BarracudaDrive 3.9 Beta

Real Time Logic Announces BarracudaDrive 3.9 beta, an easy to use web server for small businesses and home use. The new beta version includes both a free Content Management System and an Electronic Bulletin Board.

Orange County, CA March 12, 2008 - David Burgess, Software Manager of Real Time Logic, announced the availability of BarracudaDrive 3.9 beta.

BarracudaDrive is an easy to use Web Server for non techies and is now available with a free license. The included license for the 3.9 beta version expires Wednesday, June 11, 2008 with only some features expiring.

The new version includes a Content Management System (CMS) and an Electronic Bulletin Board (forum).

The free CMS makes creating your own web pages as easy as creating a document in Microsoft® Word. You can edit directly using the integrated editor or paste in content from other editors such as Word. There is no need for an HTML editor or a web designer. Everything you need is already integrated into the CMS. The free CMS is so easy to use you can have your grandmother be your new webmaster.

The free forum is designed using cutting edge web-technology and looks and behaves more like a traditional Windows application than a web application. After the initial load, the bulletin board is extremely fast since the bulletin board is using AJAX technology when communicating with the server.

Online demos are now available for the CMS and the forum on our BarracudaDrive 3.9 powered web sites. As an example, you can subscribe to the following two RSS feeds:

• CMS powered blog feed: http://barracudadrive.net/blog/blog.rss
• Forum powered feed: http://barracudaserver.com/forum/rss/

In addition to the two new plugins, BarracudaDrive includes the following:

• A WebDAV server that makes it possible to map your remote BarracudaDrive server as a standard Windows drive.
• A Web File Manager that lets you manage your files using a browser, view photos, and stream music using the integrated MP3 player.
• A HTTPS tunnel server, which provides easy external Intranet access
• Various HTTPS tunnel clients such as the SSL VPN alternative GetMyLAN.

For Web designers and developers

Developers can customize and write their own applications by using the integrated scripting language Lua Server Pages, which is based on the super fast scripting language Lua. The server includes its own integrated database engine, thus making it possible to create configuration less database powered applications such as the CMS. The server also includes Bindows, a "zero-footprint" Rich Internet WEB 2.0 Application framework. Database and AJAX powered WEB 2.0 applications such as the included forum can easily be developed using the BarracudaDrive web server.

The integrated scripting language Lua Server Pages (LSP) is similar to how ASP and PHP works. BarracudaDrive LSP applications are deployed as standard ZIP files. The ZIP files, which are in the "applications" sub directory are loaded and mounted as read only file systems by the web server. The server can also load "non deployed" applications. The "non deployed" Lua Server Pages (LSP) are compiled on demand just like PHP and ASP pages are compiled.

See our online LSP documentation for more information:
