Thanks for the relpy, i'll give it ago and see what happens
I'm still new to liunx but getting there.
here is what i did last night...
Did a fresh install to try and load in as less as possible....and it's a good way for me to learn
I did a custom install from the GUI installer....
I picked all the server stuff and a mozilla browser and vi, and thats it....
I created my user ( cooldude ) and i created a folder within ( cooldude called downloads, just in case i need to install any appz.
I created a group called www, # groupadd www, but i have not added cooldude to it yet...
I tried startx, and that worked, comes up like the windows win 3.1 style but green
So the mozilla browser works, when running it from startx window.
So now i can check my URL if needed...
I did try installing webmin, but i found it was out of place with the system, half of it said it was not configered right
So i left it be, on this install webmin is not in.
the httpd start page works on my XP browser ok...
and the ftp works, if i contect to it...
sounds to me that i'm doing all right, but what you reckon ?
also i may try install myphpadmin rpm, so i'll be able to excute the scripits for phpnuke when needed via browser..
instead of using webmin...
