Setting up Apache
This is probably as good a place as any to post this question. My cable company has agreed to issue me a dedicated IP address in exchange for my sending them an additional fee each month. I presently have two web sites that are being hosted by two different web hosts. I would like to host both of them myself. I know that Apache can easily handle that problem even though they would be sharing an IP address. My problem is that I have no working knowledge of Apache. I was wondering if someone could recommend a good book or two that could walk me through the steps of setting the program up and getting it running. It has to be the sort of book that does not assume I have a college degree in Computer Science. My only other choice would be to pay someone to set the system up for me, but I would much rather learn how to do it myself. I would appreciate any assistance that someone might be able to afford me. I am presently running FreeBSD 5.2.1 if that makes any difference.

As for a book, this one is probably nice: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/apache3/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The Apache documentation, and carefully tendered questions, should be enough for a start --- as far as Apache goes. Millions of people use it --- it may feel scary at first, but it's not so bad for basic site use. For starters, make sure your ports tree is up to date, and issue the following (assuming version 1.3.x here): #cd /usr/ports/www/apache13 #make install clean (if csh or tcsh) #rehash Then: #apachectl configtest If this reports OK, open a browser to http://localhost and see if it's telling the truth Probably your more pressing problems (although I don't know what you already know about) will be DNS, security, etc Anyway, if you get that far, read the virtual hosts section of /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf and see what's up next for putting two sites on one server :-) Kevin Kinsey DaleCo, S.P. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
