 Posted: Mon Mar 24, 2008 9:41 pm Post subject: How To Make a Webserver |
 |
|
I will attempt to write a guide for each operating system. First, i will start with Linux/Ubuntu/Debian.
----Why make a webserver?----
A webserver is basically free webhosting! Although you don't get a good domain (your domain is your IP address), it is a full fledged webhosting system... on your computer! You can go buy a very cheap domain, or just get a free sub domain (www.freedomainco and some nr thing).
----HowTo: Make a webserver on Linux Ubuntu/Debian--
Well this is very fast and very easy.
1) Open up your Terminal and type in
| Code: | | sudo apt-get install apache2 |
You have to be super user
2) Go to your router via your web browser, and open Port 80 to Apache2. Google around on how to open Port 80 to Apache2... It is different for each router, so i cannot help you here. If you have Comcast and a Linksys router, PM me. I can help 
3)Now your done. Go to http://localhost/ and if you see it saying "it works", you are done! Now you can go to /var/www/ and edit your site as you please.
4) Now your probably going to want PHP and Mysql. Okay, well it is very simple to install those things. Just type into your terminal
| Code: | | sudo apt-get install php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server |
5) Now you are DONE! Congratz.
----HowTo: Make a webserver on Windows!----
1) Be Patient. Windows XP and Vista are not friendly with Apache.

Or you can run DSL in your windows, and run Apache in DSL
*DSL= damn small linux

OH yes that is an idea.
Do you guys still want an XP + Vista version? Maybe Mac if that is even possible.
