Re: SERVER INFO

Hi, Yes, you have to be connected while someone looks at your site. A webserver on a modem would be terribly slow, but possible if you just want to expiriment. If you want to start 'quickly' without too much RTFM, find out what webservers are good and have an installer package for your platform/distribution, sometimes these are even pre-compiled. bvr.

Hi all, I appologise if this is off topic but I don't know who to ask. I hope you guys don't mind. Does any body know where I can find information about the steps of setting up a server(LINUX) so that people can find a certain URL address? I want to sent up a small server for myself from home with my machine but I don't know how to make it so that the web pages that I put in my server accessable by other people around the world. do I have to connect my modem into my phone line (online) all the time or...??? Does my question make any sense?
