Many thanks for reading it, and for the comments
Good point about nginx, but as there are no domain names involved (unless you start hacking hosts files on all the clients), to me this means 2 default-server blocks, which you cannot do ? (I may
well be missing a trick here - it happens a lot - lol)
However, I have added a "install in the existing default-server block" guide as an alternative method to achieve the same result (well sort of, anyway).
You are right about mysqld - it is
total overkill for this task, and there are better and more code portable options available.
To be honest, I had written a C based linux console app for a completely different requirement a few months ago, and being a lazy ***, wanted to reuse as much code as I could to make this development as rapid as possible.
However, in my defense, I am seriously impressed how well mysqld runs on the Pi
Anyway, despite me stating that the HG612 would be next, as my poor old Billion 7800N was sulking in the cupboard since I got fibre a few weeks ago, I broke it out last night, and whilst it doesn't offer many stats for me to test it properly (as I haven't got an ADSL connection anymore), it does however appear to fundamentally work .... Do you fancy being the guinea pig for that one ?
