I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a server enviornment...should i download apache, mysql, and php seperately? or is there a good all-in-one program out there? i've heard of WAMP5, but someone said there are others.....I know google is my friend, but from guys/girls that run a server all the time....im looking for advice....

xampp

how do you make your php available to others? I mean http is transfered through port 80, but you can't exactly forward port 80 lol......Is there like a dns service that only deals with webpages?

If you are using xampp (like i am) then if port 80 is forwarded (yes, you can forward it.) then peple should be able to connect to your webbserver by

http://YOUR-IP/

In xampp, php and mysql co-operate, so you dont need to do much more then install xampp, and in your "htdocs" folder, you will paste the pages you want to use, maybe remove those who already is there, you could use navicat to controll the mysql database instead of the pages who already is at htdocs.

after then, you could get a dns, or a no-ip for it, so people easly can remember the adress,

I sugest you look around here,
check around at subdomains, you should easly learn how to manage it.

Is it possible to host a server + a webpage if you don't have access to the router? i know at college i have PLENTY o bandwidth and they don't cap it, they also don't block any ports, but i dunno if that would work..... Thanks for the advice :)

Yea if they din't disable it. U may just open it. Well, Port " 80 " just a minor thing bro. U can install it, and have a look
canyouseeme.com — Great Products for Tech Professionals <- they will try to examine ur port see its firewall or not.

But change the port from 80 to like 345 or something, otherwise they will reliase that someone is running a webserver, plus it is likely someone is using port80 already.

Ok so i'm sure i could use a no-ip to get a port 80 redirect to lets say port '345' but how do i make sure that the data gets forwarded to MY lan address on a huge ass connection like my college connection, where i have no access to a router to forward the port.....

Another question:

So wait doesn't all http traffic go through port 80? So (this is my home connection) if i forwarded that port wouldn't i have problems accessing webpages?

Sorry if i confused you guys i know how to do it on my home connection where i have access to my router but not at college...

well, i thought when u cant really change the web port right ? btw, if someone " on " their own webpage and u also.. there will be a conflict tho.. unless u got ur router login :P

if all ur college user never on any webserver, then will be great. Why not u have a try to take ur college ip and paste it at browser ? maybe ur college uses the ip to make their own scholl homepage ?
