Im looking to set up a home server at subdomain.mydomain.com I want this home server to store php files and be able to execute them. The home server is planned to be a typical 2tb external hdd networked with an airport extreme. Im decent with networking and can get the server itself set up fairly easily but the problem comes if I go to http://subdomain.mysite.com/file.php its important that the php is executed and the html it delivers is displayed.
Ive never set up a server before so can someone list what I need to install for this to work? The php scripts of mine basically generate links to all the files on it in an orderly array, this will be used for me accessing all my videos (without me having to specify links for the 500+ files) remotely via a web browser specifically iPhones and an iPad will be accessing these videos. I know this isnt ideal but putting all these files up on my main server would take a very long time as its about a 700gb supply. I need to be able to run php 5 scripts off this server but with my low server setup experience some input as to what I need to install to the hard drive and what versions to install. If I need to install an OS to the hard drive I would prefer linux as that is what runs on my main server.
The following languages are used in the pages I plan to add.
PHP 5
HTML
Javascript
And because I know someone is thinking this: No I am not trying to start a mobile porn site.
