Putting Serendipity and webserver onto CD?

Post by TubbeN »

I have to produce a "snapshot" of existing site that is based on Serendipity. Snapshots need to be put to CD (or DVD, didn't decide yet) so that webserver and Serendipity run directly off CD.
Webserver with Serendipity and database server should run off CD automatically once CDROM is inserted into tray (of course if autorun is not disabled) on Win and MacOS.
It seems this special web server can be used for this:
cdrom web server
Has anybody tried to do something like that with Serendipity?

Hi!

This basically should work. Also check out http://www.server2go-web.de/.

You might want to use SQLite instead of MySQL to prevent another external dependency...

How I would do it:

Use two separate products.

On the Windows side of things I would use a WAMPP based solution, such as the one Garvin Pointed out.

On the OS X side of things you are going to need the root password for any solution if you want to use port 80. This is because anything that is an assigned port you need root access to open; security feature of *NIX. I would suggest looking into MAMP on the OS X side of things. I run this on my main machine at home (actually installed) and it works like a charm. I don't know about the portability of it though.

This sounds like an interesting project. I will give this a try tonight to see how much work it is. If you are interested please feel free to contact me so I dont forget about it. :)

I am sure the product that you gave the link to would do the trick; there needs to be an open source way to do the same.
