Hi,
I downloaded NCSA 1.5 version of httpd and compiled it last
night. I have a question about setting up the Server.
See, I wanted to run the httpd as a standalone(is that the word?)
process on my home machine without connecting to the Internet. I have
assigned a host name (not a valid DNS) to my box. How can I access the
homepage of the user on this machine? By using netscape, I thought of
using http://myhostname/users but it didn't work that way since
myhostname itself is not a valid DNS.
One other thing, if I've reconfigured the httpd, do I need to
restart my computer for the change to take effect?
Thanx in advance!
p/s: I have FreeBSD 2.1 version on my pentium box.
