install apache and an ftp server on your fedora.
use yum install vsftpd and yum install apache2.
after that
chkconfig httpd on
chkconfig vsftpd on
service httpd restart
service vsftpd restart
then place your webpages in /var/www/html

First strip and harden, *then* add and config SW.

There's no point complaining that you don't like the standard of the free support you get here. You'd be better off reading through the Apache 2.2 docs at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/, trying it yourself and then asking specific questions. Those questions need to include what you were trying to do, what you did and what the system responded with.

It's unlikely that anyone will write you a complete Apache howto since there is already plenty of information on the Apache site and available via google.

it already has an apatche and I belive a Http thingy.
Be methodical, factual and be specific.


then how do I access it? and how can I access it from anywhere and can I remote access it so I can place stuff on it from my computer?
Let's first see everything is installed and configured, OK?
Worry about accessing it remotely later.
w3bd3vil told you what and how to install it.
If you don't know how to install stuff then ask.


also do I need a licence or somthing.
For what?


and chkconfig httpd on
chkconfig vsftpd on
service httpd restart
service vsftpd restart
isnt working...HELP!

Please be precise.
*What* is not working, and if it isn't working is it installed?
If it is installed, is it configured?
If it is configured what are the errors?

hope this help

it already has an apatche and I belive a Http thingy.
yes it has, but by default http daemon(apache) is not started, try chkconfig --level 35 httpd

then how do I access it? and how can I access it from anywhere and can I remote access it so I can place stuff on it from my computer?
there are lots of ways to acces and place there your stuff. by ftp, ssh, samba and others, it depends on you how you want to access that machine.

also do I need a licence or somthing.
Linux is publish under GPL licence, you can find lots of informations about that

and chkconfig httpd on
chkconfig vsftpd on
service httpd restart
service vsftpd restart
isnt working...HELP!

most probably you have incorrect paths. exact locations? in /sbin directory

I've merged two similar threads. Lord Hakk, try to keep all questions related to a single issue in one thread. This makes it easier for others to follow the discussion and hopefully help you out.

You need to be root in order to access the chkconfig command. Use the "su -" command to switch to root.
