Setting Up a Web Server for Free with Apache

woohoo i did it! :P 5/5

Create an acount with DynDNS. Then click on "Add New Hostname" in your account. You will be ask to ether get a completly customised Hostname (witch you will have to pay for) OR you can get a sub hostname you can the enter in your own firs word at the top the selecting a choice of whetever ending they provide (this part is free). you will then be asked for your IP address, you can get the for whatismyip. remember to set your hub to update the setting if it can suport that.

hey how would i go about getting a name using DYNDNS? what or where do i klik on?
thank you

Thats for the video.makes users one understand easily.Bravo i appreciate.had problems earlier ,now solved.

try following " Make Your Local Apache Web Server Live To The Internet". don't worry too much about the router being slightly different you just need to find the setting in the router.

hey would it be possibl for you to make my server available to the internet to share files with my friends like using windows remote assistance? because i have no idea how to do this. ive installed it already but, i cant make it live to the internet.
thank you

I will Email you a link to install apache.
the robotic voice is generated by a program called Text Aloud. Sorry if my question "have you ever installed apache before?" seemed frustrated, it was not it was actually linked to the second sentence.

no, this is my first time using apache..if you dont mind..can you email me the intructions on how to do this? and also what program are you using to use the robot voice?

have you ever installed apache before? some times when you uninstall you need to go and delete the rest of the apache files in the program files. if not make sure that the apache server is actually started some times this can cause an error. also check your documentroot and Directory they should be pointing to the same path, this one is most likely to be your problem. hope this helps you.

i am using windows xp home edition

i did everything you said to do on this video but after i klik on restart, i get an error that say the rquested operation has failed.
what do i do wrong or how can i fix this?
thank you.

follow " Make Your Local Apache Web Server Live To The Internet"

how can i make it on the internet like google, youtube, microsoft ???

nice dude.

I like the computer voice.

this is for local networks. when you make it live to the internet then it might cause a risk if there was no proper firewall, sufficiently blocked ports, secured user names and password and a good anti virus software. a failure to take some of thees steps can cause the computer to be a security hazard but not because its a Microsoft windows system.

my only minus is that your platform is windows, may cause a security hazard...

but all the same good stuff man!

this is apache running on windows 2000. it acts like a real webserver like on the internet but in your local network.

what seerver is this? what is it doing?

I myself have never needed to use msql and apache at ones it seemed to complicated setup with apache. BUT, there is a site called apache friends they have a free apache server already configured with PHP MYSQL and more. i have not had a good look at it but people have toled me it very good.

some times you need to delete the cache. in your internet browsers options look for delete cache or delete temporary files.
