This might be an old question but can anyone show me step by step how to make my webserver go online. &nbsp;I'm able to see the Apache test page when I type <a href="http://localhost" rel="ugc">http://localhost</a>&nbsp;in the browser. &nbsp;I have a cable internet with a static IP address. I have a Linksys router. &nbsp;In the router config, I have opened port 80 and pointed it to this computer. I can connect to my webserver from outside when I run Window. But if I switch to Redhat, type in my IP, the browser doesn't know where to go.<br />
<br />
Thank in advance

How to setup a webserver at home  ( Redhat 9)

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
