Ubuntu Servers :: Using Desktop Edition To Host Website
Jan 8, 2010
I'm trying to setup my Ubuntu 9.10 laptop to host a small website that I can practice and learn stuff with and I'm a little stuck at the minute.
I have got Apache2 and the LAMP stack installed okay, along with phpMyAdmin and can give my external IP to anyone with the http:// and anyone can view my website that way but what I want to do is have my IP resolve into a domain name like ooloo-website.net but I don't know how to do this.
Is there any way that I can do this like register my IP to a free DNS and domain website without buying a domain or using one of those free ones like ooloo.webhost.net or do I need to host everything myself like DNS and the domain? Can I even do all of this myself?
how do i use 2 computers to host 1 website? i have one of them running fine, and i just got the other one to use as well. one of them is completely configured without any problems(I have been hosing a website for about 2 strait years with it).also, I have a dynamic IP because the idiot ISP's wont give me a static. I am using Dyn DNS.
building your own with perhaps LAMP. It appears the purpose of one is to test websites? Is it not possible to use your server on the web and actually host a website or blog or whatever?
Are there programs for this? Really really simple page layouts that you can edit and host from a graphical desktop that has your web browsers and Pidgen and VLC media player and everything running on it at the same time?
how i can start to host my own personal website on my own server that i just created.I was wondering if there were tips you can give me or a site you can recommend me to where i can get lessons on how to host my own site on my own server using fedora 10.
In first place i am sorry about my horrible English. I want to make a web site with a virtual host of apache visible by all the computers connected to my networking. I put this in the end of the file "/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf"("192.168.1.194" is the IP address of my computer. The default gateway IP address is "192.168.1.1"):
[Code]...
It works if i go to "http://192.168.1.194/" with the browser of the computer with apache inside, but on the others PC of my networking this method don't work!
What's the difference in terms of scalability? We would be hosting videos and FOSS collaboration tools (wiki, forums, etc.) on 4 separate servers. If I install the cloud server, I will need to install the GUI anyways. The servers are all brand new
can i install ubuntu 10.04 Netbook edition in my laptop? Is there any drawback in installing in laptop? which one is better-netbook edition or desktop edition?
I have been setting up a box now and have it configured with everything I need and is running great.I would like to test out the netbook remix edition is there a way to install the desktop environment along site with Gnome (like I use to do with KDE)Would be great so I wouldn't have to re-configure drivers and such.To be able to switch from Gnome environment to Netbook remix environment.I am running Ubuntu 10.04.
I have access to a unmanaged dedicated server on the net. I am considering loading Ubuntu Server to this for web/mail/ftp serving. If I install Ubuntu Desktop to my local machine is it possible for me to administer the server using Ubuntu Desktop (using the GUI)? I connect to the net over ADSL. Any guides/advice for setting up Ubuntu as a web/mail/ftp with a key focus on keeping to secure? I know how to install LAMP but as I have root I need to learn a little more than I did when I was on a shared host.
i have a problem with my internet connection in ubuntu 8.04 server edition. if i ping to: [URL]... i get: Destination Host Unreachable but when i ping to my gateway or other pc's in my network no problems occur.
I've heard that all one needs to do to host a website is to install apache2 and then create my own webpages in /var/www. Like I could start out putting a file "index.html" in /var/www and it would show up on the web.If this is true, what would my website address be on the web?
I need to create a website for a company and then host it on my own. I'm also planning to use Dreamweaver and Windows 7 for the project. What I need to know is. 1. Can I host my created website on my own computer? 2. do i need to use any other software to host my website other than Dreamweaver? 3. Lastly is there a better alternative to dreamweaver?

I can't reach my website via http. I'm not sure but I think I just need to unblock port 80. But I can't find where a firewall has even been installed on my machine. ufw status returns inactive. sudo aptitude search firewall shows nothing installed.
Nslookup mydomain.com returns the correct IP. Pinging works.
But typing in the domain name or IP through the web browser just results in a "Network Timeout...Taking too long to respond."
Wget just hangs looking for MySiteName.com:80
VirtualHost has been set up and apache restarted. Site works fine with the ServerAlias I have assigned in my hosts file.
We have Verizon as our ISP with a dynamic IP address. We published our website but the IP changes frequently. How can we set Network address translator(NAT) so our website can be published regardless of IP changes? We don't have domain name and have no intention for one.
setting up a web server and somehow searched the net for the best secured and optimized combination of packages. To focus on an example, let say you wanted to put up a website that's most likely similar to myspace / friendster / facebook or other related social network with high traffic. It would be nice to have a step-by-step guide on what are the requirements and best combination of packages to use. I'm sure this would be of best interest to everyone specially those who are just starting up. As we are going to focus on a webserver to host our own website lets assume we have the initial hardware/software resources for our server such as
A Core2 Dou 2.33Ghz CPU with 4Gb memory, 80Gb HD Ubuntu 10.10 Server 64bit. HardwareWhat would be the advisable internet connection speed that can accommodate the type of website that we're putting up. (please consider that we are going to host this at our own home)I pressume the hardware mentioned above is more than enough but just incase, Do we need more hardware resources than the one mentioned? (considering the huge amount of photos that will be uploaded)Software What would be the best choice combination of packages for the following ?Http Server (ie. nginx, apache and etc)
Email Server (ie. postfix, courier and etc) Email Client (ie. roundcube, squirell mail etc) Database Server (ie. mysql, postresql and etc)

Issue with the 'host' command that comes with bind-utils package.We don't have any browsing/name resolution issues except to the following two sites:
[code]....
command [URL] returned:
www.aeroplan.com is an alias for www.halb.aeroplan.com. www.halb.aeroplan.com has address 207.34.195.17 ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
[code].....
I have tried to run the "host" command against different DNS caching servers I have access to all produced the same timed out error. I called Aeroplan technical support to report the issue to them and from their perspective, they have no problem accessing the website.And we don't have any problem accessing any websites ourselves if "host" return A record lookup without the timed out error.
1. It's not our firewall filtering out packet. I tried it on external facing server without firewall and got the same result.
2. It's not our DNS caching server cause same errors are observed on our ISP caching server.
3. It works on an altogether network, from a Windows Vista desktop, through IE 8.
Where would I go to find a guide on a how-to for Linux website administration? I want to learn how to create a simple site dedicated to my blog. I already have a blog hosted by wordpress. I want to learn how to administrate my own blog using Apache hosted by GoDaddy.com or some other host.
