Setting up a SUN Ultra 80 as a Web Server

redsleepy · 08-29-2003, 07:35 PM

Hi all, I have a SUN Ultra 80, 450Mhz, 512RAM that I would like to try and set up as a web server.

I would like to upgrade the OS on this machine as well and reset some of the IP and computer names settings that are currently set.

Can anyone point me in the right direction with a good OS and a possible walk-trough from other people that have done this?

Thanks,
Mike

If you have Solaris 9 CD's just load them on and break to the ok prompt (Stop-A), issue boot cdrom and the install will walk you through, you can install Apache from CD's as well but I'd recomend head over to one of the sunfreeware (sunfreeware.secsup.org is the one of the many) mirrors and get the latest Apache pkg or get the source from apache.org and compile it yourself, there are numerous tutorials for Apache setup so quering the google will suffice, good luck.
And don't forget to backup important files you might have before installing new OS.
