Webserver Tutorial
I need a guide/tutorial on how to set up a home web server on Ubuntu [Apache]?
I've set up Apache servers with Windows before, but I'm kind of a Linux noob and I want to set up a home** Webserver with Ubuntu, running Apache. I also need to know how to assign a domain name to that server.
Any links or help?

Hopefully one of those will help out.
If you use Access to create a database, and a web form for input is it easy to host it on a website?
I am just trying to find the easiest, idiot proof way of creating a webpage to view and enter data in one basic table.
This if for my husbands company and I really don't want to get involved with the stupidity that is inevitably going to be involved in this. Too many people with no clue not knowing what they want and changing their mind every 5 minutes.
So if I can set it up so their website can just host an Access database and use Access design elements to create the webpage I can wash my hands of the whole thing.
But for some reason I just can't seem to figure it out? Anyone have a good tutorial, or has done this before and can help me out?
Their webserver hosts a virtual Microsoft Server 2003, if that helps?
Thanks.
Its brainless but you should check with your hosting provider because they prob give you SQL for free. Even though its overkill for your application it won't be apt to corrupt like Access and Access wasn't developed for the web or multiple users.
It was developed to be part of the Office suite for personal use.
Here's a better suggestion for a database.
For a Free Database:

The program to build your app:

to practice with and then copy it straight to your SQL Server. Or just use it locally from one of your machines.
Access uses a watered down version of VB so if you can program in Access you'll like this.
Making my computer a webserver?
I have my hard disk partitioned into an operating system and documents partition and a webserver partition (8gb). I would like to allow myself to place that partition on the internet so I can access it from anywhere using just a web browser. Can you explain any help to me and possible a link to a great tutorial that will help me- message me if you need more information.
Edit: I just want to make my 8gb drive accessable via the internet using an IP address. I am running windows on my computer.
What operating system, Windows, Linux?? You can just add Apache web server (for the correct OS) and setup the partition as the "apache root".
The setup can be automatic with WAMP (windows apache mysql php) or LAMP (linux apache mysql php) or XAMPP http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
just do a quick search on those to find setup packages. You will have to configure the server, once installed, to use the area you setup for the web server!
Second, or perhaps first, you need to check with your ISP line provider to see if servers are allowed. They are disallowed by many ISP's unless you have a business class line! So don't get in trouble, check with them!
ADD - since you say you just want to access the drive by an IP using a web browser you still need some program to allow that! Try gotomypc or Himachi, or RealVNC but somehow you have to have a way to communicate with that drive. Web browsers have to have support to work.
You can also use a NAS drive with proper software which allows access. http://the-gadgeteer.com/review/maxtor_shared_storage_ii
But in any case, the system has to support the connection.
how to create a website that can download file?
Hello. can someone help me in my project? do anyone of you know a tutorial site or source code that uses mysql database in creating a website that can download a file directly from the webserver?
Save the file path in a field on the database and in your page just include the following:
target=_blank>Download
Setting up an effective webserver?
I have an 8gb hard drive partition which I would like to "place" on the internet so I can access the files using its IP address once its on the internet.
How would I set something like this up and are there any tutorials I could use to do this? I have a wireless router and understand that my computer would need to be on to access it.
Remember that: It is only a file server if you like, housing only files NOT webpages etc...
If you need any more info/think you can help me; add me and then mail me on Y!A :)
You can do this a number of ways.
You can use Logmein professional or other remote software to transfer files from there and back.
You can set up a VPN which is secure and then simply copy from the drive like any other local computer. The easiest VPN to set up is Hamachi. Their documentation should provide the information that you need.
You will need an ip address accessible to the outside. There are DNS services that would allow you to use a changing ip address. DynDNS provides dns for your ip address if it's variable.
Setting up SQL help!?
Sorry I am a total noob at SQL, this is the first time ive tired to use SQL. I have been trying to find a tutorial but no luck, I understand the SQL codes, but I don't understand where I put them. I cant just type a 'create table' code into a html document. Do I have to use access? someone help me just set up the database. I use apache webserver if I need to configure that first or whatever. thankyou.
If you are using Apache (in a Unix environemtn), you will probably want to use MySQL as your database server (the commands are simple and it usually does things the way you would expect). Check out the docs for installing and configuring here:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/installing.html
PHP is probably the scripting language you want to use when communicating with the database. Go to http://www.php.net and check the documentation for mysql_connect to get started. All you need are the hostname (usually localhost), databasename, username and password to connect.
How do I add Virtual Hosts on XAMPP? Please help.?
I'm trying to add Virtual Hosts on my Webserver for my family.
It is running XAMPP.
How do I add a Virtual Host?
I read all the forum threads on Google, I read the Apache and XAMPP documentation. But, it doesn't seem to help.
I try everything they say.
I use their examples and try to change every line, but it still does not work.
Anyone have any good sites that helped them?
Or does anyone have a tutorial on this?
Thanks so much
Well, this tutorial looks pretty good for this.

Apache is well, apache and basically you add a directory for each "domain" then add a line into the apache.conf or http.conf or httpd-vhosts.conf (depends on version of xampp) file to point to each directory.
you would add something like the following,,
NameVirtualHost *:80
