I set the webserver up runnign Apache2, but its running off an internal ip, and I'm not sure howto make it run off my ip so people can connect to it. I don't know if this sounds right, I don't know much about linux, or servers. Any help is apreciated, thank you.

If you have a router just set a Port Forward rule to the Xbox IP on port 80. then all connections on port 80 to your main IP will goto the Xbox.

You also need to add an entry to your hosts file or change the server name in /etc/apache2/conf/apache2.conf

Okay, I forwarded the ports, but it still wasn't working correctly so I moved on to what nobspangle said. I'm pretty sure that I must take the '#' out of #servername localhost, right? Well, I did, but when I save it it says I don't have permission. I don't know howto get permission on the text editor. Please help, thank you.

You don't have to set the server name, it's just easier and will get rid of the can't find canonical hostname error.
Use nano to open the file like this
Code: Select all
su -
<enter your root password>
nano /etc/apache2/conf/apache2.conf
make your changes then press ctrl+x to exit, y to save and enter to accept the filename.
then restart apache using "/etc/init.d/apache2 restart" and if it's all working you can hit ctrl+d to return to the gentoox user
