webserver help?

**cbvenek** · 11-06-2011

Where do I go to get help for webpage setup?

I want to set My server up for Webserver/Firewall(LAN),FTP.
I usually setup as LAMP server.

I have firewall setup now.... Just need direction for WebServer.
With Drop down menu,or not. several info pages, picture slideshow, and calendar.

Maybe a security login from webpage for private info or edit pages.....But not necessary.

Just looking for direction to what to use.
Then step by step help and instructions on setup.

I'm not exactly sure what you want to do, but I'd start with the manual for the webserver you installed. I'm assuming you are using Apache. You can check out the local copy of the manual with:

Code:

firefox http://localhost/manual

If Apache is not running:

Code:

service httpd start

If the manual is not installed:

Code:

yum install httpd-manual
service httpd restart

The online manual for your version of Apache can be found here.

To make sure Apache auto-runs at boot time, you can do:

Code:

chkconfig httpd on

If you need basic HTML coding help, just google "hello world" html or something like that.

Start with a simple HTML page, say "test.html" and put it right in your DocumentRoot (by default, /var/www/html - see the main Apache config file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf for more info). Then, once you start coding, a good practice is to keep a firefox page open to your document (e.g. http://localhost/test.html) that you can constantly refresh, and keep a terminal window open and have this command running (as root):

Code:

tailf /var/log/httpd/error_log

Considering following points,

With Drop down menu,or not. several info pages, picture slideshow, and calendar.

Maybe a security login from webpage for private info or edit pages.....But not necessary

I think you are looking for some CMS.
Search for Drupal on google.

okay,

I setup My FTP (proftpd server)
I am getting:

......>>>
Response: 530 Login incorrect.
Error: Critical error
Error: Could not connect to server

I used a valid username and password that works on other server login with same system.

again your description is not helpful.
could you post your config file?
is your server lying behind firewall?

most probably it is firewall issue. ftp uses 2 ports 20 and 21. 21 for instructions and 20 for data transfer.
