Putting content on Apache Server
Hi,
Just joined your forum recently. I installed an apache server on my cpu and it works. So I put the content in the root folder. If I register a URL, how do I know what to set the nameservers to? Instead of http://localhost, is there another way I can see the root folder's documents in my browser - like do I just use my IP address? |

yes. you can type http://127.0.0.1 (same as localhost). or put your IP from the ('ipconfig / ifconfig') command in there... all of that will work. You point the nameservers to your static ip that is referenced in the ipconfig/ifconfig utility. May want to register a domain name also.

You should get no-ip. http://no-ip.com . It's a name resolution service; it gives you a static URL to your potentially dynamic IP.

That's true, and probably a good idea if its a "personal" website.
http://business_name.no-ip.com doesn't sound to professional.

How do I know if my ip is static or dynamic? And which is better?
Sorry, i'm a bit of a noob when it comes to the back-end stuff. |

I find the apache site tutorials kind of unhelpful. Is there a site any1 knows of with better tutorials?

Another way that you can tell is go to http://whatsmyip.com/ and write than series of numbers down. Then shutdown your modem for about 5 minutes. Then turn your modem back on and go back to http://whatsmyip.com/ and if the IP is different, you have a modem that leases a dynamic IP. In general, Dial-Up is static unless you choose a different location to dial to; DSL is dynamic; Cable is either-or, usually dynamic in my experiences. Also, there's not really a better or worse situation with dynamic versus static IPs; it depends on what you need connection for. If you're hosting an *actual* site, static is much better, though any name resolution service will still take a dynamic IP and make a static URL. Quote:

Ok, so I figured out my IP is static, but the problem is that I have my cpu connect to four other cpu's in a LAN. This makes my IP switch by a few digits if I switch it off. So its partially static.
If I want to host an actual site, what's the solution here? Do I just point the url to my ip and never turn off my pc hoping that it will stay the same? Is there a way to configure my network so that my ip stays the same? |

never heard of a static ip changing... but.. you can connect to your router on your LAN and port forward PORT 80 (HTTPD) to a specific machine name.
