_(back to GnuLinuxIntro)_ ---+ Web Server Overview Different options for establishing a presence: hosting (shared, dedicated), co-location, in-house. Cost/benefit. Professional vs. fun. Which web server? Apache, boa, AOLServer. Let's assume Apache for our purposes. It's the most popular web server on the public internet, with more sites served than all other web servers combined. Apache documentation: * http://httpd.apache.org/docs Different categories of files: * configuration - /etc/httpd, /etc/apache * web pages - /var/www, ~/public_html * logs - /var/log/httpd, /var/log/apache Static pages vs. cgi vs. server extensions. PHP. Startup, shutdown. /usr/sbin/apachectl Good server hygeine * Check logs: access logs, error logs * Keep up with patches Case study: the Caboteria http://www.caboteria.org/. The goal is to have fun so it's run on a cable modem with DNS hosted by a DNS hosting company. Apache, Debian, Wiki, PHP. Pros: flexible. Cons: not reliable (IP change, cable outage, power outage, hw failure). -- Main.TobyCabot - 24 Mar 2003 <br />
