I'm a complete newbie, and want to run my own
Webserver. Paying $9.95 for only 500 megs when my website is huge is stupid,
when I have a DSL line, and a static IP. Apache 2.0 was recommended, as I need
to run multiple domains (virtual hosts), which include subdomains. First off, I
did buy two books to set up Apache, but I'm still confused. Can anyone recommend
a Windows GUI interface for configuring and using Apache? Comanche is
recommended in one book, but it's not working right now, according to the
author's website.
If nothing is available for free (I'm on
Disability, and the husband is paying for the DSL line, etc. HE is the one that
wants the webserver in our house), I hope the information on the Apache website
will get me where I want to go. I assume that Apache will work through a
firewall, and can handle email. I HOPE it can handle email, otherwise, I need to
run something like WinServer (Wildcat), and I'd rather just run Apache right
now. I have to run BOTH, if I want message boards, because WinServer doesn't
handle multiple domains or subdomains, which is something that is essential that
I have. If I'm wrong, please correct me.
Apache IS installed, I just don't know how to configure the httpd.conf
file. I am following the docs file on apache.org, but I have a feeling it may
not answer all the questions I have.
