How to Setup a webserver in RedHat 9?

<< < (3/3)

jrich4:
Thank you for all of your help everyone. I am behind a Linksys router. My ISP blocks port 80, but I did like you said solo and put it at port 8080 for now. I can get to the Apache test page from any of my computers now. I guess that it is time to start creating the webpage now. Can I just type in the IP address and port into any computer's web browser connceted to the net and get to my webserver now?
Now that I have Apache up and running and can connect to it, how do I set it up with a hostname. So that someone can just type in ex.http://www.xxxxxxxxx.com and so forth? Do I need to configure Bind for that?

Thanks,

Yeah. Typing in the ip and port and it will bring ya right to it from anywhere in the world. Spiffy.(if your told the router to forward 8080, of course)

Host name. You'll either have to register (for a fee) to get one of those spiffy .coms, or just use a dynamic dns, or cjb, to get some silly, (yet not as silly as an IP address) name, like fett101.mine.nu

solo:
godaddy.com

$9 for a domain name. If you decide to go that route you'll need the Public DNS project (granitecanyon.net). Making DNS entries is kinda confusing so we'll help ya if you decide to go that route   .
