Seeking advice on setup web server

[Stephen Liu]

Hi John,

Tks for your advice.

> (a) If it's a server, you shouldn't have a graphic desktop installed.

No I won't run X on server.  I'll turn over the packages installed
later checking whether any X package download and installed escaping my
notice.


> (b) get a static IP address
That is really my problem.  This is only a test.  Several years ago I
read documents about setting server using dynamic IP.  There were
several websites will assist detecting the change of dynamic IP.  I
suppose I still have those information on my database.  However it will
trace back to RH8 age.  Now my immediate need is how to test this
LAMP-server with dynamic IP and how to connect ISP as a server not as a
workstation.

I think I have all of them installed.  Now the server is running but
needs configuration. 

Others noted with tks.
