Much of the answer would depend on what database you are going to be connecting to and what OS it's on. Front Page extensions do work fine on FreeBSD. There's even a port, do a make install and it downloads apache and the BSDI FP extensions and gets everything going. I believe that you can use PHP for the scripting side of things. ( see www.php.net for more info ) I personally haven't used it but I've heard/read many good things. You may want to talk to the guys at www.freebsdrocks.com I believe they are using mysql and php. I have used perl with mysql just a little bit and I've found that to be very nice. There's some good info on this at web monkey : http://www.hotwired.com/webmonkey/backend/tutorials/tutorial1.html It talks about using apache, perl, mysql together. The details are for Linux but I followed them with little modification for FreeBSD. ( Using FreeBSD ports and packages instead of rpm's and things like that. ) * Joseph M.
