Hi,
For your question two on redhat

1)at root prompt>setup
2)select firewall
3)then simply select which ports you want open using the customise button. Use spacebar on keyboard to select and tab to move through eth0,http,smtp,dns etc.

Good luck

I'd like preface this by saying that I've never done it myself. This tutorial, however, looks very promising:

Hi all,

If you check out these three FAQ's then all the questions are answered.

faq65-1836
faq65-1831
faq65-830

The Mass Virtual Hosting is very useful if you are going to have a lot of domains.

Hope this helps Wullie

To get a domain name to point at your computer, you need to edit the dns "A" record for that domain and enter the ip address of your computer. You can have as many domains and sub-domains point to the same ip as you want. The host more than one domain on your server, you will need to use "name based virtual hosting". This means You will NOT use the main server configuration. You will create a vhost container for each vhost using the main server as an example. Here is a very short section of what the vhost section will look like in httpd.conf:

UseCanonicalName Off

NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin webmaster@domain1.com
DocumentRoot /var/

http://www/domain1/html

ServerName domain1.com
ErrorLog /var/

http://www/domain1/logs/error_log

CustomLog /var/

http://www/domain1/logs/access_log

common

<Directory &quot;/var/

http://www/html&quot;>

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

</Directory>

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ &quot;/var/

http://www/domain1/cgi-bin/&quot;

<Directory &quot;/var/

http://www/domain1/cgi-bin&quot;>

AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

This is just one vhost container. All of them will start with <VirtualHost*> and end with </VirtualHost>. You can copy and paste as many as you need then change all the information inside to match your setup. I would put this at the bottom of your httpd.conf so it is easier to edit in the future. This should give you a good start on setting up your server. Good luck
