Just to let you know that I have resurrected the VAMP site from the
most recent backup I have. It is live again on the original URL,
http://vamp.issinoho.com

The content is somewhat dated but still useful, and obviously may
improve if the site gets used again.

It is live on a HP rx2660 (1.59GHz/6.0MB) running OpenVMS V8.3, CSWS
V2.2, CSWS_PHP V2.20, MYSQL051 V46.3-0, phpBB 2.0.23

Unfortunately, I just got the following error:
-------------------[ begin ]--------------------
phpBB : Critical Error

Error creating new session

Nice system! Out of curiosity, is it a single- or dual-processor
dual-core Itanium 9000 series "Montecito" configuration? Also, how
much memory do you have in there?

I'm surprised that you're running V8.3, why not V8.3-1H1 or V8.4? Is
there a specific reason for that?

By the way, I also noticed the following via NMap:

Is this a shortcoming of NMap, that it doesn't recognize it correctly?
I initially didn't see VMS advertized, via the Mozilla (Firefox) server
headers add-ons that I have installed. (That's why I decided to take a
closer look with NMap.)

Ok, it seems like there are issues when posting to the site. I'll take
a look at it when I get a minute but for now I'm going to take the
site offline.

Sorry for jumping the gun on this, people.

I give up! WTF is "VAMP"? How, if at all, is it related to VMS?

It's "VMS Apache MySQL PHP", similar to LAMP which stands for "Linux ..."
That's the common set of services on a web server.

VMS, Apache, MySQL, PHP.

LAMP is the Linux equivalent: see

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAMP_%28software_bundle%29

(my favourite acronym in this area is WIMP: Windows, IIS, MySQL, PHP)

VAMP = VMS Apache MySQL PHP
LAMP = Linux Apache MySQL PHP
MAMP = Mac Apache MySQL PHP
WAMP = Windows Apache MySQL PHP
xAMP = whatever Apache MySQL PHP (VMS is rarely included in x)
