personal computer server

i need some info on how to make my pc a server
and also the urls to give it a name and such would really appreciate it

also
i will be making a forum
for an alliance for a game called kings of chaos

Install window 2003 or 2000 server or any os system that can act as a server.
i am not sure what do u mean.

windows server is NOT an option since my hdd is only 9 GB
(sadly)
i mean something like apache
i dont understand apache thats why i don't have it

why do all that, when you can just use windows 2000 or Xp and
simply fileshare across a workgroup? simple, and effective, and
efficient.

simple is better.

yeah I don't think you are going to be able to run anykind of server os with 9gb. At least not Microsoft, Linux, nor Novell

Hi there,

I've once used my laptop with a 512k connection to share files and folders...

I currently use: Windows XP Pro, also a bit of linux!

Well if you have you're XP disc, or that you're sure its installed.. You can go to add/remove compoments...something in there like HTTP services you need to install all of those...

And then you'll can access the main part of the server.. by: Control Panel in XP and them Adminitrative Tools, then Some internet thing in there...

Also then you'll get a folder, look for root: and you'll be putting files into there...

Well, then you've got you're server...

If you're on a home network you can access: http://localhost <-- I'm sure you can change that somewhere in those Administrative Settings.

Well, i hope i gave enough info, having being i've done this around about half a year ago, and my age of 13.

Hope it works for who ever...

If you want help on msn: david2093@msn.com

Pretty smart for a 13 year old, or 14...I'm 14 and that didn't come across my head.

anyway i went a seperate way and got xitami web server

all i need to know if how to program a php forum and also how to set it up so when i go to my dyndns.org site it doesn't come up with my router

thats pretty much all i need

Pity. Could have easily used your old machine with say FreeBSD or the Linux du jour; loaded samba -- is the unix SMB service -- and still connected via Windows shares.

Should you have needed to, you could also have run an internal web server.

Cheers.

um
what does that have to do with anything?

just go to http://www.phpbb.com, they have a pretty good free forum package, along with many mods/themes/etc... its what i use on my sites, and is also whats used here on ozzu...

i think he means installing php on his server

i think i pretty much got if from other posts on ozzu
thanks anyway!

actually compaired to you guys im a total amiture
