ThA_FiLeR Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Hi there, does anyone know any good places that has info on hosting your own webserver, some guy asked me if I could set it up. They have have like 8 computers on a network with T1. I'm sure I could do it with a little bit of info and what tools to use, since I have allot of experience with networking and webpages...Thanx for all your help!

zivan56 Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Basically if you want a free and powerful server go with Linux. I prefer Debian Linux (if you do get it, you should only download the 1st cd)Once you get it running, you need to install the components (as root) with the following:apt-get install apacheapt-get install php4apt-get install mysqlapt-get install sshThen you just put your files in /var/www and you have a web server. Make sure you disable XF86 since its just a memory hog if you are running a server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThA_FiLeR Posted November 1, 2002 Author Share Posted November 1, 2002 hmm, I don't know anything about linux, but those computers are running NT 4 or 5 so it'll do. I wouldn't wanna install linux, because I don't have any clue how to install drivers, whatsoever. Any way to do it in windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamehead200 Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 I have a web server up on my XP machine in my basement. Its been on for 2 weeks straight w00t ! Hasn't frozen on me once! I use this cheap little prog that opens up port 80 and lets people view my index.html page! Not that great right now... http://joker.servehttp.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lezend Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 www.foxserv.netI don't like foxserver. I hope you stick with apache. Much more stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThA_FiLeR Posted November 2, 2002 Author Share Posted November 2, 2002 apache didnt work out after messing with it for 2 hours (it would only view on network not on outside connections), then I tried Analog X SimpleServer and it ran in a minute!

zivan56 Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 Thats probably because you downloaded some "All in one" version of Apache, go to http://www.apache.org and download the latest win32 binary, then you put your files in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\AnalogX SimpleServer is a simple server as it suggests, and probably would not handle any size of a website, would not recommend running anything on it as it is probably very buggy and has many security problems (or at least according to their change long ).

Crispy Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 Apache is ok ... But if you want setting up the server to be superbly easy, try abyss web server HEREIts properly not very secure, but its small (~120kb), fast and easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongHorn Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 FoxServ has Apache in it Lezend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pztup Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 Apache 2 + PHP 4.3 + Mysql 4. To configure php with apache just add these lines to httpd.conf in your apache folder.http://httpd.apache.orghttp://www.php.nethttp://www.mysql.com#Start PHPLoadModule php4_module "Location of php4apache.dll(If you are using apache 1) or php4apache2.dll(if you are using apache 2)"<FilesMatch ".*.(php4|php)$"> ForceType application/x-httpd-php</FilesMatch>#End PHP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
