Description
Experience Level: Expert
I am looking for someone to help setup a web server. I have purchased a dedicated server package with 'Fasthosts' but need someone to help set it up and get it running a few specific things quickly. I have had someone else try to get these things setup and they have failed so I would really appreciate applications only from people who really know what they are doing, who are familiar with the Windows 2003 web edition OS and the setup procedures required for running web sites from a server, basically it needs to be done quickly and efficiently as it should not be a big job at all.
The checklist is as follows;
1. To ensure appropriate security is in place.
2. To add a couple of domains - and provide instructions of how to add others (I want to be able to add domains, then change the A record of wherever the domain is registered to point to this server)
3. To setup the FTP server and access in to the root, along with ideally FTP access to each individual domain but that can come later.
4. To setup ODBC connections to a secure folder on the server that will store multiple backend Access DB's for each site.
5. To ensure that the server is enabled to run the scripts within the site that run on the web pages. (The application I need to run is written in classic asp and has been running on a shared Fasthost server with a standard configuration for years without any issues. I am just now wanting it to run on my own dedicated server)
5. To ensure that the SMTP requirements are in place. (this may be more involved and can be treated as a separate project if need me, but I need the person to have the knowledge to be able to continue with this part of the configuration if required)
Once the server is setup correctly it should be a simple matter of creating a new domain, installing the app in the appropriate directory, making the ODBC connection to the DB and hey presto it works.
I will expand on the exact requirements in more detail for the chosen applicant.
The server is supplied by Fasthosts with a Windows 2003 Web Edition OS and I am looking for someone who can log in and setup these things via Remote Desktop Connection as there is no other control panel supplied with the sever.
UK applicants only please and if you are anywhere Oxford it might help. I alos need availability during office hours as this initial task may extend to further jobs later and I would like whoever does this initial step to be involved later so they are aware of the history.
