    Learn how to create your own web server

    Hey!

    I was thinking I'm going to write a tutorial for those who don't know or don't understand how to create a web server. I included some files also (Freeware).. Okay let's start.

    1. Installing your server.

    Abyss Web Server X1:
    Code:
    http://rapidshare.com/files/69761062/Abyss_Web_Server_X1.exe
    After downloading the server software, we must install it. Open your install file, read the License Agreement, after reading make a decision, do you agree with it or not. If you agree then press: I agree.



    When it's done, you can select things what you want to install.



    After choosing press Next. Then you must select path to your installation.



    When it's done.. Press install and you're done.

    2. Installing PHP 5

    PHP 5.2.2
    Code:
    http://rapidshare.com/files/69762401/PHP_5.2.2.exe
    This is auto-installer (I saved you from doing it manually). After opening this install file, press Next. Then you must read it's License Agreement, when you agree click on check box and press Next.



    Then you have to select path to your PHP. When it's done, click Install.



    3. Installing MySQL Database

    MySQL 5.0
    Code:
    http://rapidshare.com/files/69770232/MySQL_5.0.45.zip
    After opening your install file press Next to continue. Then you can select what kind of installation you need or want.



    When you have selected your installation type press Next. When it's done, press Install to install MySQL 5.0 After installing you must configure your server, a new window will pop out.



    Press Next to more forward. Then you can select what kind of configuration you want.



    After selecting just keep pressing Next, but if you want to change anything, then change it if you know what you are doing. Then you will see this:



    There you must enter password for your database (Remember, your username is root). After entering your password press Next, then just press Execute to start the configuration. And voila.. it's done.

    4. Installing phpMyAdmin

    phpMyAdmin 2.11.2.1
    Code:
    http://rapidshare.com/files/69763973/phpMyAdmin_2.11.2.1.bz2
    Extract it. After extraction copy and paste this folder to:
    ...\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs
    There rename it to phpadmin. Now go to libraries folder and find config.default.php file. Then copy and paste it to \phpadmin\ directory and rename it to config.inc.php.



    Now open this file in some kind of text editor. Find the line highlighted below and change it to your url, where's your phpMyAdmin installed.



    http://localhost/phpadmin/ for example make sure you will add / after your url. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT. Now find the line highlighted below and enter your MySQL username there.



    Next you must find this line:



    and enter your MySQL password between ' and '. And you're done. Enter http://localhost/phpadmin to your browser and you will see your installed phpMyAdmin.



    And it's done I hope it helped you and soon i will see your cool sites.

    Take care,
    Jaan

    It seems like quite a lot of hassle to me? I just pay for hosting. It's a whole lot easier. Doesn't your computer have to be on all the time to host the data?

    yes it have to be
    but i mean like.. i have a server installed to my PC because i don't have time to upload files to another server.. it takes time.. it's better to text my own scripts in my own PC/server..

    BTW you have to have open ports also.. otherwise only you can use your server..

    I suppose it depends on your needs. Computers use lots of energy when they're on - it might not be so cost-effective after all...

    Once I made my server and forwarded a domain to it.. it was kinda cool.. but I only did it for testing.

    That's really awesome, I've always wondered how to make a web server, but I wouldn't do it because it's a lot easier with hosting. But that is a good tutorial, very detailed.
