Cheers for that leggom, sounds interesting - I'll certainly give it a go once everything's running smoothly.

For a Database (Oracle anyway, not sure off hand if it supports MySql, but I think it does), it can run a query against it.
It can also output to a server status page (using it's own predefined templates, or your own), as well as email you or text you if something dies.
The program (and tutorials) is at http://www.brentozar.com/salive/default.php

Not as much fun as writing something yourself, but a lot quicker.. |
Now that sounds interesting as well - too many choices
Cheers scastle.

Ok, new problem
Apache was running fine.....
Installed PHP and now the damn thing doesn't want to know.
The Apache service won't start (I get an error 1 in the System event logs) and I can't get the php page to show through my browser (get a 404).
"net start apache2" doesn't work, but then I suppose it won't will it?
I had a look on Google and apparently "error 1" is caused by there already being a service listening on the same port as Apache. Did netstat -a and nothing else is showing on port 80 (or 8080), I think those are the right ports?
Any ideas anybody?
