Hi
I’ve created a wee tool for creating PHP/mySQL accounts for pupils who with to do any of the following:
Host HTML pages
Host CSS, Javascript and PHP pages
Execute PHP pages
Set up a mySQL database for access through PHP
Access files via FTP or web interface
Analyse visitor logs to a website
Set up an encrypted HTTPS connection using SSL
Generate a PGP public and private key for encrypted messaging
Set up a search engine for your website that will index HTML pages
Try out site optimisation (compression-based)
Access domain lookup and traceroute tools
Access a webserver vis Secure Shell (SSH)
It uses industry standard Cpanel control panel software so it’s easy to use.
You can create accounts form this link (the code is AlanTuring):

There is a PDF guide to the features of Cpanel that might be useful at Higher level.
I’d be grateful if anyone could test it out. It should make life easier than setting up a local server for some people.
