Server?

Post by JAK08 »

I was just wondering, as I will be completeing my hardware mod this weekend, if gentoox home has all the needed programs to succefully run a web server out of the box, so-to-say?

Not exactly out of the box. You'll need to install and configure stuff, but with emerge it's not hard. Plus there's a quite in-depth tut on how to install apache with php support on the forums here if you search for it.

Install any gentoox
run magic
emerge apache

nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf (i think) to edit your servername variable (god its late/early? lol)

/etc/init.d/apache2 start
rc-update add apache2 default
