Ubuntu Servers :: Use Server On The Web And Actually Host A Website Or Blog
Nov 23, 2010
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?
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.
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.
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 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!
I am swamy new to linux, i would like to host my website on my home pc. I install RHEL 5 and apache but i am familiar with windows o/s. what is basic configurations

(For now) My question is Can i use xampp linux to host my website using the security of centos. i now how to use xampp but i don't now how to use centos.? try reading around but i connot event find the yum program use to install softwares.
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)
I am trying to host a local website(an wiki application) within a network. Is it necessary that all the files I need to upload should be in the var/www?
I have installed centOS Server edition on my laptop and installed apache and mysql on server, i wanted to understand how can i make my server on line and host my website on my own server. I am using MTNL Broad band, and i have one static ip, How to make web server in centOS 5.5.
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?
i have php5 and mysql on ubuntu server which is hosting a WordPress blog. i activated it remotely over the internet and it works fine still over the internet. now im home and using my local network again and now when i try to go into it with its local IP, it just shows some text (blog title, posts and so on) with NO pictures.
I have small home atom-server on netbook (with damaged screen) with Intel Atom N450 1.6Ghz CPU and 1GB of RAM. I am looking for web server, that would not eat much resources when hosting wordpress blog (up to 50-100 readers at once in veeeeeery far future) - posts in most cases will be only text based, without big images or archives (I'm not sure if it is important).The brain of my atom-server is latest 32-bit ubuntu server, without X's, I access it from ssh console only. It is already:
- proxy gate for my internal network (squid) - my gmail backup/IMAP (dovecot & getmail) - file server for my internal network (samba)
I'd like to install an IRC server on my website (it's hosted on another server location).I can log into the server side of things but am not sure how much control I have of installing applications. I'd like an IRC that's easy to install and easy to set-up. I logged into the cPanel page of the site and found this "general server information":
when i type localhost i can see the page, when i type 127.0.0.1 i can see the page, when i type 192.168.0.30 i can view the page when i type the websitename.dyndns.info i can't seem to view the page or when i type 96.24.144.216 can't see the page.
I've installed LAMP and I can now log into phpmyadmin.I've been sent the website I need to work on, but I don;t know how to install it to the server. I need to put an RSS feed onto it.I'm new to LAMP so bare with
I 'am trying to set a web server to develop in local website, i follow the guide in server to install php mysql but i 've got this error to set up the password of mysql ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'(2)i'm a noob in linux so i don't know how to resolve it.
I have a web server in my kitchen with apache running on it. Since the upload speed is quite low due to my isp I would like to execute a bash script that uploads a file to another server through a website (which is htaccess protected) The idea in general: Someone with access to my website browses through a folder, copies a file path to an input form and presses "upload". Rather than executing a bash script directly I could have a cron job running in background that finds the path and then uploads the file to the other server I have userspace on and is accessible via sftp/ssh. The file would be than erased later after a couple of days or so. That person would be able to access the file with higher speed some time later without logging in via ssh and doing all that manually.
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?
Recently I've been earning money doing web development, php, html/css, MySQL and so on. What I have encountered a lot are clients that need a complete solution. They need their site built, but they also need a hosting solution. I've sent more than just a few clients off to GoDaddy, and quite frankly, I'd like to cash in on some of that.
It would do wonders for my business if I could offer them a hosting solution with full support on top of building their site. My problem is I have no idea how to do this. So I'd like to know how I can host multiple sites on the same server. Does anyone know of a nice guide I can follow to set this up? It's really important that I can add sites fairly easily over the internet. Since I will be away at school, I won't have direct access to the server
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?
Not sure if this post belongs here, but here it is.
Host: Win server 2003 Guest: Ubuntu server
Host: IS able to ping guest. Firewall is OFF. NOT able to access guest (which is a web-server) at browser. Guest: NOT able to ping host. Running a web server, you can check the website: (pegajosa.com) is running under that virtual Linux server.
Problem: guest needs to access host's sql database and/or any resources.
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.
I'm not sure is this is possible or not, but what I would like to do is take my public address mydomain.com and configure a virtual host something.mydomain.com only instead of having the content on the same server I would like it to point to the IP of my virtual machine that is in my private network and display that page publicly. Does anyone know if this is possible, or how to do it? I have done this with port forwards, but would like them both to be on the same port.
