setting up apache
    #5439491 - 03/24/06 08:41 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

I currently have a website that I only really use for small file hosting (images mostly) and email. My hosting contract is up in 2 weeks and I have read it is possible to host via my computer using apache and mysql/php. I run linux.

I have been recommended to follow this guide: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ApacheMySQLPHP

but can anyone offer me any tips? I'm really not sure how I can transfer my domain to this setup.

thanks

get your nameserver set up and forward your dns to your ip. do you have a static ip?

there are plenty of DNS services for dynamic IP's. Check out ZoneEdit.com....you can set it up to update ip by web page so you just have a crontab entry for:

lynx zoneedit.com/whatever.php?update or something and it gets your ip and changes it. do that every xx minutes and you will have little to no downtime

ehh, that's kind-of a way around it, but unless you have a static ip, i'd be wary (unless there won't be any sites that need good uptime, just file hosting or whatever)

And every single name server on the planet caches DNS entries... some for up to a week or longer...

> do that every xx minutes and you will have little to no downtime

Incorrect. Some people will see very little downtime and others will see very little uptime. It all depends upon their name server configuration, something which is not under our control.

> unless you have a static ip, i'd be wary (unless there won't be any sites that need good uptime

Exactly!
