red hat and apache
 

Hi all,

I registered my domain name and I got an account with Zone Edit. I pointed my domain to the name servers on Zone Edit. I am not sure how to set up apache to host my site now? Can Anyone help? I need the proper steps to set apache up in conjunction with Zone Edit. Thanks 8)

There's really not a lot to do. Install the Apache RPMs (and any others like PHP that you might want for your site). Also, make sure that port 80 is open to the Internet on your machine. Also set the ServerName directive in /etc/http.d/httpd.conf to the name of your server (www.yourdomain.com) and you should be set.

How can I do this? I try and open the file, and it says there is no application associated with it.

Thanks!

If you're working in the GUI you can use gedit or kedit to open it. But if you're going to be running a Web server, you might want to learn how to do this stuff from the command line. Nano and pico are command line text editors that should be pretty non-threatening for a newbie.
