setting up apache on Ubuntu -- no knowledge whatsoever
I would be interested to set-up apache on my Ubuntu system for the purpose of hosting files (basically online storage ).
The problem is, aside from knowing what apache is, I have no idea how to set it up, or how it works, or the things associated with it ( common internet lingo ). Does anyone know of any slow guides that start at the beginning? (or maybe even going over it now? )  Thanks Note: I have been searching on google every once in a while, but the guides that I am looking for are written for Windows

You can IM me if you'd like. That doesn't really help anyone else with the same problem, but it would certainly be easier for me :p

Basic facts:
You'll probably start it as "root" with an "httpd" or "apache" file in "/etc/init.d". The command will look like: (apache || httpd) {start|stop|restart} Files are stored in the /var/www/ directory... by default it is writable by all users ( i think ) The config file is in /etc/apache/httpd.conf (in most cases) and you can find lots of tutorials online for httpd.conf

iignotus helped me greatly over IM, but there were a few snags.
I am going to hold off for now, avoiding any potential damage to the system.

He can't receive incoming http connections. He's not blocked as far as I can tell, and he can access his server fine on localhost.

Sounds like a firewall issue... or the port may be blocked in the /etc/hosts.* files. I assume the IP is static?

The IP is not static but that's not a problem. I know it sounds like a firewall/iptables issue but for the life of me nothing can change it. Last time I looked, Ubuntu wasn't that paranoid about security; I don't understand why it's so hard to get the server to take connections with it.

you can check apf and route to see if there are any snags there for connecting
is it just http that isnt accepting connections or is it the ip

Like I said, he can access the actual website off his computer through localhost, so httpd is definately running. This leads me to the conclusion that it's in the network layer, but that's where I get confused
