Abyss Web Server is a free tiny web server for both Windows and LINUX and is bundled with an amazing GUI. If you would like to run your own web server from your own machine and get up to speed on installing Geeklog to work with it then follow the link...

Theirs a few more guides there, including how to install MySQL and phpMyAdmin. MySQL is the database behind Geeklog and phpMyAdmin is a much need application in administrating MYSQL...

The Guide to phpMyAdmin: http://www.aprelium.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1071

I hope the short guides help you get up to speed on quickly installing Geeklog on your own personal server. Good luck :)

This isn’t a complaint, just thought it was interesting. I use Geeklog for my hosted site, I was going through the logs on my home firewall and noticed that the IDS (Intrusion Detection System) was showing attacks coming from my website. It logged the attack as “WEB-PHP content-disposition” I researched the attack and found that it was a Buffer Overflow venerability that affected PHP 3-4.2 here is what I found on Securityfocus.com about the attack:

As you may have noticed, there was a DNS problem that caused a Squash site to appear when you intended to go to www.geeklog.net. This should be resolved now (and if it isn't, please give it another couple of hours until all DNS servers are updated).
