LAMP setup

Hi

Sorry if this is OT but I thought some of you would have experienced this
and be able to help.

I am new to all this and am trying to set up a Linux machine (Fedora 3) as a
LAMP server on a LAN with a Windows XP Prof machine. The boxes are connected
via a cheap switch.

I have added the site address to the Hosts file on both machines, flushed
all chains from iptables on the Linux machine and there appears to be no
firewall on XP.

From the XP machine I can telnet mysite.com 80 and get my html test page -
however when I use Internet Explorer it cannot find my page and responds
"The web page you requested is not available offline". The same thing
happens when I use another box with windows 2000. Pressing the connect
button just sends it off looking for - what I assume - is a DNS site

From the Linux machine I have used Tcpdump to monitor the traffic (at least
this is making me learn about Fedora) on the XP machine. I get plenty of
traffic when I use telnet but nothing when I use Internet explorer - I would
have expected something not that I understand what the messages mean

I've been looking at this for days now so any suggestions (other than doing
away with windows) would be appreciated.

Sorry - please ignore previous request

I found my problem - I had "www" in front of my URL in IE

Why does that affect it.

www.mysite.com and mysite.com are not the exact same domain name and can
point to different IP addresses.

If you want it to work with the www prefix then you need to add that
into your hosts file as well.

Our production environment is WAMP (Windows Apache2 MSSQL PHP) but out of curiosity I would like to see if we can operate our site with free software only. I have precise little time for this though, so I'm looking for something that installs everything with just a few clicks. I tried Debian, but even through I added PHP4 in dselect, it wasn't working in Apache. The...

Hello there, Are there any out-of-the box handhelds that run Linux/Apache/MYSQL and PHP? Does Redhat, Suse, or Gentoo support any handhelds? I know the Zaurus comes close, but I've heard people have problems running LAMP applications on it. It would be cool to be able to run any LAMP application on sourceforge on a handheld computer.

I was looking at jobs on craigslist and saw several postings saying something like "2+ years experience developing for a LAMP (Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP) platform...". Now, I've been working with PHP and MySQL a few months now, but here's my question: where does the Linux part and Apache part come in? What should I know? In other words, I don't think I've ever had to deal with anything specific to Linux or Apache, so in what circumstances...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
