[PHP] SERVER INFO
Hi all, I appologise if this is off topic but I don't know who to ask. I hope you guys don't mind. Does any body know where I can find information about the steps of setting up a server(LINUX) so that people can find a certain URL address? I want to sent up a small server for myself from home with my machine but I don't know how to make it so that the web pages that I put in my server accessable by other people around the world. do I have to connect my modem into my phone line (online) all the time or...??? Does my question make any sense? any help is welcome. regards, Dani -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi, Yes, you have to be connected while someone looks at your site. A webserver on a modem would be terribly slow, but possible if you just want to expiriment. If you want to start 'quickly' without too much RTFM, find out what webservers are good and have an installer package for your platform/distribution, sometimes these are even pre-compiled. bvr.

It sounds, as you are a newbe. Setting up a linuxbox is one thing, getting it in the internet is another. Better way is to look for a provider (maybe free, or free php) to put the pages there. That´s cheaper then having the linuxbox be connected to the internet via a phone-line. (mh.. what about an IP ?) If you want to do PHP, set up a linux server as described in the link (see th other reply) test your stuff locally and when you´re ready put them on the provider´s machine. You´ll save a lot of money and time. look in the archive for free php spaces. HTH Oliver -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] SERVER INFO
Dani, you have so much to learn. There are many issues to be considered when creating a webserver, but all are within your grasp. I suggest a trip to your local bookstore to get a copy of Running Linux. Read every page, every single page. Then you will know the answer to your question, and where to find more answers to the questions you will certainly have after reading the book. You will need to know about filesystems, text editors (VIM Emacs Joe Jed), TCP/IP, DNS, PPP, web server configuration, security, users and groups, make, /usr/bin/sh, etc. The list of links I would supply you with for information about the steps of setting up a server(LINUX) so that people can find a certain URL address? would quite large. I would also suggest locating a local user group in your area and join a newbies list for your Linux distribution (I've found these to be the best behaved and most informative lists on the internet). Good luck, feel free to ask me anything you like off the list. I'll try to be as helpfull as I can. DAve Dani wrote: Hi all, I appologise if this is off topic but I don't know who to ask.
