I'm trying to install Apache Web Server on
my Slackware box, however, the linux box is
behind a network. I know I'm going to have
great troubles with configuring this. I've
tried using several tuts on how to install
and configure this beast, but I've had no
success. I'm aiming for a webserver where
people outside can edit their webpages.
This is the fourth time now, and all I've
done is unpacked Apache, ./configure, make,
and make installed it. I have my router
configured so that all data on port 80 gets
sent to the linux box. Now how do I
configure Apache? I know it can't be that
difficult, and I'm guessing all I have to
do is edit the httpd.conf file and I can
get some stuff working. What goes in the
ServerName spot? Since I have no domain
registered to this, I need to use an IP
address, but do I use the computer's LAN IP
or the network's WAN IP? How do I add users
and give them their own directories to work
with? Thanks for any help
