Why are you even going to set it up online than ? There's no way its going to be safe a hundred percent safe on web just like anything else..

So, just install wamp or any other local server package, install on your pc, and run it locally.. If you ever feel like publishing you can easily upload the whole install already.Seems the best option to me.

I don't think wamp will work under linux. :D

I will be installing locally. Since my computer connects to the internet if b2 pings or sends out a feed my diary will become public. I still want to make sure my notes don't get published.

While I was looking for a solution to this, I came across a TurnKey LAMP Appliance. I may put b2evolution in that and just not connect the appliance to the network.

FWIW I'm running LinuxMint on my laptop and FreeBSD on my home server.

I suggest making your blog private.

Edit the blog1.php file (or whatever file your blog is) and add this:

$login_required = true;

I put it between:

require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/conf/_config.php';

$login_required = true;

require $inc_path.'_blog_main.inc.php';
?>

This way, seeing the blog will require a password. I'm not sure if it's 100% safe though.

-_- i rest my case

...and I say thank you for your help. I've got the appliance loaded and got b2 installed. Had to look to the back of my brain to remember how to install a database from the command line.

This means everybody who is registered will be able to view the blog? Is it possible to allow only specific usernames (admin)?
