LINUX RESOURCE #7
NOW THAT THE SYSTEM IS RUNNING WHAT DO I DO???
You installed your system, and hopefully it started without any problems, so the next best thing is to check some of its functions.
Assuming that you have a separate system but if you don't you can use the linux gui to open a browser and enter the domain name
that you chose,
e.g. "linux.cxm"
If that doesn't do it, enter the static ip address that you set for your system, e.g. 192.168.1.10
Hopefully you should see the apache page for your system.
Once you have seen that page, you can start to create and experiment with your own html webpages, php programs, etc. and place
them into the /home/user/public_html area for testing internally.
Again assuming that you see the apache page, if you are using a separate system you are set to try using your ftp program to log in
with the user name that you created using an ftp program, during the installation, not ROOT because of the security setup by the
linux system.
If you can do this then you are ready to on other ideas and the possibility of unleashing your creations on the web.
To do this, will require some additional steps, such as attaining a domain name, a stable internet connection such as adsl,
either a static ip from your isp or using a router with a dynamic dns configuration that can use one of many free dns domain name
providers, but then that can be interesting too.
