Ubuntu server 6.10, Test web server...

[alfa147x]

I need to set up a test server so I can test my site before I upload it.
I would like to use Ubuntu because i have the most experience in it.
I installed the Server 6.10 LTS

I would like to know if any one has a good guide on how to set one up?

Another thing is that i would like to be able to be able to use that computer's command line over the internet from a school computer via usb thumb drive ?

Thanks

'sudo aptitude install openssh-server apache2' and you should be off to the races. Then just grab something like PuTTY to ssh into the thing from anywhere.

is there an guide on how to use apache?

There's decent docs at httpd.apache.org but it depends on what you want to setup. By default I believe it's setup to take static files in /var/www. If you want any apache modules you'll need to install the package for them, if one doesn't exist you'll have to compile it yourself but that's rarely the case.

First of all, 6.10 is not the LTS version. The LTS version of Ubuntu would be 6.06 (Dapper Drake) which is what you should be using.

Start out with the Apache section from here: <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/index.html">https://help.ubuntu.com/6.0......guide/C/index.html</a>
and then go to the docs at httpd.apache.org if you need more detailed information.

After reading your thread on Ubuntu Forums, I'll also tell you, there is also a section on ssh at this link I just posted.
