Install Webserver

Problems with wordpress install on webserver?
I've installed wordpress on my hosted webspace (using 1and1), and everything went soomthly and I got through to the admin panel. After logging in, when I click on view site it opens up the address but there is no blog there - nothing! Can someone please tell how I can possible resolve this? P.s. I'm installing in the root directory. Many thanks

You can check whether there is a theme installed in your blog. Usually these themes are located in the wp-content folder. Check it out. Maybe a problem with regards your theme that is why nothing shows. If there is a theme you can then check whether this theme is present in your admin control panel (wordpress). If there is no theme, you can download a theme and put it in your wp-content.

how do I install apache webserver on XP?!?
Hi. I am having trouble installing apache web server on xp. I downloaded the necessary zip file, unzipped it into it's own directory and, according to the online instructions I'm supposed to run " httpd -k install" from the apache "bin" directory. However, when I unzipped the apache .zip file it did not create an apache "bin" directory. What is wrong? -AZC7

You may find this a bit easier to deal with... http://www.apachefriends.org/en/index.html there is a windows installer here http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html hope it helps Nigel

Web based file transfer service for a webserver?
I am looking for a free service or application I can install onto a webserver to let two people transfer files through the webhost. I dont want stuff like pipebytes because the speeds on 128kbps, but actually something I can upload onto a server to let people do that. Are there any open source projects that let you do that?

Nearly all webservers include FTP (file transfer protocol) programs. I don't know of a single web host that doesn't supply FTP as that is the normal way to "load" the website. Just get a good FTP Client, like WSFtp, or FileZilla http://filezilla-project.org/ and move the files to the server. Web transfers will be done at the speed of your internet connection so if you have a slow connection, the transfer will be slow also! Add: and if you really want to do this through a Web Browser try http://www.paknpost.com/ Its an interface to files using a browser.

How can I install PHP and mySQL on to the OSX default webserver?

Google is your friend ... from a basic search query (http://www.google.com/search?q=php+osx+mysql+install&hl=en&lr=&start=10&sa=N) I came up with the following suggestions which might be of help :- http://mamp.info/en/home/ http://developer.apple.com/internet/opensource/php.html http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060404073229506 http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/

How to pick a linux distro / version for a secure webserver.?
I'm looking to install linux on an intel 800mhz p2, 256 mb ram,20G HD. I'm not looking for a fancy desktop or games. All I'm interested in is a locked down secure webserver with at least mysql apache and php (lamp as I've heard it called). Aside from being able to run on my current hardware my major concern is being hacked and having to reformat my box every two weeks. I plan on a dedicated webserver running one web page which total files will be around 5gb. Any suggestions?

Your php installation isn't loading the msyql extension; you need to perform a few manual steps including updating php.ini: http://us.php.net/mysql

i have debian linux (kernel 2.4 i think) and i want to set it up as a webserver?
Again : I have debian linux with a 2.4 kernel (i think) and during the installation of this version i installed the desktop enviroment package. I saw that there was a webserver option but i didnt select it at that time but i now want to install that package, could anyone help me (step by step would be very nice). Once i have this package installed i want to configure this linux to be a webserver accessible from inside and outside of my network, e.g host my own site. I know it can be done but i just need it in a way which isnt confusing and helpful. So i want to : 1) Install the webserver package of Debian Linux (i have desktop enviourment installed with a 2.4 kernel i think) 2) I want to be able to set up this linux system to host website so that i can become a website hoster / reseller. = Step by step instructions will be helpful, i have yahoo messenger and it would be very grateful if you can help me. I have the linux system running on a Virtual Machine at the moment, have a pc.

Hello, Try uname -a, to find out what version of the kernel you are using. You have big plans for something that you seem to know very little about, you will need to learn quite a bit to accomplish these tasks. apt-get install apache , will install the apache web server onto you machine. If you are using the KDE, I like to use kpackage. You can open it from a command line as long as you have xhost properly setup otherwise you can search through the start menu for it or launch it with the run command. This should be good for a start, if you are interested let me know how it goes. Good luck

What are the step to create a forum and webserver?
Im trying to build my own web server for my forum and i plan to use SMF for the forum engine. I know that it requires apache+php+mysql and i already got the installer. from this point i dont have a clue how to set the server up. do i just install them or i need to do something else to get it working? do i need phpmyadmin? im using windows xp. (dont suggest using Wamp5)

phpMyAdmin makes maintaining the database much easier, but it's not necessary, just nice. (But it's free, so why not?) You'll also need to make sure that your port 80 is reachable from the internet to that computer. (If you're running a router, or if your modem does address translation, you'll have to forward the port to the computer.) Also, some providers block port 80, so you'll have to run somewhere else - port 81, port 8000, port 8080 are common ones. You should be all set. (I never ran SMF, although I looked at it, but I run a few other things from "just plain computers" with no problems. (Not now - there were plenty of problems learning enough to have no problems.) If you start getting enough traffic, though, you may want to move to a host for 2 reasons: 1) Your connection won't be able to handle the traffic, so people will always complain about not being able to connect, or the forum being slow. 2) Your provider may complain, because you're not supposed to be running a server. (That depends on your provider - mine doesn't like it, but they don't complain about very light usage.) IIRC, SMF just requires PHP and MySQL. Join the SMF forum and talk to people who have it running on their own computers.

Which is the best: Install PHP as ISAPI or CGI?
I want to install PHP on Apache web server, running on Windows XP Professional Edition. This webserver is for testing only (development), and not accessible from outside (Internet). I have two options: A. Install as ISAPI B. Install as CGI What must I choose? Which is the best? Why?

General speaking, they are the same thing. However, if you are using XP Pro edition, i personal thinks that CGI is better. Here is why. PHP is just a server side script which needs a interpreter either with ISAPI (which is part of IIS from microsoft) or you use the CGI interpreter which comes with the PHP installation software. The major thing you have to ask is what you planning to do with your php script. For example, if you are writing a memory high depending software, in additional, it is accessed by multi users at the same time with very high rate, you better go off with ISAPI because you have less chance to crash and you can use ISAPI pool to prevent it. Hope this helps
