I've got comcast cable and a linksys router.

To see this server from the outside world what do I have to type in the address bar?

I'm guessing I put the server in the DMZ.

I'm not static so my ip will change every now and then but today it's 68.33.158.181

the box with the apache server is 192.168.1.201

So what would you type into the search bar?

I think I just answered my own question.

Click here and you should see an ass http://68.33.158.181/

Click here and you should see that php is installed and running http://68.33.158.181/php.php

download a client and you're ready to go. no more typing in the ip and the clients automatically update when the ip changes

with mysql,php5,apache2 and an ftp server all thrown in together.

My new server screams with it's Celeron 300a chip 256mb of the best sdram money can buy and a whopping 14 GB of hard drive storage space. The OS is on a 6 gig western digital drive and the page file and programs are on the 8 gig Western digital drive. She is a speed demon!!!

Yay!!!!

Mine was actually a point regarding performance. Such modest hardware would fare better running something slimmer than 2000/XP. Don't be mad. Ignorance is supposed to be bliss

I realize Linux is the shit for people who know computers inside and out.

For the rest of us it'a mystery.

I grew up skiing. I started when I was three. I don't even remember the learning process. I'm a kick ass skiier. A few years ago I tried to learn to snowboard. It was really difficult for me. I can make it down the hill but it's not pretty.

I learned basic windows 7 years ago. It was difficult but interesting. Compared to many of you I am a newbie moron. Compared to the average home user I am a god.
So here I am feeling like god, with all my computer powers and then someone say's Hey you, come and learn Linux. It's hack proof and stable and it's less bloated. Only problem is you are going to have to start back at step one. As interested as I am, I don't want to take another 5 years of learning to get to the point that I m already at with Bills OS.

Win 95, 98 and 2000 were unstable. I run XP for months at a time without a crash. True XP is bloated, So I turn off half the services it ships with. Linux is free, So is XP if you get it off of Limewire. XP is not secure, but with a cablemodem/firewall and some software you are somewhat safe. In 7 years I have never had a virus that did any real damage. I'm not saying I don't get viruses, but I can usually catch them before they do anything or find a fix for the ones that get through. My basic point is overall I'm pretty happy with XP. It does what I ask of it.

So anyway if the dick message was directed at me I'm sorry for being a dick. I like the ideas behind linux I just don't have 10 hours a day to learn it like I did with windows products 7 years ago.

--------------------

--------------------

rb - you haven't stopped being a dick yet.

--------------------

and possibly a homo.

Anyway, I don't even care. You're being silly. I'm sorry, Flux, if I offended you somehow. Okay?

My Sql has made it easy to migrate Access databases :-)

eh, just don't let it happen again.

doublefresh (i can never remember if everyone abbreviates your name as 2X, or if that's someone else) - why are you importing Access databases? Just curious. I've never worked with Access myself, but MySQL isn't too bad. I like MS SQL Server myself, but there's no way in fuck any sane person would buy it for their own simple HTTP server.

I've set up Apache and MySQL before on XP, but getting MySQL set up was a bitch.

Access has wizards for lazy people. They actually work quite well.

MySql has a database import tool that will convert my access databases into MySql databases.

It worked very well :-)
