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

    • Good effort, but unfortunately not very useful in the real world, since it doesn't support UEFI - which is a major drawback. More than that, most PCs these days have Secure Boot enabled by default, so unless you're tech savvy, the average joe is not going to disable Secure Boot - which means automated Windows > Linux migration programs like this will not work. And if you're tech savvy enough to know how to disable Secure Boot, then you're tech savvy enough to just flash a USB drive and install Linux the usual way - after all, the actual installation process is just point-and-click. So I don't see a use case here to be honest, especially considering the lack of UEFI support - especially when you consider that more and more Linux distros are completely dropping BIOS support (eg Fedora dropped it back in 2022). So this program is a bit too late to the party.
    • I agree with open rights group that the age check companies should be regulated but action does need to be taken imo, they may be called irresponsible parents but the fact is that many don't know how to set up blocks. Why should kids suffer because their parents don't know something? I think the UK has always been a bit like this. We don't say healthcare is your responsibility, we tax everyone and make people register with the NHS. We also don't expect everyone to brush their teeth to maintain dental health, we just put fluoride in their water assuming people aren't brushing enough, because some probably aren't or aren't doing it properly. In general, this way of doing things works.
