Uniform Server 4.0-Mona et al

King Ola — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 00:06:00 +0000

So Uniform Server 4.0-Mona was released yesterday, Thank God. Everything seems to be going well. We’ve had great reviews…

You can read more about it at the forums: http://forum.uniformserver.com

My whiteboard plan is going ok, bought everything already, waiting on the bluetooth adapter, after that its a go. Plus i got a Kodak Zi6 HD Pocket Video Camera so i can record it plus every other craziness that i’m surrounded by.

My Vimeo account is about to go nuts! Tell YouTube to move aside, they old now. lol

I’m still waiting on my sensei for the shoot so i can revamp the site, but umm, i guess i will have to continue while waiting. Due to school, i’ve really not had time for much, but yep,

dueces!

miniserver by Uniform Server

King Ola — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 20:42:23 +0000

So as most of you know the original name for The Uniform Server was once miniserver. Just as our SourceForge unix name says, but i guess with time, it got the name Uniform Server from the founding developers. Well, soon, we will be releasing the miniserver line under Uniform Server. They are smaller versions of The Uniform Server that allows you to run a server on any Windows OS. They are much more smaller, also mobile, and have the same portability as The Uniform Server. Head of this department is Ric, aka Mike.

They will be released in bundles meaning theres more than one of them. They also have different core systems included and as time passes expect releases with other softwares such as WordPress, Xoops, Joomla, and so on.

Currently right now, there is no release date set, but expect them within the coming week or two.

Thanks to Ric also for his work with the team and just in case you didnt know, he is the new/old member of the Uniform Server Development Team.

Run UniServer & WordPress on a Phone

King Ola — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 09:26:40 +0000

I saw this a few months ago, but yeah. He was able to run Uniform Server with WordPress from his Sony Ericsson K750i phone! How cool is that???

We Not Dead

King Ola — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 21:45:57 +0000

Well if you are active in the forums you will know that we are still here. Been busy lately with school, and am not gonna lie, its kicking my butt even though i dont have a job… which may be what makes things kindof hard doing this and that to keep up with the bills and rent, not even the Benjamin Family. Anyways, you can expect great things from Uniform Server this year, we will be coming out with a new pack of MINISERVERS created by Ric, and also getting some spanking new updates and some improvements. You will definitely catch Apache 2.2 this year if you wondering and some plugins that have been sitting in the SVN unpublished will be released also.

Everything will be done one by one as i am still looking for an apartment since my lease expired last year and my former roommate doesnt have funds to room again. Expect an update to 3.5, 3.5.1 hopefully soon. This will not contain Apache 2.2 though as we are saving that for 4.0, the next major release. 3.5.1 will contain patches, updates and bug fixes to the server.

If you need anything, catch us in the forums.

3.5-Apollo Released

King Ola — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 00:56:54 +0000

Uniform Server 3.5-Apollo was just released today! Yay! Not a long wait right? Well, i hope not. This release is not a major release but it does feature updates, bug fixes and some patches around the server. Special BIG Thanks goes to Ric (aka) Mike Gleaves for helping out with the Beta and also patches/fixes.

This is the last step before 4.0 so version 4.0 is next. Go get it now!

The plugins are what i plan to start working on now… You can find everything in our SVN over at SourceForge. The installers are the major problem, so i guess i will have to start on that. The problem with me and the first go-round with the installers was i wanted too much features in it and wanted it to be extra cool… So don’t worry, this time i should be able to get what i want.

3.5-Apollo

King Ola — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 17:22:24 +0000

The release of 3.5-Apollo is set to be in the next couple of months, but before August/September and we are trying to make 3.5 BUG FREE! Yes we mean BUG FREE, so there will be extensive testing on it by the Beta Team. 3.5-Apollo will also contain the latest updates and will contain some new features we are planning for the Admin Panel. The migration tool might also be getting some work done on it so we can use it for full use of migrating from one version of the server to the latest easily.

The problems you see in 3.4-Sluger will all be fixed before 3.5 and the Admin Panel will be getting some new things added to it. We will also be working on the plugins as we work on 3.5 as that was what we were suppose to put our main focus on, but had to delay due to the problems in 3.4-Sluger. Deepak will be working on the installers for them as i have most of them complete and waiting for shipment.

Some new things will also be happening with the Uniform Server but you have to stay tuned. Currently what most people dont know is the fact that i merged the development under my development firm, Triple O, LLC. As it says under the main website. Nothing business will be happening with the Uniform Server and no you wont see us turn into a profit making or something company. Everything will stay as it is.

Another yet most wanted feature will be 3.5-Apollo’s surprising feature

SVN & Nominate UniServer!

King Ola — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 02:10:59 +0000

Before we go on to anything, we would be glad if you could please help nominate your favorite WAMP Software on SourceForge.Net in the Community Choice Awards. Nominate us in as much category as you can. In fact, you can nominate us in every category… Don’t think negative, your nomination will count, every inch of it, so please nominate us:

Our SVN at SourceForge.Net is now in use. You can catch the latest development build and latest test and plugins in there, but please note that some might not be finished and some do work perfectly. Also take not that any plugin from now on only works with version 3.4-Sluger and up due to the new system. If you are an expert, you should be able to set it to work with 3.2+

3.4-Sluger Released!

King Ola — Sat, 02 Jun 2007 07:31:02 +0000

Its been a year plus since the last release of the Uniform Server and while we are sorry about this, there was nothing we could do. It could have even been for the better, but its just that life does not turn out the way we have it planned or the way we have it worked out. After 3.3 was released, i moved out of my cousin’s house to my apartment and started college and a new job (which i ran my way up to manager within the year ) and everything got tangled so the development of the server was not really seen by users, but it was just been worked on in the background.

Well, other things happened this year, but to give all the glory to the One above, i got time off (in a way) and had time to do some more work and fix my schedule and everything. Uniform Server 3.4-Sluger has come a long way and now it’s ready to be released to you and for you!

The server is packed with updated Apache 2.0, PHP 5, MySQL 5, ActivePerl 5, phpMyBackupPro 2, phpMyAdmin 2 and so on. Admin Panel 2 has also been updated and packed with some new and cool features. The main loading page is now http://localhost and no longer the http://localhost/apanel and you can find some changes to the server there also.

The server was actually set to be released June 1-4 with June 1 being the primary date, but we had to release it now because PHP 5.2.3 was released May 31, and we had to wait for the new build of eAccelerator to run with it. That just came out so everything is set now.

Well, enough talking, i think its time you go now and download the server! If you have any problems, start a topic in the forums.

[EDIT]
To talk about a few things on this release, a. please note that the way phpMyAdmin looks was not our doing, you can contact the phpMyAdmin team about that, b. the size increase cannot could not be avoided, so please don’t scream, If we could do something about it, we would but the size increase is mostly from the core products.

PHP 5.2.3 & eAccelerator

King Ola — Fri, 01 Jun 2007 20:03:34 +0000

Well, PHP 5.2.3 was just released yesterday and currently right now, it does not work with the current build of eAccelerator, so we are trying to see what we can do. If we do not have a solution for this by the end of the day, we might have to release Uniform Server with PHP 5.2.2.

The main website, http://www.uniformserver.com has also been fixed, e where having problems with it earlier because of Register Globals so we decided to just use another method. We are currently using mod_rewrite since the problem with Register Globals still exists on the server.

Watch out for more news later today…

Developer Wanted & More

King Ola — Wed, 23 May 2007 20:03:12 +0000

The Uniform Server is looking for an additional developer to help out with the development of the server. We are looking for a developer that is proficient in PHP & Perl code writing and familiar with the other open source technologies. If you are interested, please send your resume to me at olajideolaolorun{at}gmail.com. This is a volunteer job and you will not be paid in cash but in thanks, thanks and more thanks Proficiency in AJAX will be a big plus!

After finishing my rounds today and adding some in-pack plugins to the server (shhhh), i noticed something else i already added and working that most people have problems installing. Now, i am not too sure yet if i want to add it as a in-pack plugin or a downloadable plugin, but AWStats 6.6 is up and running here. This will be discussed during the BetaChat LiveSession.

To talk about the upcoming LiveSession, the date set for it is Saturday May 26, 2007 1200 EST. It will be held in the IRC Channel as most of you already know. If you cannot make it, there will be logs saved in the Developer Forum, but please try your hardest to make it. 3.4-Sluger Beta will be released during the chat if all goes well. It will last for as long as it can, meaning not until the conversation ceases.

The information you need to sign on to the IRC Channel follows:

IRC Server: irc.freenode.net
Channel: #unidev

For more information on connecting, read the IRC Info in the Wiki.

Please try and make time to be there.
