I didn't see any other responses to this. So even though I'm not a Red Hat
user, let me at least go over the basics.
The Web server you probably want to run is called Apache, and there should
be an RPM package for it. It will install apache -- the executable itself
(httpd), a default configuration, and probably an /etc/init.d script to
start it at boot time. You may need to edit the configuration scripts
(sccess.conf and srm.conf) to the setup prefer, but tjust for getting
started the defaults will probably serve. Just start httpd (as root) and see
if it starts successfully.
Once httpd is running as a background process, it will respond to Web
connections made to your machine's IP address or, if your machine has a
hostname visible to the outside world, to its hostname. (If you don't get
the same IP address each time you dial up, connecting to it from the outside
will be a problem.)
Locally, you can test this with a Web browser on your Linux host. This might
be the text-based browser "lynx", the X-based one Nerscape, or something
else. With httpd running, connect to URL
http://localhost/
and you should see a default "home page" placeholder that gets installed
with Apache.
Until you have a full-time connection (one with a static IP address), you
won't have much luck connecting to your Web site from outside your LAN.
For more background, go to URL http://www.apache.org/ . To my surpeise,
there isn't an Apache HowTo, but apache installs include Web-based
documentation that you can view through Netscape (or whatever) connecting to
the host that is running apache.
