( people will buy that router - just to get things done!) d) showing how to deal with more than 1 statc ip. ie. 1 static ip for the server, and one static ip that can be shared by the router for normal internet access. e) a little more on security f) backip & RECOVERY - it's important!! g) list of references & regular updates so that any unmentioned/proplematic areas are rectified. FINALLY, if you done the above, stick a ! DONATE ! link, and i am sure people will donate generously. i am sitting on a pretty good idea, i have done a great website from having no development knowledge - 50k php lines! but i cant implent it securely because of complexity of linux. if i and others like me can get our job done - we will donate $$$$ !! try it! thanks gud.. but!

improvements:

1) how did you get from ifconfig command to a graphical screen showing apache ‘it works’? are these same machine or different?

2) why not turn this article into ‘THE’ ultimate 1-stop guide to setting up a linux web server – because really that’s what every body wants to do by:

a) using diagramms

b) showing how to port/copy – wamp/xamp development accross into linux.

c) showing proper configuration of a/the best modem/router for the setup.

Thanks! One question - I switched from Windows 2003 Server with IIS6.0 to Ubuntu server with Apache but before I did that, i backed up all of my MySQL databases onto my Windows workstation. Once I have completed the install of Ubuntu server, how do I get my databases back into MySQL? And, I want to use phpmyadmin with my server so I guess I could import them back to MySQL with that... I think I answered my own question, LOL! Also, I have 3 domains that I want to host off my server... where is the config file where I can specify those domain names? Each one goes to the same IP address, but are in different folders. Thanks for any help... I guess you can tell, I'm a newbie... haha! Excellent article, Alex! Thanks!

Thankfully, all I had to do was install the firewall and forward my ports and I was good to go. I must admit, pretty sweet.

I get to the part where you say to type in the ip address and it should display a page saying "It works!" But i get a error page. Im wondering if this could be because the network im connected to is not a personal one, its from my uni. the IP address i get from the virtual machine looks kindda odd as well its like 127.0.0.1. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot for the tutorial it was good. Hey, i’ve installed on virtual box, the problem is like some other people here is that view anything.
