Want a Home Server? You Have One Already! Here's How

Have you ever wondered about having your very own server and website in your closet, maybe in your den, or in you media niche, or where ever you see it fit? Well, if you're like me, who's all the time wondered how to get a home server up and running without reading forums after forums of tech-perts that only rant about how brainless newbies are, then you have serendipitously landed on this page! Go buy yourself a lottery mark afterwards...you might just win! In this article, I will show you how uncomplicated it is now-a-days to get your home server configured and your webpage brought online, all from the hardware that you currently have.

Disclaimer: Please read this whole description in completion with faultless understanding before starting any installations. If in doubt, do nothing. This description is for educational and testing purposes only. As such, it is understood that I or any persons, associates, or references are excluded from indemnification from all and any monetary, software, hardware, personal or business lost from all or any attempts suggested by this article.

Home Media Server

1. Use Your Laptop or Desktop Pc

You should surely use an old desktop Pc that's trustworthy adequate to run 24/7/365 days a year without your business or personal data on it. No,not your Grandpa's Pc (a mainframe). Get a Desktop Pc with Pentium 3 or 4 Desktop Cpu. Or use a laptop Pc. It doesn't matter as long as it can run Window's 2000 or Xp at least! If you're planing to use this for business, don't do it, because it has no redundancies. This description is for testing a non-production personal home server. I used a "headless" (no keyboard, mouse, or video terminal)Shuttle Pc with Xp Media center Sp3. Remember, a server is only a software. They only call a hardware a server because of its hardware assembly redundancies in which it can host a software that specifically designed to run services for that hardware, 24/7/365 days a year. Your Pc with a server software becomes a server without the hardware redundancies, so please do not use it for business or output purposes unless you place redundancies for it. Now, if you've installed Linux on your Pc, then you're reading this description for entertainment value. Leave now or you'll think I am a newbie. If your Pc has Windows Os installed, then I feel sorry for you. I'm joking! Let's move on. Windows Os is okay, just as long as it's Windows 2000, Xp, or Windows 7, (Avoid Vista if you can). It is understood that you're already related to the Internet with a ubiquitous router and you're somewhat Pc literate, but if not, take some courses on how to run a Pc and get an Isp Asap (if you're reading this description from a friend's computer, of-course). Basically, prep-up and come back here at when you're ready.

2. Download and setup Wamp on your Windows Pc

Back in the olden days, we had to setup and configure the Iis, Apache, and the database software to make a web server work for a Win-tel platform. Now, all you have to do is download a box that will setup and configure all of the for you for the Win-tel (Windows-Intel) machine. The box that can do this is called Windows-Apache-MySql-Php or "Wamp". If you have Linux, you've already installed the Lamp ("L" stands for Linux instead of Windows). So, start downloading Wamp on your Windows machine. You can download Wamp from Wampserver. Just Google "Wampserver".

3. Download and setup Joomla

Once you've installed Wamp, you will have a sample welcome page or landing page called "index.html" from your Apache web server placed in your Www root directory under the briefcase Wamp. If you type "localhost" on your Internet Explorer's address field, you will see that it will take you to that welcome page. You basically have a full-pledged Web Server on your Pc now. It is just not accessible from the world wide web or cyberspace. But before we get your Web Server Online so cyberspace can see it, let's make it look good first. So, I will introduce to you a theory called "Content supervision System" or Cms. This theory called Cms will help you customize your webpages for your web server more surely and professionally than ever before. No more ugly webpages from the 1990s that took forever to redesign and recode -Hello! Joomla is one of those web page Cms's and it's total free with full backing and reserve from a growing community, so download it here for Free. setup it on your Wamp server Pc only after you've seen this instructional video from YouTube in Hd. Remember to originate your MySql database first for your Joomla website and keep all Login Name and Passwords the same throughout your web amelioration to minimize confusion and frustrations. You can do all Wamp configurations from the Wamp systems tray icon on the lower left hand of your Windows desktop. Also, if you want your website to come up automatically when typing localhost from your browser, you will need to unzip the Joomla files directly into the /Wamp/www root folder. Note: There are many ways to setup Joomla faster than ever before, but if you want to know how it all works, do it manually like in this following video.

4. Showcase your Website from your Home Server to the World

Now that you've got your Test Home Server and Website up and running, you'll need to passage it from face your home or local Lan (Local Area Network). In order to do that, you'll need to passage your home router to configure port forwarding to transmit Http (Hyper Text replacement Protocol) requests to your home server and originate a Dns or Domain Name assistance to associate a Domain Name to your Ip address of your home web server's router. First, find out what the login and password is of your router. If you don't know, then it should be the default login name and password for your exact brand of router. Click here for the default login name and password of your router. Write down the default information. Now open a Cmd (command prompt) window by typing "Cmd" in the Run window from the "Start" tab from your home server by clicking "Run" first. In the command prompt window, type: "ipconfig /all" and description the Ip address of your web server and the default gateway's Ip address. Then try to login to your router from your web browser by typing in the Gateway Ip address in the address field. You should be prompted for a Login Name and Password and if you have not changed it, it should be the default login name and password. If you are able to login to your router, then the next thing you need is the Ip address assigned by your Internet assistance supplier or Isp for your router. It should Not start with 192.x.x.x. description this Ip address because this is the Ip address you'll need to input when applying for a domain name from DynDns. Then you will need to go straight through the DynDns's steps to get your web server or home server related with a Static Domain Name for your router's Isp assigned Ip address. With most routers, there is a reserved field for assigning Dns names from fellowships that contribute Free Dns names such as DynDns. See if you have that and configure accordingly in your router. Finally, you will need to transmit the Http ports to your home server's local Ip address from your router. Now, your home server's Ip address should be statically assigned, but as long as the Dhcp (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server in your router assigns the same Lan Ip address to your home server all the time, you should be fine. But just keep a note that this should be a static Ip. If you would like to configure your home server's Ip as a static Ip, then you'll need to go to Start-Control Panel-Network and Internet Connections-Network Connections then right click "Lan Area Connection", highlight "Internet Protocol (Tcp/Ip)", and click "Properties" from your Windows desktop. This will show you a window where you can assign the Dynamic Ip address as a Static Ip address by selecting and filling up "Use the following Ip addresses" section with the same dynamic information. Here are the faultless instructions for obtaining a DynDns list and Dns name by clicking here.

Of-course, a video of this gibberish is worth a thousand words, so here it is. Just copy and paste the videow estimate in youtube: wXkatnbgOpo

5. Test your home web server using your Dns name

If all works out right and Murphy's Law somehow never got to you during this process, then buy two lottery tickets, or drink a beer, or do something to rejoice because you're on your way to perpetuating yourself online forever! So, test this home server with your chosen Free Dns name from DynDns. Type in your Dns name which should be a sub-domain of any DynDns domain name. Don't forget to type as such: "yourdnsnamefromdyndns.whateverdyndnsdomainname.com". This name is now related to your Isp's Ip address of your home router which forwards the Http request from the face world to your home server's local Ip address, in turn, forwarding that to your Apache web server's index page of your home server which is enabled with Php scripts and MySql database for a faultless content supervision System! Congratulations!...I think.
