Yes. Then I would also suggest doing these things and I can help you with them:

1) Install "apt" and "synaptic" to update your system with all the latest security updates and make software installation a lot easier (you can install ddclient with this tool). Update system to latest.
2) Install and configure ddclient
3) Turn off all unecessary services
4) Check to make sure you have your web server, PHP and MySQL database installed and running
5) Configure your router/firewall to forward your web port(s) to your Linux box (port 80 (and 443 if you want to run a secure site)).
6) Put some content up on your web site.

I would take them in that order.

You want to go into "My Services" and under "Host Level Service" "add host level service". You'll want to add a "Dynamic DNS" entry. Just put in a hostname, select a domain from the pulldown and put in your public IP address and save it. Once you get ddclient installed it will constantly check your public IP address and update your DynDNS record(s) automatically if your IP address changes.

Just leave the other boxes alone, only worry about your name and IP for now.

Ok, first on my list of things is to install "apt" and "synaptic" and update your system. This will involve the command line (where I do *all* my work). First of all, who are you logged in as, root? Normally it isn't a good idea to log directly in as root but we'll overlook that for now. Assuming you are already logged in as root open up a shell. You can do this by right clicking on a blank spot on your desktop and click "Open Terminal" on your menu and it should have a root prompt in it (a "#" sign). Copy/paste these commands:

Code: Select all

# rpm -Uvh http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/dries.ulyssis.org/fedora/fc4/i386/RPMS.dries/apt-0.5.15cnc7-1.2.fc4.rf.i386.rpm
# apt-get update
# apt-get dist-upgrade

NOTE: There are only 3 commands above, that first line split because it's so long. Put it all on one line. Don't copy the "#", that's the prompt. The rest of the line is the command. You can copy and paste by selecting the line with your mouse (hold the left button and drag) and you can paste by clicking both left and right buttons simultaneously in the shell window. If you have a middle mouse button you can also just click that button instead of both left and right buttons.
