    does anyone know if the apache http web server supports Dynamic ip addresses? During setup on windows you have to enter your Domain name,but there is nowhere to enter your dynamic ip address.


    Also does the Apache HTTP web server have an ftp server built in? Or do i have to download a 3rd party ftp server that works with apache? Anyone recommend one to me?

    Thanks

    Of course it can.
    In the virtual hosting definition, when you must define "NameVirtualHost", simply specify
    
NameVirtualHost *:80
    Code (markup):
    rather than 
    NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.1:80
    Code (markup):
    Now, if you want to access your server from the outside, look at roido link.
    It will allow you to give your server a name that will be updated each time it's ip adress (or the one of your router) changes

    Apache is an http server.
    Ftp have nothin to do with it.

    If you want to run a ftp service, then you need to install a ftp server.
