Hello everyone,

I a public high school web design teacher and I have an old xServer RacMac 1.2 running OSX 10.4.9. I'd like to update the "web server" software so I can host a single Joomla! site on it and several small, basic, static html sites. Students will also do a little work with .php and MySql.

I'm really looking for a easy and/or inexpensive way to update the php, apache and MySql installations on my current server but I have no idea where to start. I did look into MAMP Server Package, but noticed it wasn't safe for "live" sites because of security issues.

Can someone please point me in the direction of something similar to MAMP that can be used for "live" sites and will work on an Xserve?

Thanks again for your time and assistance,
Todd

Sorry about that, I wasn't sure which category was best.
