setting up intranet

[geokor]

OK - I am fairly new to Linux but trying to learn fast. I am setting up an intranet between 3 boxes at home. My server is running RedHat Linux 7.1 and Apache. I have all 3 machines hooked up to a hub which seems to recognize all 3 (3 indicator lights are lit up). The other 2 boxes have Win 98 and Win 2K. At this point I simply want to be able to construct a web page, place it on my server and be able to access it using a browser from one of the Windoze machines. Do I need SAMBA for this? I have been reading everything I can including HOWTO's, manual entries, and books like RedHat Linux 6 Unleashed and Running Linux and Using Samba.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
What I need at this point is a checklist of what it is I need to do. Example
1-Install Apache
2-Make sure it is configured to do...
3-Install Samba (or whatever)
4-Make sure it is configured to do...

I am not looking for the exact answers on how to do all this, so far I've been able to figure out most of that. I am simple now at a loss as to what I am missing that won't allow my Win machines to find the server.

When I try typing 192.168.1.1. (my server)into my browser's url window it tells me the connection was refused.

Thanks for any help.

You don't need Samba.

In Apache, create a virtual website and give it an ip address. For example in /etc/http/conf/vhosts/Vhosts.conf:

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.101>
ServerName intranet.mysite.net
DocumentRoot /http/mysit ### or wherever your site is

</VirtualHost>

Then create an alias on your server:

ifconf etho:1 192.168.1.101

Make sure the directory where your site is loaded is readable and executable by everyone (but not witeable).

You will either need to edits the /etc/hosts file on each of your other computers and put an entry like:

192.168.1.101 intranet.mysite.net

or set up a dns server.

Hope this helps!

If you want to write your html/php/whatever on a windoze machine and copy it onto the linux machine you will need samba running. ***************************************
