Thanks Andrew

I kinda of figured this would not be a real easy thing to learn. alot of techie stuff that I am not too familiar with (yet).

I believe the servers are pretty sound. It is a big internet provider in Vancouver Canada (netnation), and they have both UNIX and NT servers. I believe I am on the UNIX one. The speed and reliablity is great...I have no complaints with them at all.

I will print your response, plus some of the info from apache. My kind of bedtime reading.

I also have to do a fairly large research database for the same site too. This has to be fully searchable and be able to organize a moderate amount of information (periodical name, date, topic, keywords, the actual article, author etc). Not sure if I want to attempt this myself though. I already have too many hats on my head as it is [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

thanks for your detailed answer. It is much appreciated.
