What basic skills are needed to run a promisance/How do I get started in php?
GET HOSTING FOR 1 Cent! USE CODE: JURY
I am interested in hosting an mmog written in php called promisance (like the version found on http://www.promisance.org/) for a small group of friends. While I am more computer savvy than the average person, as far as any type of programming goes, I am basically ignorant, and would like to learn in the very least, enough to host this game. I’ve been poking around the web, but I’m not quite sure where to start. Any direction would be greatly appreciated!

Hi there! Welcome to the world of PHP. Hosting a web application shouldn’t be that difficult. I had a quick look at the project, and it comes bundled in a .tar.gz (packaged for tape, then run through a compression program called gzip) archive. This means that first and foremost, you’ll need a utility to unzip these files. If you’re on Mac or Linux, you’ve got it, if on Windows, use this:
http://www.sfsu.edu/ftp/win/utils/
So unpack it, and examine the source code. Read its README file, and any other documentation you can find. Now you’re ready to put it online. Since I’ve never installed it, I can’t say exactly how it will go, but I can recommend a place to put it:
http://www.powweb.com
This site offers hosting (with PHP and MySQL, which this app probably uses) for $7.77 per month.
Best of luck!
