |
| 15 |
2. 'Advanced Searching' feature from WWW |
| 16 |
3. Max workload - I suppose it will be about 300 users at the same time |
| 17 |
4. Ability to delegation administration task for "news/forum server" |
| 18 |
software to another (not root) administrator. |
| 19 |
5. Local server (don't have to feed other servers, and don't have to get |
| 20 |
posts from them). |

I've found Papercut [http://pessoal.org/papercut/], which could enable |
| 23 |
nntp access to MySQL database from phpBB for example. But... I've found |
| 24 |
some posts at newsgroups, which tells that Papercut is buggy for now. |
| 25 |
Anyone use it? |
| 26 |

I prefer not to use PHP apps (security), but if it will be necessary, |
| 28 |
soft can be implemented in that language. |
