VDS and FastDL

[Xantis]

Could anyone help me with setting up FastDL on my VDS.

If you are using windows just use IIS and configure any unknown MIME types to application/octet-stream. Don't host anything other than fastdl though, as with these settings people can probably download your php files which can contain sensitive information.

I only have 1 VDS which is hosting my Servers.

Okay, can you clarify what you want? Do you want to set up a web server on your VDS to host fastdl, or do you want help configuring an external web host(like web space here) for fastdl?

I want to host off my VDS for FastDL and for my servers

Is it windows or linux?

Windows

Install IIS using the role manager. You can google to find a ton of guides from Microsoft and users on how to do this. After that, configure MIME types like I said before if you just want to host fastdl on the web server.

What is MIME exactly?

I hope this answers more questions than it raises: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_media_type

Basically, they tell the web server how to deliver the files based on their extension. Here is where to find them in IIS:


Here is the MIME type I have set for my fastdl site(the top one):


I repeat this is insecure and you shouldn't use this MIME type for any actual website, a file mirror which is what fastdl is, is fine though.
