1. First-time webserver tweakers
If you've never set up a webserver before, you may want to be guided through the process. That's what we do in this howto.
2. Occasional webserver tweakers
Maybe you've set up a webserver long time ago and you need to do it again. Instead of wrecking your brain trying to remember how you did it, simply follow these instructions.
3. Curious minds
Or you might just be interested in running a webserver from your home for the sake of the experiment. Welcome!
This is a slow track tutorial for setting up a Linux webserver running Debian 5 (Lenny) in combination with the ISPConfig3 hosting control panel. If you want a different setup you might want to consult HowToForge. On their website you'll also find a forum about Linux issues.
Bear in mind that we are not associated with HowToForge in any way. It means that you cannot ask questions in their forum about this tutorial.
We have a contact form so you may send us a message. We apologize beforehand for rarely being able to reply due to tiny staff limitations.
