Need dummies guide to setting up Web server...

Hiya All,

Hope you can help!

I need a Dummies guide to setting up a Web server. I hope you have some good URLs or advice etc.

I now finally have:
1. "Web Server" - Fedora Core3 onto my Spare PC.
2. Windows XP laptop
3. Basic Web site set up via Front Page - to upload onto Web server
4. Ethernet connection between the 2 PCs (via small router.)

My approach this week end will be:
1. Upload web site. (No fire wall or any other adjustments for the moment... I just want it to work, with as little complications as possible.)

2. Test my web site Perl scripts etc - and just continue to build the Site

3. Start Setting up the Security on the server

4. Once web server all secure..... THEN introuduce the server onto my office's network. (maybe in few weeks or so.)

All the best
Martin

NAME

       update-rcconf-guide - Create default guide file for rcconf

SYNOPSIS

       update-rcconf-guide

DESCRIPTION

       Update-rcconf-guide creates the default guide file which rcconf uses.

       Update-rcconf-guide searches the package names corresponding to each service file in /etc/init.d directory from dpkg info
       files(/var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list) and get the description of these packages using apt-cache. Update-rcconf-guide uses Short-Description in
       priority to the description if service files has Short-Description field.  Update-rcconf-guide writes those results to
       /var/lib/rcconf/guide.default file.

       You can write your own guide in user guide file(/var/lib/rcconf/guide) by hand.	Rcconf refers Guides in /var/lib/rcconf/guide before those
       in /var/lib/rcconf/guide.default.

       If you install some packages after executed update-rcconf-guide, you need to re-create this file using update-rcconf-guide so as to refresh
       guide.default that includes new guides for installed new services.

       Notice: update-rcconf-guide was not executed when you installed rcconf
	       package.

FILE

       /var/lib/rcconf/guide.default
	       Guide File update-rcconf-guide generates.

       /var/lib/rcconf/guide
	       Guide File user(Administrator) can define.
