How do I set up a linux web server? Can someone send me detailed explanations? Give a man a fish, and you've fed him for a day. Teach him to fish, and you've fed him for a lifetime. Create an artificial scarcity of fish, he will eat steak.

Go to www.apache.org and click on the HTTP Server link to the upper left side of the page. Then find the docs. Most likely your distribution of linux includes Apache. Be sure to come back and let us know if our suggestions helped!

Thanks. I'll do that.

On my Mandrake box, everything was already configured and apache was running by default. If that is the case, all you have to do is look in the apache config file (probably at /etc/httpd/config/httpd.conf) and figure out where directory is set as DocumentRoot. Let's say that DocumentRoot is set to /usr/local/webs. Then if you create directory at /usr/local/webs/myweb and put an index.html page in there, you can access it thru a browser at http://localhost/myweb or http://pcname/myweb Be sure to come back and let us know if our suggestions helped!
