Default Making a apache server
I'm making a local test server to make skins for forums on. I'd just like to post this so you can discuss the making of a local test server.

I am using this guide: http://robouk.mchost.com/tuts/tutori...torial=server1 Things are going well, At the time of posting I just got PHP to work!
Or should I say Sometime in 2007?

vB 3.6?!?!?! BOOYAH!

What's there to talk about? It's funny to learn, you are never out of resources (disc space), you can upgrade whenever you want and you even redirect a domain name to it. One major downside is still security. You need a good firewall, else you'll be flooded and your connection blocked etc. This has happened to me several times and luckily the manufacturer of my router brought out a new firmware with upgrades to the hardware firewall. That has saved me many times.

Fun OS X Feature: To get apache up and running, all you need to do is tick a box. no arsing about with configs

glaanie's right though, setup a good firewall, don't want outside connections to it (or do you? o_0)

No, this is just on my computer, Type this in on another computer: http://localhost/ and you'll proably get nothing! But on my comp you'll see a Apache server test page.

wow, its the loopback interface.

127.0.0.1 was origionally created to test the loopback interface, after that people decided that binding local services was a good idea, and that is how the name localhost, or localhost.localdomain came about.
