I currently run Abyss web server off my computer, which is connected to my second hard drive. This means I can put all my websites etc.. on one hdd and leave the other for my computer, but I want to be able to do this with a proper Web Server and link it to my domain etc... I basically want to run my website from my bedroom! :lol:
I have run into a slight problem though. I don't know the first thing about webservers. :hehe: I have tried looking around the internet for stuff, but can't find anything.
I want to get information on:
- what hardware to get & how to set it up. eg: A server with XXXX ram and XXXX CPU etc...
- what software to get and how to set that up - I want PHP and MySql. PHP should be easy, but I have tried setting mySQL up before and it was hell.
- The best way to access it: ie: either FTP from my computer or a direct Network connection, or just use it with a monitor like a normal computer.
etc...
I am really looking for begginer sites, so I can get a feel for this subject, and start to learn about it.
Thanks a lot
Tom
PS: I would like to also find out about having a seperate mail server(s).
Disclamer: This thread is merely so that I can find out about web servers and stuff. I do want to aim for what is above someday, but for now it is just information I want.
