Web Server

[fsmooth]

I am looking to start my own domain server to host several personal domains (1 for each friend)/web hosting. I received a document a while back (e-book) on how to do this. I'm still not very clear on it. I have RedHat Linux v7.3 installed, and can not find where to start the ftp server in order to ftp some config files up.

Please help. ----------------------------------------

Depends on which ftp server you have installed but it should be started via the inetd/xinetd super internet daemon which spawns the appropirate server for the incoming request (as an aside, the apache web server is different as it is generally set up to listen on the

http://www port

on its own for performance reasons).

Not sure if RH7.3 used inetd or the superceeding xinetd but check their config files to see if ftp in enabled (for inetd it's /etc/inetd.conf, I think that for xinetd, individual configus are stored in the /etc/xinetd directory).
