My employer has finally heard enough of my bragging about linux and wants to see what it can do. I need to set up an intranet. I am having trouble finding good docs on Apache. Any hints???
Have you tried finding information about apache at <A HREF="http://www.apache.org"><A HREF="http://www.apache.org</A">http://www.apache.org</A</A>> ?? There I found some useful information on how to install and how to configure the server. For installation especially <A HREF="http://www.apache.org/docs/install.html"><A HREF="http://www.apache.org/docs/install.html</A">http://www.apache.org/docs/install.html</A</A>> is useful ... Additional information can be found at: <A HREF="http://www.apache.org/docs"><A HREF="http://www.apache.org/docs</A">http://www.apache.org/docs</A</A>> In my case this documents were enough to get it running in one day. But if you don't want compiling a new version try the delivered one. It works well. Please mind that you have to reconfigure some parts of the source code.
Do I make the intranet server the nameserver?
If the server is already the nameserver for your intranet use it. See /etc/resolv.conf ....
Do I need a certain daemon running to be a nameserver, or just tell all the boxes that it is??
You just have to install the bind package.
I installed the apache from the CD's, how do I administer it now??
See <A HREF="http://www.apache.org/docs"><A HREF="http://www.apache.org/docs</A">http://www.apache.org/docs</A</A>> . If you have additional question email me.
Can I set up multiple domains served, or do I need a separate IP for each separate domain??
Sorry, I only using one domain ... but I'm sure you will find additional information in the documentation.
The sooner I can show results, the better. Help!!
Yep .... here it is ...
I found the docs that came with apache, and I just might have to uninstall the rpm and install the source so I can follow the directions verbatim.
You find the download site at: <A HREF="http://www.apache.org/dist"><A HREF="http://www.apache.org/dist</A">http://www.apache.org/dist</A</A>>
If it comes down to it, I will have to buy Netscape Fasttrack Server. I have used that and it's easy!!
Apaches use is easy too ... :-) .. if you know how.
thanks in advance
