Network Configuration
Okay, so let's not forget that before Apache will work, or you can even think about serving WEB pages, it's key to do the network configuration! I won't try to explain the configuration of your personal network because it's really information I should write in a different document.
However, here are some of the basics you'll need to keep in mind:
* Use Network Configurator (usually under Administration in X) to assign IP addresses as needed.
* Use LinuxConf (usually under System in X) to assign proper rights to your account to allow setting up server etc.
* Check to make sure you have a hostname properly assigned by typing:
hostname
Let's assume your network is properly configured and move on!
