now, how do we get the “www.” in front of the domain name so that others can see it? or is it already visible on other networks?

Thanks - pushed me in the right direction.

As with anything on the net, things change and some of the directions are not available anymore.

The initial line:

sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2-common apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils ssl-cert

needs to become

sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2.2-common apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils ssl-cert apache2-utils

as the original apache2-common file has been obsoleted.

Could not find the directoryindex list in any of the .conf files I looked at, so Iwill do some reading and add these to the correct one later.

Neither did apache2-default appear - again I will look at the docs and work out why.

My ubuntu system (JJ 9.04) does not include gedit, so I substituted vi for it and had no problem creating the file (I was introduced to vi in 1983 and can still work my way around it when I have to).

Thanks again
Shane

I needed all of the above to get me going but the permissions was the final clincher.

I don’t know about http://localhost/apache2-default/. Mine works and I get a 404 on that (which proves it works anyway). Either do the /var/www/phptest.php or just go to http://yourserverip/ and you should see “It works”

i tested http://localhost/apache2-default/

This message appears:

The requested URL /apache2-default/ was not found on this server.

I can’t access the Apache screen…

thank you, Sir

I got everything, but I don’t know what we’re looking for here

“Next we edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file and check the index files are correct

DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml”

Thanks

Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for Servername

what does this mean?

depending on which one you want enabled.
