I have set up a web server with CentOS and WordPress. &nbsp;I can see the site on the box but can not see it from another machine on the local network. &nbsp;The network in a windows domain. &nbsp;Do I need to authenticate the server on that domain or can I run it on its own? &nbsp;I have tried both ip and host name. &nbsp;I can ping the ip but not the host name. &nbsp;If I need to set it up on the domain how do you do that in linux? &nbsp;Thanks.

Setting up a test web server with CentOS and WordPress

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.

Web Servers

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
