Greetings to all i heard that apache is the best web server i decide to download and try apache2.2.3 which is the latest version, i read a lot of tutorials on setting up. apache runs fines after i install, i type http://localhost in my browser it say's it works. i put myfirstsite.com in network domain, www.myfirstsite.com in ServerName and my email add. Question is this already working like when i go to a internet cafe and type www.myfirstsite.com it will display the index.html???? im new to Apache i need your help!!!
no, it is not that simple. you also need to run some sort of dns, have the domain registered, etc. and most isps don't let you run sites on port 80.
digust what do you mean "some sort of DNS" i already registered domain, and your correct port 80 i blocked i use port detective and it say's blocked. one more question how to enable port 80 thanks in advance again im new to apache and networking i need help.
you need a domain name system server. this is not the same as having it registered. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dns on linux bind is the most common. don't have experience with windows DNS. you do not "enable port 80." it is blocked and there is no way you can unblock it on most ISPs. you have two options: run the site on another port or pay for a business line (which won't have blocked ports).
