How can I archive a site? I want to use a script to archive an imageboard to my 500gb external hard drive. The computer will be on 24/7.

Apache(.)org

Will get you a web server. You will still need a DNS host, something like DYNDNS. NOTE your ISP will most likely BLOCK PORT 80, in the apache.conf change PORT to 8080

Make sure it's open on your firewall/router what have you if you need outside access.

mysql(.)com

This will give you a database.

Don't forget to secure the root password and to not use it. Only create users with access to their own DB, will save alot of headaches if you run some half assed code that's vulnerable to sql injection.


php(dot)net

This will give you some type of server side interpreter for running server sided scripts. ( Code can and is vulnerable to injection techniques) USE AT OWN RISK.

All these programs will run under Linux or Windows (Most Versions).

There are plenty of howto's, from configuring one to getting them all working together.

I will not help you setup or config, but feel free to ask a question if you get stuck on something.

All of these will be configured to machine specific, I suggest you read up a bit about website security so you know what you are getting into.

Well I didn't want to use a public domain to do this, I wanted to run a local script without port forwarding something that went threw and saved all of the pictures/comments but unlike an Html version of the site I want to have the actual picture not just a thumb nail. I guess I could create a micro that opens a thread clicks the picture saves it and then it saves the html of the page and refreshes if anyone has another way I'd like to know.

You can either do it manually or you can do it with a CMS.

That will use holy fuckloads of bandwidth.

Those imageboards can upload alot more, alot quicker than your consumer internet can download. You will get stuck.

I'd run the webserver, you can blob the image into the database, you won't be able to browse it directly but with your webserver you could rebuild the image on view.

Would depend on how large the database stored your blobbed image, vs storing the image itself.

But it's a hell of a lot easier than writing something to index them and paginate em.

well, here is a quick code for it (note : I did not try the code out so there might be typos...)
