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
