I am new to web development.
I have set up a Apache 2.4 web server windows and would like to create a web application. I would like to upload files (JavaScript, style sheets ..etc) onto the server. I have been googling for hours and can not figure out how to ssh onto the server. The server is barebones, I can put the IP address into a browser on other computers and access the index.html. What are my next steps so I can ssh onto the server and view my web application?

Hi i am new to Web Services. Here is my doubt
1) If i am hosting my website then their should be a web server which should keep my website into that this also we are calling server..
2) If i want to run PHP Program in my local system i should use Local Server lie XAMPP this also we are calling server.
My doubt is for example in local system i have downloaded Xampp and i am running my server side program.. but after uploading into server how its working
also AWS, Proxy is which server???
All the servers are confusing a lot
Both web servers and local servers are just computers with software installed on them.
Not much more.
That said a web server is a computer that is connected to the internet and has some kind of a web server software installed on it.
The most common one is an HTTP server software that can serve web pages.
For example, Apache, Nginx are both HTTP servers that can serve both static and dynamic web pages to browser across the world.
Another web server can be FTP, IRC, NTP, SMTP/IMAP/POP3 (mail servers) are all web servers that just have different software installed on them and so they serve other purposes.
A local server is again a computer that serves a client within the local network or LAN.
That means that in most cases it will not be connected to the internet or if it does it will be protected with a password so not everybody can access its services.
It can act as a file server or LDAP server that are roles of a typical local server but it can also be a local web server that holds web-based application only for the local organization.
For example, a company will have a local web server with Salesforce installed on it to serve it's CRM needs.
To make a long story short both servers are just computers connected to a network. Local servers are connected to the LAN and Web Servers are connected to the WAN. Other than that it really depends on the software you install on them and the use you want to make of them.
If you need more clarification, leave a comment and I'll try to help.
Well I am not an expert on Apache or any web server, I have recently finished my first web app, so I have rsyncd code to web server /HTML.
The web app is python flask based uses wsgi module to load.
I do not have control over Apache as it's taken care by systems department.
So I cannot test myself in office. I just want to know if we upload updated/modified code to the host machine running apache web server, will it pick up changes or we need to restart the Apache web server?
I have two Wordpress websites hosted on two different servers and wish to consolidate these to be hosted on one server.
I've successfully transferred the database and website files over and setup the new virtual host in Apache.
Before switching the DNS over to the new server, I like to confirm it is working by altering my hosts file (I'm on Windows) to point to the new server:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx example.co.nz
I can verify this by running ping example.co.nz and see that it is correctly pinging the IP address specified in the hosts file.
The strange thing, though, is that when I go to example.co.nz in my browser, I am redirected and served the other website that was originally on this server; othersite.co.nz.
But if I open my Chrome Dev Tools, which has the cache disabled, then I am served the correct site.
Is this just a local caching issue or will other users trying to access the site be affected by this? Is there a way I can verify this, perhaps externally?
I was wondering if it's possible to use Apache to request websites on a local network, with apache being the gateway so to speak? On my home network I currently have a Windows box running an ASP.NET site, it has to run under Windows/IIS, a server I'm not particularly fond of, but I can live with it... Alongside this I'm thinking about running an Apache server on a separate machine, for my PHP applications, as well as some other applications (e.g. Plex).o
Ideally I'd like to have Apache on port 80, listening for requests, and using the sort of functionality I have with a virtual hosts file to load content from another webserver on my network, that isn't directly accessible through it's own port. I know I could just run PHP under IIS, or move one server to another port, but there's no fun in that!
Yesterday I created an Azure Virtual Machine using the simple Win2008r2 + SQL2008r2 image.
I have deployed a website to the VM via an RDP session.
I am able to browse the website locally (via RDP) using
"http://localhost"
I understand that I need to add an Azure endpoint for port 80 to enable me to browse to the site from an external machine.
I have configured the Windows Firewall on the Azure VM to allow traffic on Port 80 inbound and outbound.
Could anyone please advise what I've missed or what I can do to troubleshoot?
---Update-----
I have learned a little more this morning. The website that I'm trying to host on the VM is an installation of Interwoven Teamsite v7.3.x. When I looked in IIS I could see that the "Default Web Site" was stopped. Another website called "TeamSiteSitePubPreview" had been created but was only bound to port 81.
So, what was presenting the website I could see when I browsed to
http://localhost locally?
I ran netstat -ano and this showed me that PID 1604 what listening on port 80. I then ran Process Explorer which told me that PID 1604 was allocated to "Appache HTTP Server".
I know nothing about About Appache, can anyone tell me if there's some Apache config that will be preventing connections from outside of the local server?
For reference, I just tested this sequence and it gives you a website accessible over the Internet:
Create a new Windows Azure virtual machine with the Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 image.
Add an endpoint on public port 80, private port 80.
While the endpoint is being created, start setting the server up.
Remote Desktop in.
Add the Web Server (IIS) role with default settings.
Test the connection. You should get a HTTP 200 OK status.
If you want to troubleshoot your server, start checking for errors in the event log. Check also the website bindings in IIS (Port 80, IP Address *).
Also consider the connection issue might be on the client (your) side. For instance, DNS caching. Try connecting from another machine with direct Internet connection (such as another cloud server) or from a service such as isup.me.
Additionally, if all you want is to host websites in IIS, the Web Sites service has a more streamlined experience.
You will need to create an endpoint on port 80 thru Windows Azure Management portal as well. This endpoint opens a port in the Windows Azure Load-balancer.
Navigate to your VM within the portal and create a new Endpoint under the Endpoints screen of VM configuration within Azure management portal.
