Hosting a website on Fedora 12/Amahi

[markdagger]

Dear All,

Getting along fine with Amahi; but now want to begin to host my own website on my home server (rather than pay for someone to host it for me) and wondered how I go about this?

Can I design it using something like Front Page and upload it to my server?! Or, am I bound to purchase myself a PHP manual!!

Any help or pointers greatly received.

Hello,

See http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Hosting_a_website in the wiki. It offers some info on how to do it.

I have never tried it, but I believe you can make your own web pages and put them in a location that can be accessed outside your network.

Hope this helps.

I think apache is configured by default to allow user sites. If so (a simple test can confirm this) you can create a directory called "public_html" in your /home dir and apache will serve up whatever is in there (.php or .html doesn't really matter).
example: /home/johndoe/public_html
