Hi,
I have recently started to build an intranet site for the company I work for. The site itself was planned to run from a local network drive and have everyone's homepage setup to access the home.html webpage.
We implemented this however, Our central IT team have been most unhelpful and banned this kind of access stating that it must sit on it's own stand alone server.
I am now at a point where I have a standalone server !!! This is installed in our server room and I am getting access to this via Remote Desktop Log on in the next few days...... However this is where our amazing IT team have cut off support.
Question 1 -
The plan now (and correct me if I'm wrong) is basically to upload the HTML documents on to the Server set everyone's homepage to the home.html webpage and Bobs is your mums brother.
Will this work how I plan? Do I need any additional software etc.?
Question 2 -
Moving on from this on the same site (separate page - still in development) I am creating a HTML from for our telephone agents to fill in when they receive a complaint. The plan behind this one is that once they fill the form in and hit submit, it will generate an e-mail to our complaints department. Now I am aware this will also require some PHP coding to enable the server to do this but what else do I need, software, coding? I have lifted a free contact form of the internet complete with PHP coding for the backend and also a PHP installation file (http://www.freecontactform.com/free.php). I'm not 100% on how this will all link together, hence the post here.
Whilst our IT team are being must un-supportive here, this is an opportunity for me to learn and I grateful for any help and support anyone can give.
Yes I am completely new to Server-Side scripting and functionality.
