Usually this expects the web files to be somewhere under /var/www - this is setup dependent. There are going to be a lot of issues making this available to the outside world through your ISP - in my opinion, you'd be a lot better off using a commercial web host - like www.netfirms.com. I do mine (rcarter.net) through netfirms for a total cost of about $65/year. I develop at home, even check from other machines on the local net and then upload.

To get started, yo should use Yast / Network Services / HTTP Server You may also want to read up the documentation for Apache2 which should be installed on yor system at /usr/share/doc/howto/en/html/Apache-Overview-HOWTO.html If it is not installed, then there is also the doc on the web at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/ > Can I change my website address to > something creative besides an IP address, such as user(a)user.org or > some such? This probably involves registering a domain and possibly (depending on yor ISP) using dyndns.org I recommend you to take one step at a time. -- Robert Keep the Yule Logs burning !

I have my local mirror of http://blinkynet.net running that way. -- Blinky Killing all posts from Google Groups Details: http://blinkynet.net/comp/uip5.html
