What CMS for your web site do u prefer? I`m going to use one of these systems for my site and i was wondering which one should i use, i hope u will help me to decide.

I`m talking about free one`s

You don't have to use a CMS, or you can script your stuff yourself. What you want your CMS to do might affect your choice as well.

Some of my friends use Drupal with good results, and Joomla! seems kind of popular around here.

A long list of different CMS's (organized by price) is here

The only CMS I've ever used was PostNuke. Don't use it unless you plan on using most of it's features. The biggest drawback to PostNuke was theming the damn thing. It's so hard to make your own theme for it. I ended up making one, but it took me 3 different tries over the period of a year. It was quite a learning experience though.

I still prefer to code my own stuff up though. I find its easier to add and fix code that's broke. And if anything goes wrong, such as any sort of exploit, I have no one to blame but myself.

After using many diffirent CMSs, I understood that i need to make it by myself =)
So now I use only my CMS for all my projects.

next time you ought to try doing a quick search of the forums before you type up your own thread

there's another thread for CMS suggestions on the webmastering section

it really depends on what sort of web site you are going to run.
for the begginers id recommend cutenews , give it a try %) it's a cute little thing

Best CMS i have found is Sedito. You can grab it at www.neocrome.net. Its really easy to use and has some advanced features too.

I dont like php nuke or anything based off of it, ridden with security holes and i just personally dont like using it. Not as easy to use as other CMS's out there.

In this way of thinking what do u think about Joomla

Havent tried it. I probably should and see if it will change my stance. I prefer CMS' that are easy to write plugins for and have nice code. ATM, sedito from www.neocrome.net is the best.

Open your apache configuration file (normally /etc/apache2/httpd.conf) and look for for a line that looks like:

SeverName 127.0.0.1

(or any line that starts with SeverName) and change it to:

SeverName myboxname

where myboxname is your computers hostname.
