How to test a LAMP server

Hi folks,

Ubuntu-6.06.1-LAMP-server-amd64


I have the said server installed and configured. The server is now running.

$ ps -ef | egrep '/mysql|postfix|portmap|apache2'

Please advise how to test this server? Where can I find appropriate
documents on testing a LAMP server?

1)
Self test


2)
Testing with a workstation

I don't have router so I'll install an additional network card on the
server and connect it with a Cat5 cable to the workstation (one network
card on workstation). OR is there any other suggestions? TIA


3)
Testing on Internet.

I don't have Domain nor Static IP. I'll register a free Domain later
for this test and use Dynamic IP.


Now my problem is I have only on broadband. Connecting the workstation to Internet via a modem? I have modem available.


Advice will be appreciated. Tks.

Yes, you can do that. The server can act as a router too, forwarding the internet to your workstation. You should be able to do that using most firewalls, like shorewall for example.
