| Experienced Member   |  Lots of stuff for sale for those in the UK Trying to raise some funds for my impending wedding !!! Had a bit of a clearout and got my hands on some other surplus bits so listed them on my webshop. Some nice stuff on there - supercaps, displays, lots of other capacitors and some microcontrollers/crystals as well as some other stuff. Postage to the UK only I'm afraid. http://www.picbits.co.uk/catalog/index.php/cPath/63 Cheers Dom |

You'll need to find a less foreboding word than impending  Mind if I ask what software you're using for your store. I've been looking to set my own store up. | |

| Experienced Member | I actually run my own server from home - I've got a reasonable fast ADSL line and have 8 fixed IP addresses. The server is running on Debian / Apache / MySql / Postfix (so basically a fairly standard Linux server). The software for the forums is phpbb http://www.phpbb.com The software used for the shop is OsCommerce http://www.oscommerce.com/ Best thing is its free !!!! The only costs are the server (retired machine with a graphics card fault), the electricity to run it (expensive !!!) and the ADSL (around £30 a month). If you are looking for a similar setup - any decent Linux hosting will do as long as they allow you access to MySql |

| Experienced Member | Thanks, I'm running my own linux server too. I've got MySql but have never used it. Was it difficult to install phpbb? |

| Experienced Member | phpbb goes on in 15 minutes oscommerce takes slightly longer (20 minutes) but then you've got lots of setting up to do. Oscommerce also integrates with Paypal and many other payment systems with third party addons which cost the same as a breath of fresh air  |

| Experienced Member | I like the idea of Oscommerce with PayPal. Can phpbb be integrated with PayPay or shall I consider Oscommerce? |

| Experienced Member | phpbb is a bulletin board (a bit like what we're using at the moment to talk here). Oscommerce is the webshop |
