[@g0ekh03]

Fantastic tutorial. As a 73 year newbie I found it very clear and comprehensive. Thank you John.

[@talibbeig4666]

Your tutorials are appreciated. You explain everytNice tutorialng so simply and show the fundantals of producing. Many people and myself thank

[@claudebelanger8524]

Excellent tutorial! I was able to follow you from start to finish without getting confused. I have installed Ubuntu Server on a few machines and it's what I recommend the most often. Hopefully others viewing this video will recognize just how powerful and in my opinion safer Ubuntu Server is

[@MikeGarcia1Putt]

Even though this tutorial is outdated, and you'll have to search for some fixes and upgraded and updated downloads, this is a complete guide to setting up a home server. Thank You John

[@JamesCarson25]

If you are a web host, a web host reseller, a webmaster or anyone in web design or development, this video is a must see. Very important information for free.

[@Laurencedean1966]

having searched You tube, this is by far the best step by step guide for setting up, a web server, FTP and MySQL. Surpurb.......good job.

[@jarhead12181]

People of KZbin! I had a problem where I couldn't see the Apache page when I typed in the IP address into the browser! I had the Networking Adapter Type set to NAT in the VirtualBox settings. Change it to the Bridge adapter if it isn't working and restart. Before I was getting a IP address of 10.0.2.... but now it is normal and working! Thought I would share this with you so you too wouldn't have to go through hours of misery to get it to work!

[@celestineegbunike4768]

if your ip is 10.0.2... then it means your network adapter is on NAT, change it to Bridged Adapter :- Settings - Network - Bridged Adapter(DropDown). Hope this helps

[@adbaladba]

Great tutorial, thank you! You are a good man in a bad world.

Hahahahah best comment

[@sumitsharma2180]

Man tNice tutorials is on of the best tutorial in general on youtube. Clear, simple, constant, good to listen. Thank you for sharing.

[@JohnnyBG112]

John, thanks for this tutorial, a good reminder having already installed Ubuntu, Lamp & CMS about 2 years ago, I encountered two things though. First, errors because of inability to rewrite "ramfs"-something. This was solved by the command "apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade " immediately after the installation of Ubuntu (I installed Ubuntu ssh and then lamp-server) Second:: The activation of the ProFTPDserver module in webmin, was only visible after logging out and in in webmin.

[@Jacob190000]

I used this video to finally figure out how to add files to my server and be able to view them online. It was very clear and extremely helpful. Thank you.

[@gf6883]

Wow. I am currently learning how to build web sites but I really had no idea how to setup or run a web server. I really appreciate your tutorial for guys like me who havent done this it is a great resource. Thank You!

[@lvimplant]

Good tutorial. Walked me right through everything that I needed. At one point it was installing webmin and he had errors. I went to the web and found the current webmin and downloaded it and had to figure it all out. As I continued the video he explained everything I had just researched. Would have been nice to include a note that that was about to happen.

One of the f***in' greatest tutorials I've ever seen in my life - I wish I could buy you a beer!

[@1crazynordlander]

Fun to see someone who uses Webmin. I started using it in the late 90s and I love it! Thanks for a well presented video!!! Kevin

[@stuarthillman838]

I know this is nearly two years old now, but this simple walkthrough really helped me. Lots of time going to be spent tinkering/learning... thanks for the jump start!

[@Legxyng]

Just bought soft soft! So excited to get started!!

[@sandoval7]

13ppl have turkey legs for fingers. Lifelong Windows guy here, who only used Ubuntu desktop ONCE in ten years and have never tried a LAMP server. Doods, I got it on the very first try. Huzzah! I am building out my home ESXi Lab and wanted to throw in a webserver as a lark. Sweet 6lb 9oz baby jeezus in a ghost manger, it was easy! This video was awesome. Thank you, sir! Now If you could just point me to the next video in this series (?), you can tell me where to send you the balloons, beer and babes. ...okok sorry, that was rude. No balloons.

[@hillgendorf7]

This is beautiful. Worked the first try, no issues (aside from java, but that was on my end). Thanks a lot!

[@zekefujita]

Wow, thank you for your video. I have learned more with you here than my 6 months Linux class. Thank you!

[@sonarmark]

Bravo, I was trying to use apache to host a website, but I am now interested in trying ubuntu server and the other software you recommended as well. Once I step through this I would like to know how to use a .bit domain name to access this site. I guess I could set that up in webmin, but one step at a time.

[@jannserg]

finally 1 perfect and WORKING tutorial. well done!

[@block_wiz]

Also one quick thing, if you are planning to make your FTP server public, you really dont want to put a welcome banner and much less use regular FTP, make it SFTP help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/ftp-server.html When i had my own FTP server i was attacked by a brute force, the intruder never got in but just to be safe, use SFTP _and_ change the operating port of the server as well. NOTE: Always set an acl of what users can log into the FTP, i always disable root simply because thats the most obvious one to use in a brute force, use complicated usernames and passwords.

[@qtnull]

Good tutorial but is only for home territory. If you want to make a real server connected to the internet, you need to patch more security and not install things like webmin or phpMA or maybe FTP, hackers may use some exploits of these software to hack in to your server.

[@tahir4163]

teach me!!...

Biggest like i've never give, THANKS, very useful and easy to understand. -another spanish guy

Hey Joel Hendrix what's up?

[@andrefernandes2538]

Nice tutorial John DeVries, i'm actually thinking to build a webhosting service just for the pros. Ubuntu server solution it's enough. Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@alexkowalchuk3523]

The edits show up when I put localhost in the url, but if I put in the ip, nothing changes. Any Ideas?

[@Gemini5AU]

Basically you need to forward port 80 from your network gateway, firewall or modem and point it to whatever IP you set up your server, but only if you want to access you server from elsewhere on the net. There are a few tutorials around which show how,

[@yourpcmd]

Im all the way to 16:35 where I enter the ip address in browser, and it doesnt work. Times out! What did I do wrong, I followed this word for word.

[@Jaipaii]

I'm getting the same issue. I think it has something to do with network settings

[@Electronics61]

John many thanks for this great video. I successfully installed on Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS server. I hope now I will put this server to use asap. Many Thanks.

[@jakeestepp4406]

great tutorial, this is exactly what I needed.ive been fighting with geting my webserver running, so I am wiping it clean and starting over with this tutorial. one question I have is with this set up is there an easy way to host multiple sites on the same server?

[@willardhollandz2907]

This was so helpful , I could not have set this up as easy without this video , I thank you much for posting this , I without a doubt will be watching more of your tuts :)

[@MarcCurvinMD]

Awesome tutorial. I had been wanting to transition from MAMP to Ubuntu for a while but didn't have the time. Did it in 35 minutes with this tutorial.

[@TimOlaguna]

An outstandingly detailed and clear tutorial. I have downloaded the video for frequent reference.

[@chandlerlabs2478]

Great video! If I can get through the video on the first try, following the directions step by step, I consider the quality of the video to be great! It's refreshing finding videos that actually work and not just take you down the rabbit hole! Looking forward to watching more and thank you!

[@Letsgo_ray]

Very nice! I don't need to pay GoDaddy for web hosting, Thanks!

This was a great tutorial, without all the jargon! John explained everything really well, and I'm looking forward to learning more from John.

[@coolwaterdvr]

Awesome tutorial. This is the tutorial I've been looking for. I'm glad it's the new 12.04 LTS. I just finished installing my own server on a headless box. I'm looking forward for your next tutorial. Thank you very much.

[@jacobnoori]

Fantastic tutorial; thank you. It's still essentially the same process in 2018.

[@kurasfx1720]

webmin and filezilla can be omitted. When you have a home server that you access physically, its enough with Linux server or LAMP stack

Hi John, great tutorial, thank you ! Just wanted to ask, is it safe to use lamp stack for production environment ? I mean, i want to host a public web server at home but i'm not sure if it's safe enough given the fact that usually, these stacks (lamp / xamp / wamp) are made for development environment. Regards,

Great step by step video! I had trouble getting the webmin file, so I looked on webmin.com. An updated version is available on their website. Just change the filename to webmin_1.610_all.deb

hey man! im on the free version of soft soft and the plugins list on the left side of the screen is not showing up and i can not bring it up.

[@Remirf87]

Turn off the virtual machine and go to settings in the VM manager. Go to network adapter and make sure that you've selected the drop down that reads 'Bridged Adapter' then select your ethernet card.

[@King31j]

I can't get the webmin to install. I keep getting "error processing archive webin_1.580_all_all.deb (--install):cannot access archive:no such file or directory" what am I doing wrong?

[@erwinnovo3014]

Hi John, Thanks for the video! I learn a lot from it. Just want to ask you... I tried practicing install Ubuntu 14.04 LTS server on an Oracle Virtual Machine... I have done all the necessary install from webmin, phpmyadmin and even Filezilla can access the server. My question is that everytime I do something to the server OS when access the server the server's ip address keeps on changing incrementally. Example, from the beginning when I typed ifconfig the ip address was 192.168.0.50. Then after I did something I cannot access 192.168.0.50 but when you increment it to 192.168.0.51 I can access my server. This continued on after I made some other installation involving the server OS. Until I completed installing Filezilla on my host machine, the ip address changed to 192.168.0.61. I am just curious how come this happens. Is there anything I can do to correct this continuous changing of the ip address. Thank you in advance man! Erwin

[@cjchico]

You need to set a static IP for your router and computer.

[@mythinktube]

Nice tutorial! I've just come to the strange world of Linux from Windows after accepting how it makes for a much faster web server. I'm still a bit of a command line phobic which is why I've only tried Ubunto Desktop so far but then I had to learn commands anyway. My question is, will I get a significantly better performance installing Ubuntu Server over Ubuntu Desktop?

[@Kentos123]

You can use the LAMP set up as a home network webserver, your router will not have the forwarding of Port 80 to your home servers IP, so the WAN will not direct outside traffic to it. You can use the IP on the network to navigate to your server ( 192.168.#.# ). There may be better options depending on what you plan to do though.

[@sonarmark]

I guess I do not have a network adapter, I am using a USB adapter to connect to my wifi, can you recommend a setting for the virtual box setting? I am going to try the NAT, unless you have a better recommendation

[@ummhasan6]

Great step by step - Thanks! I just would like to know about the configuring of Apache after this set up. We didn't go through the ./configure in this tutorial. Do you have another one or does Apache 2.4.3 skip this step?

[@johndoppleguard]

Ha ha too funny.

[@GregLondon]

Thanks for the tutorial, it was very helpful. I don't understand, why use File Zilla? Doesn't webmin have at FTP of its own?

[@cumalikocoval810]

fucking idiotttttttttttttttttttt

[@GregLondon]

DeeJaVu What is your problem?

[@0151tutoriales]

just a littel question, when I connect to the ftp server, it allows me to create or modify information only inside the folder that I see when I log-in, how do I set it so that I can modify the files in the www folder?

my apache server isn't working when i type in the net address: it gives me unable to connect error message HELP

[@Sowrdfish8]

Great tutorial. Step by step loved it! Question. how would you login to the FTP server as root? Because as a user I'm obviously not able to transfer files directly to the www folder.

[@michaelrogers7581]

This is a great tutorial! I have a bunch of hard drives that add up to 3 TB and about 3 64 bit mother boards, I am looking to hookup a server at home for the family and to be a cloud for my grand-Kids, do you think i can get this hooked up?

Very helpful video. but where is the next video ? couple of more questions .Is it secure as the paid server ? can we use domain name instead of ip addess ? If so the how ? Thank You

[@lvsilver2436]

I couldn't log in to webamin from my local host or IP address. I think you miss a key bit of information here.

[@BoienReyes]

Nice tutorial I finally have working server. The next is the free domain dot.tk.... YEAH ROCK on

[@bilberto]

This looks to be a great tutorial. Once I have this setup how do I access it from outside the network. Because my isp leases me an ip address that changes everyday , do I need to setup ddns?

[@goroll]

www.noip.com or www.dyn.com I think noip has a free alternative. Both services seem to bee at their best when u choose the pay-for ones though.

[@marshal7102]

I downloaded Webmin throught the server just like you showed and when i tried to install it I got an error message stating: "webmin_1.580_all_deb is not an Debian format but it downloaded fine ??? have they changed the file since then or did I do something wrong????

Hi John, I tried SSH through terminal on another computer and it gave me an error. ssh root@IP_address does not work.

[@falconlifestyles]

I did every step you had. The only thing was under setting in the Virtual box, I couldn't select bridged network. It wouldn't let me. Any suggestions?.

[@drunkzx]

Followed the tutorial to every step. I have a few questions although. How do I reconfigure apache to allow my website to be seen from my public ip or in my case (i purchased a domain name and it will be forwarding to my webserver)

[@atomicmainstream4754]

+John DeVries Why do you need both FileZilla and Webmin?

[@youeatmetube]

- the command - fix for the install of webadmin: sudo apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions python - was not in the descriptions.

[@harmanahluwalia2891]

Great tutorial thanks! I have followed all the steps but im stuck on how to make my server accessible to everyone on the internet. For example, a user would type in my public ip address and be redirected to my website. Ive port forwarded 80 and 443, yet my website is still not showing up outside the LAN network, and typing the public ip within the lan network directs me to my router settings. Any suggestions?
