What's do I need to create a newsserver?

Post by Johnny Doomo »

I downloaded a scripting thinking it was the whole deal, but appearantly all it does is put it so it's viewable in a webbrowser. So it has a variable asking for $server and it defaultingly has "$server="news.florian-amrhein.de";" but when I change the default newsgroups it stops working. I did a search in google trying to find more about what I need but it wasn't very helpful.

Can somebody help me out as to what I need to get it so that I can pick which newsgroups I want this script to show in the browser? Do I need my own news server or can I use somebody elses? the one that was defaulted in the script won't show any of the newsgroups I added to the script.

Can somebody please let a noobie know what exactly I need to get this working?

Thanks.

my guess is that you would need a newsserver that has your wanted groups in it's feed...

For a local feed i would suggest you use leafnode.
If you want to run your own server (own groups etc..) i would suggest inn2.

Looks like I don't know how to install either of those.
