Apache Question
Ok, I'm not sure if i'm posting this in the right section or not, but oh well.
Anyway, here is the deal.
I recently accessed a 2.5 mb up and down connection. I also have a computer that I turned into a server. I installed apache and am able to run a .html and .php website. However, I don't know how to run cgi scripts from it. I don't know how to chmod the files without using an ftp. How also do you set up and ftp. I have g6 ftp software to run a server.
I know this is a little confusing, but please help me out. Thanks.

Is this a Linux or a Windows server?

Ok, that's cool. I set up my webpage and turned on apache. I access my site by typing in my ip address so that I can view it and everything works. However, I want to allow other people to view it without getting an error message saying it can't be found. I think it has to do with dns. Could someone please explain how i can do this? Thanks

What kind of connection are you on? I.e., does your IP address change?

Here is something about setting up Apache on Windows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When I try to start Apache from a DOS window, I get a message like "Cannot determine host name. Use ServerName directive to set it manually." What does this mean?
It means what it says; the Apache software can't determine the hostname of your system. Edit your conf\httpd.conf file, look for the string "ServerName", and make sure there's an uncommented directive such as
ServerName localhost
or
ServerName foo.com
in the file. Correct it if there one there with wrong information, or add one if you don't already have one.
Also, make sure that your Windows system has DNS enabled. See the TCP/IP setup component of the Networking or Internet Options control panel.
After verifying that DNS is enabled and that you have a valid hostname in your ServerName directive, try to start the server again.

thanks in advance
