    How does one go about setting one up?

    I am completely new to this aspect of X and any help would be appreciated.

    My purpose for the server is to run my own site, with a php/mySQL news script called DMA News.

    Currently I have a 400Mhz iMac connected to the net via Airport via a cable modem.

    Thanks in advance.

    Yeah - see the link Rower posted...

    basically, you already have Apache setup... to run PHP and MySQL takes a little bit more work... but not very much

    ya I recommend Marc Liyanage's site. I tried the O'Reilly stuff and Marc's stuff seemed to be a little more helpful....er, well at least to the point :D

    Alright here's where I stand currently:

    I followed the first part of the tutorial..not hard at all. :rolleyes: :D

    I have the http://IPaddress/~short name setup and can access it on my brother's computer.

    I am running it through our Airport network. Will the server work with a dynamic IP address?

    I tried to set up the cgi scripts and chmod them through the terminal, but it did not work.

    Ah well. I'll work on it somemore this weekend.

    hitman, i used mac os x server to host three sites on my powermac. can you buy os x server? that makes it much easier. if you can't good luck. once you get apache up and running, you will still need a domain name server (or you can pay dotster 5 bucks a year) and they will be your dns.

    yup, OSX server makes it almost to easy. I'm still looking for a graphical front end for Apache myself (free is always good). Am I assuming too much thinking you are already registered with a dynamic DNS server?

    cheers!

    if anyone feels so inclined, please explain the function of a dynamic dns. I assume from the name that it allows you to point www.anyname.com to a dynamic ip. but how does it update with the new ip address?

    thanks
