Running a Server

[pf123]

How do you run a server on knoppix 3.6?
I need a webserver, so i can host a website for all to see.
Does Knoppix have a web server program on it already? or do I have to download something like Apache.

Ive used Apache on Windows, but on this linux computer, i cant figure out how to install Apache because I cant download and install the windows version of Apache.

knoppix comes with apache, php and mysql, if you searched this forum you would have know that and then also you can easely find out how to start them....

Hard Disks are mounted in only read mode by default, to make an HD writable right click on HD icon\actions\change to write mode.

You need to be root to do this.
You can do it graphically by running these commands from a terminal window as user knoppix
su root <enter>
then, at the root prompt
konqueror<enter>
Then you can browse the filesystem and write/copy files to the /var/www directory from within konqueror.
