Proxy Site Tutorial or Guide

    Good morning all,

    Does anyone know of a site that has a complete guide on how to make a proxy site? From webpage design, to coding, to uploading onto your server?

    I have a decent amount of experience in photoshop. I can create a layout, slice it, and make it a webpage. But I don't know how to code the page with a proxy, or, more importantly, install it on my server.

    If anyone is able to help me out with this, or point me to a tutorial or guide I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks

    If you're using cgiproxy, all that you need to edit is in the nph-proxy.cgi file starting line 5562.

    It's as easy as this. Download phproxy, upload to server. Presuming you're not on a shared box with anything seriously disabled, it works, simple as that. You can edit the layout from a program such as Dreamweaver (my choice), phproxy is basic html with php includes + a css file for layout. As long as you don't mess with the backend stuff it just works :)

    CGIProxy is similar, although it probably wouldn't hurt to get your hands on a free template (search DP for them) so you can see the setup as the code downloaded from their site doesn't always include the gateway/ index page. Again edit in Dreamweaver, keep the coding bits as is.

    As someone who designs my own sites I usually share this with others: get your hands on someone elses design, pull it apart and look at how it works. The fiddly bits in proxies aren't all that involved, at least in the index files anyway.

    hope this helps.
