How to Set Up Your Own Web Server. How to set up a Linux/Apache/MySQL/Php (LAMP) environment using Ubuntu server If you have an old Windows-compatible PC lying around, it's a fun exercise to set it up as a web server. It's also not too difficult if you have a guide such as this one to hand, and it doesn't matter if the PC is pretty old. Even something with 64 MB of RAM and an 8 GB hard disk is plenty. If you're undertaking such an exercise, a server-oriented version of Linux is a good choice. Why server-oriented? Because the added GUI desktop is totally unnecessary. Why not Windows? The only thing you need to check is that your computer has a built-in Ethernet connector. I'm going to use Ubuntu Server 7.10 for this project. Our Goal Once you have followed this document, you’ll have a working Web server onto which users can safely and securely upload files via ftp.

Phil finds to his surprise that it is easier to use Powershell and the HTML Agility Pack, than some of the more traditional approaches. Web-scraping suddenly becomes more resilient. Quite a lot of developers would like to read the data reliably from websites, usually in order to subsequently load the data into a database. There are several ways of doing so, and I’ve used most of them. If it is a one-off process, such as getting the names of countries, colours, or words for snow, then it isn’t much of a problem. An HTML table is the most obvious place to find data. There are plenty of ways of fighting back against sloppy web-pages to do web-scraping. If you are doing an aggregation and ‘warehousing’ of data from a number of sources you need to do sanity checks.

The alternatives Of the various methods of extracting data from HTML tables that I’ve come across… How Can I Tell What is Listening on a TCP/IP Port in Windows? Whenever an application wants to make itself accessible over the network, it claims a TCP/IP port, which means that port can’t be used by anything else. So if you need to use an in-use port, how do you tell what application is holding it? There’s a number of ways to tell what application has the port locked, but we’ll walk through the built-in way using the command line and Task Manager, and then a great freeware application that does it all in one utility.

Use Built-In Tools to See What is Listening on a Port The first step is to use a command-line tool to see what ports are in use, and use a special flag that tells us which port is assigned to each Windows process identifier number. Then we can use that number to look up exactly which process it is. Open up a command prompt and type in the following—you may have to open in Administrator mode to see all processes: netstat -ab | more This will immediately show you a list, although it’s maybe a little complicated. Netstat -aon | more.

Warnings Check with your ISP to make sure you are allowed to have a home server. How to set up a safe and secure Web server. Fifteen years ago, you weren't a participant in the digital age unless you had your own homepage. Even in the late 1990s, services abounded to make personal pages easy to build and deploy—the most famous is the now-defunct GeoCities, but there were many others (remember Angelfire and Tripod?).

These were the days before the "social" Web, before MySpace and Facebook. Instant messaging was in its infancy and creating an online presence required no small familiarity with HTML (though automated Web design programs did exist). Things are certainly different now, but there's still a tremendous amount of value in controlling an actual honest-to-God website rather than relying solely on the social Web to provide your online presence.
