What Ellann says is a crucial point for most people who want to set up a home pc as a web server and the posters on this thread seem to be. Nearly all broadband access or dial up for that matter is allocated an address on the internet on a temporary basis. All web servers have and need a static IP address allocated. The only way around this is a service like DynDNS as mentioned above. It checks back with the service every so often and keeps your allocated IP ‘in sync’ with the IP associated with your Web site address. It is a little trick to set up but the alternative is a rented server/space or a leased IP address, both of which are a lot more expensive.

Hi. The way I gave my server a domain name is I use DynDNS. This service allows you to use a subdomain for free or you can purchase or transfer a domain that will keep up with your ip address. Using DHCP your PC’s ip address changes. This service will point the chosen domain name to your server even when it changes. All for free.

@Jalpesh

if you follow the procedure menctioned above it will work without any problem if you want to run php script from command line you need to make sure you have installed php4-cli and run the script with “php scriptname”

Hi , I need to run php files from the command line with the default configuration which we have after installing the LAMP server. Can anyone help me in this? I tried installing PHP4 by using apt-get, but was not able to configure properly, resulting in a total screup of the system. Can anyone help me??

Dears
Right now I installed Ubuntu on my server completely with every needed services but I need such a toturial which have a step by step guide for using web services in Ubuntu. for example when I want to know how can I define a new DNS, I can follow those steps and do my task. and also for other services.
for example in such version of Linux it is possible to use Plesk for managing every task in the operation system environment so easy but I can not use it now. there is no problem to do everything manually but if I can have a good manual.
thanks for your attention. I am waiting for your help.

@Vrjesh

You have to assign the public ip address for your server and you can also enter the hostname.If you want to view your webserver over the internet you can view through ip or domain name.If you want to domain name you need to register this in DNS
