Re: Pakistan want to be PHP mirror

Hi Muhammad,

The Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB) is the entity within government charged with the task of enhancing the exports of IT and IT enabled services in Pakistan. Part of its mandate is to identify potential market opportunities for the IT industry in the country There is a growing global shift towards the use of Open Source Software, and PSEB has hence created an Open Source Resource Center (OSRC) that consolidates a wide range of expertise related to Open Source Technologies and Resources. OSRC Official Website: http://www.osrc.org.pk PSEB Official Website: http://www.pseb.org.pk Now what we need is to make OSRC as a Mirror of PHP so kindly let us know, as we are not the Hosting Service Provider, so how would we setup a mirror on OSRC and how much it would cost us in US$ or equivalent to Pakistani Currency and what type of systems OSRC required.

We have detailed instructions on how to set up PHP.net mirorrs at http://php.net/mirroring - and since there are no mirrors in Pakistan so far, we are able to offer pk.php.net as the name for the mirror. You need some linux/bsd based server with an Apache webserver and a recent PHP as an Apache module installed. There are only a few mirrors running PHP 5, most of them use PHP 4, which is sufficient for a PHP mirror. Let us know if you have any more questions. Please use 'reply-all', so that every addressed email destination gets your reply. Regards, Gabor Hojtsy - one webmaster@php.net
