Setting up a home server

[Tech1]

I want to set up a home server to learn how to run a server, since i'm not allowed to host websites on my connection, i want to make it a local website via the network only.

I'm going to install redhat 7.3 on a 200mhz machine, what do i need to know?

Configure your network (you will find a lot of how-to's on the subject).
Install Apache on one of your computers.
[nabis@trinity:nabis]$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.2 trinity.tiny.net trinity
192.168.0.1 tower.tiny.net tower
Exactly the same /etc/hosts is on tower.

Let's say tower has Apache. We start the sever on tower with /usr/sbin/apachectl start or /etc/rc.d/rc.httpd start

Then we open mozilla on trinity and enter http://tower.tiny.net or http://192.168.0.1

Hi

Just pretty well halfway through writing up a 'walkthrough' for the same thing.

PLEASE, PLEASE note this is by no means finished. The only thing I can say is that it's accurate so far. Should give you plenty of pointers, though.

Also, it uses RH9

File attached.....(Windows Format. Open Office sxw avail. if required) NOTE Never used 'zip' with any joy. Rename the webserver.zip to webserver.gz, then use whatever tools you need to extract.
