Synook Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 What do you need help with? You need to:- Install a server- Make your server publicly accessible by:--- Port-forwarding on your router--- Making sure port 80 is unblocked with:----- the relevant firewalls----- your ISP--- Giving your server a permanent address by:----- Getting a static IP----- Using a dynamic DNS service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thescientist Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 if you're just looking to test locally, why not just get an AMP stack. Windows, Mac, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windows, Mac, etc.He did say he didn't want to download anything, but in truth, this is probably the best way to do what he wants to do because it doesn't consume the resources of the host, and get can just do it locally using XAMPP (That's what I use, it's amazing!).

Oh well, I'm still sticking by my recommendation. Why would you want to have to go and FTP your file(s) just fix a syntax error? And if he doesn't want to do it through a remote host, the task of setting up your own server far outweighs the effort/complication of downloading a stack. (and will most likely involve downloading something anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
