okih-imus Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Downloaded ans installed Apache2. No idea what to do. I would like PHP and MySQL. I don't even know how to set it up to display a simple web page. I have a router and I enabled DMZ and I have no firewalls. I am running Windows98SE. Where do I begin? The first step is I want to know how to see my webpage and how to host a page. Please help me. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 You should be able to open a webpage from the apache webserver once its been installed.Try http://127.0.0.1 in your browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyko Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 When you install Apache 2, it is installed in a directory C:\Apache2\. Inside of this directory, should be a htdocs directory, which is your root spot to place your webpages. As far as PHP and MySQL are concerned, download both of the latest releases of PHP and MySQL, following the instructions on installing them, and you'll be okay!

okih-imus Posted April 9, 2004 Author Share Posted April 9, 2004 I have it installed. I use a router and the ip of my router is 192.168.0.1. My local ip is 192.168.0.102. I tried my ip 68.xx.xxx.xx but that didn't work either. Don't I need to run anything? I clicked on this thing that says "Start Apache in Console" and it makes my PC go extremely slow. So slow that in order to shut down the program I have to restart my machine unless I wait about five minutes. So I didn't get to test it out. Apache is installed at D:\apache\Apache2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Have you tried http://127.0.0.1 or http://192.168.0.102?Your Internet address may not work if your router doesn't support local loopback to the LAN. You can ask friends online to check for you.Also check that the Apache service is running in Services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datalore Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 If you're behind a router you need to forward the ports to your PC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
