Home Web Server Set Up, Relative Paths Not Working
I've had a web server set up for a while at home to do some testing. I can view the site locally using my IP but all relative paths of CSS or images on the html page (eg /something/title.gif) don't show up. Bizarrely, if I go to[url], they appear!
Anyone know what the issue may be? The "DocumentRoot" value in Apache conf is pointing to the correct folder.

Home Web Server
I'm just wondering what the practicalities and problems might be in setting up a web server from home. At the moment we have a 2Mb cable connection but our provider offers a 20Mb connection. Would it be possible to set up a small hosting business from home with such a connection?

Which OS For Home Web Server
I am currently leasing a VPS and the kbps upload rate is below my upload rate at home, so I am going to save 50 bucks/ month and move it to home. I plan on using an older dell desktop with 512mb ram. I would like to use this also as sorta a sync host between my laptop and desktop. I would like to be able to sync certain folders and files which would be stored on the server. I also obviously need to have ftp access, smtp (no knowledge of this area), mysql, php, etc. My big question is which OS should I use? I have fiddled around had a local copy of my site working on my main desktop in windows using apache. Should I stick with windows or would I be better served using a linux distro such as ubuntu? I currently have a static IP address at home. How do I handle the nameservers? Another thing is how easily can I manage things like emails and subdomains?

Web Server At Home--Basic Concepts
I tried installing Apache and, later on, Wampserver. I also tried looking up this topic in Build Your Own Database Driven Web Site, Using PHP and MySQL. My goal is to see, on my home computer, how my new Web pages would look as I work on them, and that includes things like includes, which can't be seen on a regular home computer (mine is Vista). Later on, I also expect to play around a lot with PHP. OK, how am I supposed to do this? Is there a folder on my home computer where these files should be? Do I need to install them on another computer on my home LAN? I just don't get these first basic steps; I don't know what to look for.

Set Up Cpanel Users To Use Different Partitions (home Dirs)
Is it possible to specify where your CPanel user's data is stored? Let's say I have four hard drives without RAID, I have hard drive one on /home, hard drive two on /home2, hard drive three on /home3, and so on. Is it possible to setup users on the different partitions to spread out disk usage? To explain further, I would like to set it so maybe one reseller account was using /home2, then another was using /home4, and another using /home. Any ideas on how to go about splitting up user's data across seperate partitions?

Web Hosting From Home
I already have a web server hosting around 70 web sites with FastHosts who charge me around £350 per month. I am a one man band and looking to cut monthly costs. On my web server with FastHosts, I have around 6 IP addresses all used for specific purposes such as SSL and public web sites and all works just fine. I have just purchased a fast 8mb BT Network Business broadband connection at home along with 13 static IP addresses and built an office on my land that is secure. I want to host my own servers here on the premises that gives my clients the same services they currently get but without me having to pay £350 per month. BT now tell me that the router they provided cannot route more than 1 IP address to the same machine. The router can only route 1 IP address to 1 PC. This means to achive what I already have would mean purchasing several servers and hosting clients web sites on an individual server. I have a Windows 2003 server that I know can host all the sites I need including secure and public from one machine. I also know that each secure web site requires it's own IP address and I have those from BT. Have you any ideas if there are any routers out there that work on broadband connections that can forward more than 1 IP address to the same computer and still work just fine with the BT set-up that I have?

Web Hosting @ Home
I wanted to host a website from home and - registered domain with godaddy.com - created account with everydns.net and updated the nameserver information at godaddy - My webserver is Apache Http server and I have a router between my system and ISP's modem, so i did the port forwarding and also opened the port to public. I have also used a port other than 80 because I thought my ISP might block port 80. My problem is i can access my webpages from my home machine(server) but not from my office machine. one interesting note is my ISP is COX and i have asked my friend who also has COX to check the site and He was able to access my website. I checked checkdnsDOTnet and nothing seem to be a problem and i have also checked the port at canyouseemeDOTorg and the port seems to be open. I used DOT to indicate '.' , because I am not allowed to link URLs

How To Set Time Zone On Web Hosting
I am having an issue where it appears an incorrect time zone may be on my account. I am in Mountain Daylight Time and it appears that it's putting me as being in Eastern Daylight Time. I was told that you can put a line such as:SetEnv TZ America/Denver in your htaccess.txt file. I wasn't sure where to put it so I put it at the end of the hdaccess.txt file. The issue is it appears it still did not fix it. Is there another way to set the time zone or did I do something incorrectly?

Domain Not Working Via Web
The domain is not showing up via web, but works via ftp oddly. I deleted / re-added the dns zone and it still shows up "no record found" in dnsreport.com I found the dns line in var cpanel user file commented out, uncommented it and made it dns= (instead of dns=1). I ran updateuserdomains, restarted cpanel and dns zone still does not show up in dnsreport, nor the web working The httpd.conf virtual portion matches fine with the dns zone as well. Now after uncommenting the dns line in the user file, it shows up in whm but still does not work via web. I confirmed these are correct / listed: userdomains (no, I added it, ran updateuserdomains, it disappeared from that file) /var/cpanel/users/userfile (correct dns=, etc) httpd.conf (correct) sync'd zone to all clustered servers (ok) ran updateuserdomains numerous times restarted cpanel listed in /var/named/domain.com.db localdomains (ok)

Mod_rewrite - Changing Paths In The Php File?
I am using mod_rewrite to create "pretty" urls but some of my files contain paths such as this: <img src="images/blah.jpg"> Meaning if the user visits a page where the file does not physically exist then it won't work. I want to know if it is possible to pick this up and rewrite the path. I.e.: change: <img src="images/blah.jpg"> to: <img src="../images/blah.jpg"> or <img src="../../images/blah.jpg"> As I don't want to create physical files with relative urls for every trunk of my url. For example: www.mydomain.com/directory/directory/directory/ Would need 3 different files in three different directories to display properly.

Home Server ...
I understand the risks of not using a datacenter, but for a smallish site to which uptime isn't key, is it possible to get server-quality bandwidth to my house? (No I don't mean like Gigabit, I mean like upwards of 5mbps)? I'd really like to maintain my own server (probably build one). I live in Milwaukee, so colocation is, AFAIK, out. And while I can save up for and buy a computer every few years, I cannot sustain $80/month. (I am a middle school student. My income isn't exactly regular.) So the question... can I get an ISP to let me run a server at decent speeds out of my house? Would its costs exceed colocation or that of a dedicated server?

Setting Up My Own Server At Home
So I have designed some software for my brother who owns a business and needed a website to manage his clients and send emails to them and stuff. Right now we are using Hostmonster, which has been pretty good so far. He was talking to me how it would be nice to be able to email the website and have the site automatically store the information in these emails into a database for information regarding his clients, which I know is possible, but not on a shared host it seems. I have tested my own email receiving script on a test server on my computer and it works fine. So we are continually finding our limits with a shared host. We have been looking into dedicated hosting, but as you all know its quite a price jump to go from $7 a month to $200+. I got thinking and remembered that my dad has always had a business web plan from our ISP at home (cause he likes fast internet), which according to there website serves 1Mbps upload speed. We also have 2-3 old computers sitting at home that we don't use anymore (2)2ghz pentium 4 Dells and a 3.0ghz+ Pentium 4 HP. I was thinking we could probably just plug one of those into the router, forward some ports and have our own server up and running. For now we would only host this software I made for my bro, which is used by only 4 people, and that's not even at the same time usually. So there is very little load to deal with. But in the future we may put a few other sites that we have in mind which would use PHP and MySQL quite a bit. I was just curious what some of your opinions were on creating a home server. I was looking at Ubuntu Server edition as a possibility, or XAMPP since all my machines are Windows XP. One machine doesn't work cause the hard drive is out, so if I use that I would probably have to put Ubuntu on it. Any suggestions on good server software would be great! I believe the business web plan my dad has also comes with a static IP as well, so that will help. Look forward to hearing your suggestions!

Running Server From Home
In the future I'm thinking of running a web server from my residential house. I currently have rogers cable , but they do not allow you to run a server from their residential internet connection. Does anyone run a server from their house? What kind of internet connection do you have? I'm guessing most people don't do this because they find out it cost way to much to get a special connection ran to their house. Colocation might be the only way to go.

WHM To Point Site To Home Server
whats up fellers, i'm attempting to point my design site name from whm, to my home i.p address by changing the i.p in whm dns zone editor. I'm doing this because its just so much easier to copy an ad, or web site or whatever i do to the server via my home network so the client can see the project pretty much in realtime (some ads are like 800mb) . ALSO i'm trying to set up exchange so my motorola q will have realtime email. Anyway, so "mysite.com -A record -i.p.addy" Now the site comes up.. and i get emails.. but i cant 'send' any emails and windows server is telling me i have a non existing domain name. so the question is am going way over my head and should i just use a service like no-ip or dyndns or can this be done?

Any Security Risks With Setting Up Server On Home Network
Any security risks with setting up server on home network? I would like to set up a computer running linux or xp as a computer on our home network. We have about 3 other computers on the same network. My network manager says that it would be a security risk to the other computers on the network if I were to have the server running on the network. The server would be connected to a netgear wireless router and I would have ports 80 and 21 opened just for the internal ip address of the server. (for example, the server is on 192.168.0.3, and I had just the two ports open for it, while there were computers on 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.4). The netgear router has a firewall built into it. Each of the other computers on the network have software firewalls. I would not have a firewall on the server, and I really don't care if someone hacks it. So, what at worst could happen? Would the other computers be at risk? If you are a professional, I want your opinion also.
