If you ensue to be running Apache on an alternate port, you need to explicitly put that in the notes
URL:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/
One time your basic installation is working, you should configure it properly by editing the
files in the conf subdirectory. Because Apache cannot share the similar port with another TCP/
IP application, you may need to stop, uninstall or reconfigure certain other services before
running Apache. These conflicting services include other WWW servers and some firewall
implementations. If you change the configuration of the Windows NT service for Apache, first
attempt to start it from the command line to make sure that the service starts with no errors.

12.5 setting up first web page

Here are the basics of setting up a web site. The whole process from getting a domain name to
your first page actually showing up on the World Wide Web.

1. Get a Domain Name: Decide on a domain name and check to see if it is obtainable with an
Internet registrar. Registrars are all very alike, but for the purposes of this tutorial I’ll use www.
GoDaddy.com. Currently a .com domain name costs about $10 per year. (other domain name
possibilities are .net, .org, .info, .biz, etc.) Once at www.GoDaddy.com you’ll have to generate
an account. From this account you will be able to purchase and manage your domain name.
Once your domain name is registered, you will need to identify a name server that
corresponds with your hosting service. You will see a “Nameserver” icon that will take
you to a page to specify your name server. (this will be explained further in Step Three).
Accepting the necessary components that make up a great domain name will help you
coming up with and buying a name that will give you the majority mileage to help you
meet your specific online objectives. The basic individuality of a good name are pertinent,
catchy, easily remembered and able to self-promote. Choosing the right name for your
online objectives take time and much thought. Endurance and perseverance are the names
of the game here. Because many great and popular names may have already been taken up,
it could be a challenge finding an ideal name that is available.
Set aside some time to allow manually to brainstorm probable names for your web site.
This is important, as appropriate names rarely come ‘just like that’. Determine what you
propose to use your domain for - whether it’s for business or personal purposes - then
come up with a list of relevant names that are short, sweet and catchy. The name you
lastly end up with should be easily remembered by as many people as possible and have
the ability to draw targeted visitors to your site. Building a healthy flow of targeted traffic
is a key objective of any domain name. This flow of traffic is especially important if you
are using your name for an online business as this pool of targeted visitors could end up
becoming your online customers and contribute significantly to the sales of your products
offered on your web site.

Once you’ve suggest a list of probable names, you then have to look for a suitable domain
registration company. These companies are more commonly known as registrars and can
help you get a domain name simply (if you choose the right registrar, that is). Registrars
like Active-Domain.com are not only reliable but boast capable and friendly customer
service as well as a good track record with their customers (past and present).

While there are frequent registrars’ contribution tremendously low rates for helping you
get domain name, it is vital that you do not act on impulse and sign yourself up with the
cheapest registrar obtainable. You want to look for a registrar that is not only reliable and
