Need help to setup Apache at home

[cojo]

I got Apache running on the server locally I think. I could see the test page went I go to http://rh8server on my LAN. Now, I'm trying to setup ddclient on my server to forward my IP to Dyndns.org. I has an account on dyndns.org with custom dns....Thanks....Cojo

Oh yeah, I got ADSL with SBC with pppoe(dhcp).

you don't need ddclient, just log in to your dyndns account and update it. ddclient is simply a program that you can cronjob to do this automatically for you.

You only need to update it when your IP changes, or once every 30 days, whichever comes first. I usually just manually update it once a week (my IP changes about once a year).

fryguy, is all I have to do in dyndns.org is change the
"Data" IP to my IP?...Thanks....

nevermind. I got it working manually. I still like to get ddclient working on my machine.
