Many ask the question "How to Create the Server?", but in order that to answer it, it is necessary to understand what disappears under the term "server". The server is a hardware-software computing system which can provide different services to "clients" (the client is the any PC user who is connected to the server and using its services).
Instruction
1. The hardware of the server (hardware) is in fact the normal computer of the increased power and with an opportunity free expansion, i.e. increases in power by means of installation of new modules.
2. A program part of the server (server software) - this that part of the server which executes the main functionality. It usually consists special operating rooms (they are called still server since they are focused only on certain tasks: high performance, the reliable system of fault tolerance, lack of excess system modules like support of games, etc.). Windows Server 2003 x64 can be an example of a similar system. The second part is server programs, such as proxy server, http-server (for example, Apache), the server of databases (for example Oracle), etc.
3. For developers and also for the beginning administrators there are different assemblies of servers which can be downloaded and started without deep knowledge of administration and programming, having just installed. One of the most popular programs of this kind is Xampp.
4. This software package is cross-platform (i.e. it will work both with Windows, and with Unix/Linux/Solaris) assembly of the Web server which includes two Apache primary servers (the http-server for service of requests) and MySql (server of the populyany database), the interpreter of the PHP programming language (without this component of the server PHP scripts will not work), the Perl programming language, servers of sending and obtaining e-mail - POP3/SMTP and also several useful utilities for server management - phpMyAdmin (database management system) and the fpt-client of FileZilla.
5. The last stage of creation of the server is creation (purchase) of the constant IP address conducting to your server. Purchase of the IP address and domain name can be made at one of the companies providing services in rent of a hosting (the hosting is a rented server with the installed operating system and the Web server) and domains (for example, agava.ru).
