Unit 12: Server Role: Linux as Web Server

3. Configure your Web Hosing Account: In your control panel you will see an option call notes
“Manage Domains.” Select this option and at the top you will see an “Add New Domain”
link. This is where you type in the domain name you registered at GoDaddy.com. The
other options on this page can just be left as they are for most basic web sites. You will
be asked the name of the folder you want to store you content in on the web server,
you should just name it something that makes sense related to your domain name.
Now that your hosting account is set up, you need to make sure that your domain registrar
knows who is hosting your site. You do this by going back into your registrar account and
specifying a name server. Click on the “Nameserver” icon and enter at least to nameservers
on the page. Dreamhost’s nameservers are ns1.dreamhost.com and ns2.dreamhost.com.
(Note: it may take a day or two for your new domain name to work throughout the Internet.
This is called domain name propagation)
4. Make a Home Page and send it to your Web Host: At this point you need to create your
home page. There are many easy ways to make this page, but the key is to name it index.
htm . This is the default home page name that most web hosts use. So if the domain
name you set up is www.yoursite.com - then your index.htm page will show up at www.
yoursite.com . If you name your file mypage.htm, then it will appear at www.yoursite.
com/mypage.htm. So using the name index.htm will not require your site visitors to type
in anything past the .com part of your domain name.

To build a Web site using PHP, basically an HTTP server, PHP and Database are required.
Some HTTP servers available are Apache and Microsoft IIS. While using PHP, most people
choose apache for HTTP server and MySQL for database because all are free or open source
software. You can install these components (PHP, Apache, MySql ) either individually or a
third-party component, say, EasyPHP, that integrates PHP, Apache and MySQL.
The integrated packages, such as EasyPHP, LAMP, etc, are means to get everything up and
running in one step.
If you would like to install and use as individual packages, please follow these
steps:Download the apache server from the following apache URL: http://httpd.apache.
org/download.cgi Win32 Source: httpd-2.2.6-win32-srcr2. zip
To download PHP setup binaries, please look up the URL: http://www.php.net/
downloads.php.
