i know trying to host on a dail up is a waste of
time. thats not the idea... i just need to get the http server up and running on
the dail up before i get a propper line for hosting...
so lets say i connect via dail up and my
internet IP is 255.255.255.255 for arguments sake...
should i then configure the Listen directive to
"Listen 255.255.255.255:80"?... i asume if this is the case i hav to change this
IP every time a dail cuz the IP is dynamic? this isnt a perminant thing... i
just need to get it working before i spend money on a fast line and a proper
server
we just swiched over our gateway to
mandriva 2007 spring free linux over the weekend and set it up to dail and
file share over our home network... i cant seem to locate my internet IP... how
can i get it from my linux gateway?
and how exactly do i get a DNS set up? i hav "BIND
DNS sever" installed on my linux gateway... will this sort out my DNS problem?

hey
well
like i said im realy flying blind here... i literaly just changed
those
directives in my httpd.conf file and nothing else...
the
article i read said 192.168.1.1 is a "safe"
ip reserved for testing and
will not be relayed over the
internet...
im thinking my internet connection might be the
problem...
im on a dail-up connection <sigh> which i get
through an internet gateway on
my home network and it seems like my
internet ip is not static (it changes
every time i dail). as for the DNS
i have no idea even how to set a DNS
server up ...YET...
weve been
having problems with our internet gateway which was running on win
XP pro
so were in the process of changing the OS to mandreva linux 2007.
when
thats done ill probably start using my apache on there...
in the
meanwhile i can already connect to the net through my new linux
gateway
so ill continue to use apache on my win XP mashine. what do u think
a
can do about my problem?
thanx a million for the
help

Your problem likely isn't an apache problem at all. First, what is the

192.168.x.x
is safe because it is considered a private range and is not routable across
the internet. So 192.168.1.1 is fine to
use as long as no other computer on your local LAN is using that IP.
However, before apache can use it, your OS has to actually be listening to
that address in the first place. You can go to window's tcp/ip advanced
settings and add that address as a secondary IP and Apache should be able to
use it.
However, it sounds like you've got an internal network already
since you're using a gateway. Drop to a dos box and type "ipconfig /all"
and look to see what your box's internal IP is. Use that and you should
have the same results as 127.0.0.1.
Don't even try to host a site on
a dialup, dynamic IP. You're just wasting your time.
