Well...thats going to suck for people who want to visit your site when you are offline :)

You'll need web server software like Apache, and if you want PHP, you'll need MySql and some other software too. Also, being on a 56k will mean your bandwidth will be sucked up by anyone visiting your site, so your online speeds will suffer too.

You would need webserver software like Apache and possibly a DNS daemon if you want a domain name.

Do a search an google for apache and DNS (bind) howto's

ah.. that sucks... i cant even get broadband out here either... humm, well its worth having a go at

Apache can be seen as better because its open source (someone correct me if im wrong), but IIS can be good too if its secured properly, i installed IIS on my win2k server yesterday after previously having apache.

I found that PHP was easier to set up on IIS than Apache, but i think theres bundles you can download that have apache, mysql and php all put together, but im unsure if im making this up and turning insane, *think* ive seen that before.

Here is where I am at....I have IIS installed. Localhost works. But when I type in my ip, still nothing. I think it is because of my router, is there any ports that need to be fowarded?

Only port 80 i thought, could be wrong though.

If you use frontpage I'll slap you. :D If you can, use another WYSIWYG editor like Dreamweaver. From experience, frontpage produces too much non-standard code which makes it more difficult to do a switch from IIS to Apache.

For information about setting up Apache + PHP + mySQL in Linux, Go Here. I think apache has a modules that will support coldfusion. I've never used code fusion before so I could be wrong.

well, not ANYONE connected to the internet can run a webserver.

you have to be able to have incoming connections on port 80 (by default). if your server is set up on port 80 they can just type your ip (like http://1.1.1.1)

you COULD run it on a different port if port 80 is blocked (as some cable co's do)..for example, port 8080 would be http://1.1.1.1:8080

and if you want a really simple webserver so you don't have to deal with apache/IIS...if you just want to host files that don't require php or mysql or any of that, try analogx simpleserver:www http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/n...twork/sswww.htm

    • LG Electronics sees profit dip but boosts shareholder returns by Paul Hill LG Electronics (LGE) has reported consolidated sales of 20.74 trillion Korean Won (approximately $15.14 billion USD) and an operating profit of 639.4 billion Korean Won (approximately $466.75 million USD) for the second quarter of 2025. The firm saw both its revenue and operating profits decline year-over-year due to external factors such as US tariff policies, ongoing geopolitical issues in the Middle East, and a slowdown in consumer spending. While the company has faced challenges, the company is aiming for what it called qualitative growth by strengthening its subscription services, direct online sales, and business-to-business (B2B) segments. Key areas of growth for LGE include automotive electronics, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and the webOS platform. The US tariffs are a major headache for companies around the world, given the size of the market there and President Trump's demands for bringing manufacturing to the States. To combat the rising US tariffs, LGE is trying to optimize global production and refine its market-specific approaches for premium and mass-market products. While the company’s profits dipped, it announced an interim dividend of 500 Korean Won (approximately $0.37 USD) per share for both common and preferred, with another payout later in the year that should take the total for 2025 to at least 1,000 Korean Won (approximately $0.73 USD). You must be holding the stock on August 8, 2025, to get the payout on August 22, 2025. The firm also said it will cancel 761,427 common treasury shares on July 31, 2025, making shares more scarce which could increase the value of remaining shares for investors. In terms of LGE’s various business divisions, things were mixed. Its Home Appliance Solution (HS) business achieved year-over-year sales growth, maintaining profitability, thanks to a dual strategy for premium and volume segments and growth in online sales and subscriptions. Its Media Entertainment Solution (MS) business experienced declines in sales and operating profits with the latter turning negative due to market uncertainties and stiff competition. Its Vehicle Solution (VS) business showed growth in sales and operating profit thanks to increased orders from European automotive makers. Finally, its Eco Solution (ES) business saw domestic sales increase, but overseas sales growth was limited due to US tariffs. This led to a slight year-over-year drop in operating profit due to higher costs. Image via Depositphotos.com
    • "Microsoft plans to remove the MSN feed..." Yaaay, finally the horrible dumpster fire of badly translated tabloid trash is going away! Good riddance! "...and replace it with Copilot Discover..." Oh ffs...
    • Similar to how Nvidia stopped caring about the consumer market a while ago and now just pays lip service to it because it prints money.
    • Yep same as every company, sadly. The biggest bank in Australia just laid off a bunch of staff even though they made record profits, then advertised the roles in India
