WEBSITE HOSTING

What kind of website?

Does your ISP permit you to use your internet connection in this way?

Hi
Thanks for posting replying to my post
Yes my ISP does allow for this.
Basically it is for a school project using Http for the start then will got into it all more latter

Well again it depends what you need. There are apps for things such as Wordpress etc. if you need those.

well SQL PHP for starters

There are apps for PHP, MySQL and more.

are there any "how to's" or guids, i don't have a not of technological experience in this area.
Thanks

You can go to Apps > Available Apps and install the apps you want.

You'll also need to configure http to redirect by default to a share. To do this you configure a share for read-only http access and configure the http service to redirect to the share.

Well there's a lot of information available via Google etc. for how to use PHP, MySQL etc.

Found for OS4, I haven't spotted one for OS6 in my 30sec google search.
So here are the main steps :
- create a share and share it via HTTP and another protocol (the second is one of your choosing to transfer the files later)
- go to apps / available apps
- install mysql
- install phpmyadmin (a tool to manage mysql, that happens to also install php)
- connect to phpmyadmin. default mysql password is root without any password.
- go to SQL : type this SET PASSWORD FOR root@localhost = PASSWORD('yourpassword'); (of course replace yourpassword by the password you want)
- then copy your files to the share
- go to http://IP/SHARE-NAME

Enjoy.

if you want to be redirected by default to your share, you to system / settings / http / redirect default web access.

Note if you change the default MySQL password then e.g. Photos II won't work.

I didn't know that. So you may skip the password change.
sending SET PASSWORD FOR root@localhost = PASSWORD('') should reset it to blank if needed.
