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...??? It sounds, as you are a "newbe". Setting up a linuxbox is one thing,

getting it in the internet is another. Better way is to look for a provider (maybe free, or free & php) to put the pages there. That´s cheaper then having the linuxbox be connected to the internet via a phone-line. (mh.. what about an IP ?) If you want to do PHP, set up a linux server as described in the link (see th other reply) test your stuff "locally" and when you´re ready put them on the provider´s machine. You´ll save a lot of money and time. look in the archive for "free php spaces". HTH Oliver
