Hi, I have setup an IIS webserver and installed PHP using these instructions (http://www.peterguy.com/php/install_IIS6.html#phpInstall) I followed the instructions exactly but the webserver wont load .php files giving the error message: HTTP Error 401.3 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to an ACL set on the requested resource. Internet Information Services (IIS) (see http://www.lordswoodgirls.co.uk/test.php) I typed php -v in the command prompt and got the message: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.LORDSWOODGIRLS>php -v PHP 5.2.6 (cli) (built: May 2 2008 18:02:07) Copyright © 1997-2008 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright © 1998-2008 Zend Technologies Which, I assume, shows that PHP is successfully installed on the computer but for some reason the IIS webserver doesn't know what to do with php files. Could someone please help with this problem. I'm at a complete loss. Thanks

They'll either be re-directing requests to the schools IP or possibly even the schools domain to the web server

I'm not too sure how it works for the school but I think our conenction to the outside world (and the outside world to us) goes through the coucil. So I had to contact the 'grid for learning' who are a council department that deal with our internet etc. and they are the people that will set up the redirect.....I think

Thanks for the reply. So, if I can access the webserver on the local network AND our ISP sets up the IP redirect successfully then there shouldn't be any need to change the config files or LAMP setup right??

Hi, I'm currently working as a web designer at a school and have been asked to look into the possibility of hosting our own website from with the school. I have setup a LAMP server running Ubuntu Server Edition and uploaded my website to the /var/www folder. This website is then viewable on the Local Network by typing the servers IP addess (10.122.164.6) into a networked computers brower window. So far, so good. The next stage is allowing access from the outside world, first via the schools IP and the by a domain name. I have contacted our ISP and just need to provide them with the schools IP, the servers IP and port number for them to forward requests from the internet to the server for them to set it up. What I need to know is - 1. If I buy a domain name, how do I point this domain name to the school IP address (and therefore the webserver since requests to this IP address will be forwarded to that of the server) 2. At the moment the Apache config file is unchanged from when it was installed. Will I need to make any changes to the config files (in particular <virtual host> configs) for when the server is available on the internet. Cheers, Nick
