What is the EASIEST way to setup a Linux Web Server? I have a need to host some web sites, and have been trying to do so with an evaluation copy of Server 2k3. And while I have been able to get more than a few simple sites up, I am having trouble doing anything advanced, like setting up a simple in and out bound mail server, or getting PHP scripts to run. One option I am considering is seeing if there is a SIMPLE (meaning totally newby friendly) Linux build that might work. Does anyone have a recommendation on a Linux build that would include a web server, mail server and php compiler (or whatever the appropriate term is) that someone who has NEVER used linux could install, configure through some sort of reasonable "wizard," plug source files into and then go from there? Thanks in advance!

How do I find out if I have a Linux Web Server or not? Checking the Properties of My Computer shows: System: Microsoft Windows XP, Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 2. I found out that I can have a Windows XP Operating System as well as a Linux Operating System but I don't know if this also determines my web server or not and how to determine whether I have a Linux Web Server or not. First: The reason why I need to find out this answer is that I was told in answer to another Yahoo question about how to install a redirect: "If you have a Linux Web server, then do this..." Secondly: Microsoft Help says "NOTE: Windows XP and Linux can coexist on the same computer. For additional information, refer to your Linux documentation." Well, I know I have windows. I don't know if I don't have Linux. One problem is that I don't know where to find my Linux documentation--isn't there some place on my computer where I should be able to look this data up?

How to limit bandwidth on a linux web server? I have to setup a linux box as a web server. As web hosting providers do, I want to limit traffic monthly or at least meter it to know how much bandwidth has been used. What I want is what CPanel does: I want to meter the bandwidth used by services (http, pop, smtp, imap, ftp, etc.) and suspend the service if a limit is reached. This needs to be done in a per user/account basis. I have searched over internet, but I could only find solutions using iptables or similar and these solutions are only useful in a per IP or network interface basis. Another solution is use squid, but what I understand is that this can meter only HTTP traffic, not all traffic generated. I understand that CPanel is only a web interface to make easy configure a web server, and everything CPanel does can be done manually. So, if CPanel can do that... How can I do that manually? Thanks to everybody!

Setting up a linux Ubuntu web server? I am trying to install the web server now using this guide: http://www.freelydifferent.com/self-hosting/lamp-for-linux-apache-mysql-php/ Before I started, I set up putty, fowarded port 22 and 80, configured the firewall to allow access through those ports and set up a domain with dyndns. Well, installation went well, and I got the error that the guide said I would, however the pid are different numbers. That probably isn't an issue though right? I'm expecting p id will be based on systems rather than somethind standard. The guide then goes on to say type this: sudo echo ServerName localhost >> /etc/apache2/apache2.conf or in my case replacing localhost with the domain I registered at dynsys. However, I get the following error: -bash: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Permission denied What should I do?

How do you get a Fedora Core 10 Linux based web server to be viewable from the outside world? So I've been working with Linux for the last month or two, and I've almost got everything worked out with it for now, but one problem I can't find any solution to is in regards to making the web pages viewable from the outside world, or even simpler, just the computer that are attached to the same router. Due to the specific needs, I will have to end up using port forwarding later on, but for now, I'm pretty sure I shouldn't need it just to get it viewed by the other computers hooked up to the router. I tried adding the port forwarding just in case that was wrong, but it still won't work. I made sure that /etc/init.d/httpd is started and working, and the web pages are viewable under this computer, regardless of if I view using localhost, or the ip address it uses with the router (192.168.0.5, router being 192.0.1 if those two ip addresses effect anything dramatically). Any suggestions on how to try and fix this? Oh, and I'm pretty new to linux (well, at least to webservers with linux, I have done many things on linux before though...) so sorry if I have bad wording for my question, or if I'm a bit slow at understanding your answer(s). Thanks for reading, and please help me if you can. Well, I contacted some experts, and apparently there is no logical explanation for what it is doing. According to all the experts I talked to, some of who even physically accessed the computer, it should work, and be accessable from the outside world, anywhere in the world. I have some people still looking into the matter, but apparently it might require me to re-install linux or at least some of it's packages and dependances to get it working... Sorry for poor spelling, It's close to 12 PM where I'm typing from. Anyways, thanks for your answer(s)...
