Hello,

I have mandriva 2006 connected to a DSL
internet line.

I have a domain - www.abc.in

I want to set up the website on my local
system.

Can anybody guide me howto do it ?

Thanks in advance

1. you need a webserver - best suggestion here would be apache2
2. if you intend to do dynamic webpages you need the interpreter, perhaps a database
suggestions here would be php or cgi and for a db mysql or postgres
3. I would not advise you to run your website locally of a dsl line as your upload link (which is going to be the one used most) will not be fast enough to cover any amount of access.
if you are keen on running a private groupware server or a version controll server that works fine. but it is pretty slow!

Thanks Nathanael,

This is just for experiments so DSL should
be fine.

I will only put up only static page.

I have apache running.

So what next ?

Any tutorial you can suggest.
