I have a website with shopping cart running on my local machine. And i need to move it our linux machine so that i can test it locally with the gateway.

 

But i dont know much abt linux. I know that there is apache on that machine.

 

How do i set up the localhost so that i can browse to it from my machine?

IT is possible to use phpmyadmin on my machine to manage the database on the linux box (its not there yet, cause dont know what i should do)

 

IF anyone has had any experience in this..please give me a nudge in the right direction.

 

Will appreciate it alot

First you could browse to the http:// ipaddress of the linux box internally if apache is indead running check by browsing to localhost.localdomain on the apache box. In order to use PHPMyadmin on a remote host there are some caveats inherintally mysql only allows connections from the localhost. (I.E. when you are running a shopping cart program it is running on the localhost connecting to mysql) Go to the official mysql site and find out how to create a user that will be able to connect from any host.

 

Good Luck

 

also there is more than one way to start apache

if it is installed and not started try starting it.

 

one way is

 

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start from a console box

 

the other escapes me apachectl is the directive

 

from a console or command prompt (just like a dos box in windows)

 

type where is apachectl and the cd to that driectory and type apachectl start.
