This is a short description of my skills and abilities relevant to the project:
I. Server deployment, configuration, administration and maintainance
The project will be likely hosted in server running Unix or Linux, which Im quite familiar with. Coming from Unix background, so managing Unix machine (especially FreeBSD), for me, shouldnt be an issue. Linux differs from Unix, but if the project server does run Linux, it shouldnt be problematic to me, either.
0. Web Server:
Definitely the project requires web server to publish the content. I have been having a few chances to manage some web servers, running Apache of course. One website that Im currently administering is:
1. Database Server:
It has been 3 years since I took the database subject, and I assume all my database knowledge have gone now. Still, long time ago I managed to install, config a MySQL server and now I still maintain it. Not the best database admin though, but if there is a need for database server admin, it shouldnt be a big problem.
2. DNS Server:
The client may need to create some sub domain names for better management. Im currently managing a BIND server, so Im quite familiar with DNS.
3. SSH & Command Line Interface
If access to the server given to us, the chance is we will need to use SSH. Its a complicated world and if you know CLI, probably I have nothing to say further here.
II. Programming
I study C and I should have mastered it by now, but reality isnt always as good as you expected. Im not quite confident if the application is big (also because Im quite busy), but small one is fine to me. I also have experience with shell script, which is a must for an sys admin, especially in *nix environment. The client may need some applications processing a number of tasks, then return the output to the web interface. This is where C and shell script come, as back-end application, the front-end application, is the website.
III. Security
For non-technical minded people, security is normally overlooked, and it would be the case of our situation. Not quite sure if Im qualified to be security guy here, but it shouldnt be any problem for me to handle this job.
IV. Documentation
The heading says it all.

Chinh Pham, i'm so sorry to say that, we try to focus on the client and their needs, we dont try to assume so many things which we dont even know if it is client needs or not. Therefore, i would say that please dont assume anything and dont go too far from the core of the system.
he is just trying to do his part of the member skill assessment document. no harm doing that in the blog in my opinion.
btw ur website doesnt work with firefox due to certificate errors!
i mean.. take it easy~
i should say Chinh Pham is a really good Server guy and he knows a lot of cool stuffs about server, just to make sure we focus on the things we are doing. that's my opinion.
all the tasks are already taken by others dont mean he doesnt want to contribute at all.
> btw ur website doesnt work with firefox due to certificate errors!
Its a self-made cerfificate (created by me. Verified certificate is costly, I couldnt afford it). Anyway, sounds like you are using FX 3.0, there should be a url in the page to override the setting (or add some exception)
so, how can we view it ?
follow the instructions on the error page to add the website to the exception list. or use IE
