Apps :: How to get Apache working

Could someone walk me through how to get Apache downloaded and working on DSL? I've tried, but it'll never let me download it from Synaptic because it won't download some of the required packages.

I might get you thru the download.....

1. Open a root shell
2. type nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Edit the second line - change from stable to unstable
( just add the letters ' un ' to the front of the word ' stable ' )
To save - type (ctrl + o ) to exit - type ( ctrl + x )
3. type apt-get update
4. type apt-get install apache

See if that works for you.

The easiest thing to do would be to use Monkey webserver. It's in DSL already. Double click on the DSL control panel on your desktop, then click Monkey. That "turns on" the Monkey webserver. To test, you open a browser and input 127.0.0.1 in the URL line to see the cool Monkey page. I use Monkey, and it does every thing I need it to do so far. Also have Apache on another machine (not DSL) it's a good one too.

i have monkey working fine but how to i get php working?

Theres a short help file on the monkey homepage on adding php support. As for using php, there should be plenty of examples about.
