Server Setup Issue

[haryoh]

Hi,

I want to setup a server at home to support some of my projects and have access to it publicly. I followed the tutorial on the ubuntu site, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto but I didn't get where it says nameserver settings. I don't know if I should set up a new nameserver for my domain on my home server and add it to my godaddy domain nameserver. And when I dig it, it didn't resolve to the domain name or the host name, instead it resolved 127.0.0.1

Is there any way i can get a straight forward tutorial that says everything in details.

I use a Compaq AMD 32bit with only 2 133MB memory sticks which is running perfectly.

Please, help.

I'm assuming you want a web server, not a name server, so you can forget BIND9:
Installing Apache, mySQL, and PHP on Ubuntu (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ApacheMySQLPHP) [Ubuntu Wiki]

Fella,

You can use the LAMP installation included in the Ubuntu Server CD for the Web Server and then install the ProFTPD for the FTP server.

Cool guides you can find here:

one more question: so by the time I finish the LAMP installation, I will be able to access my server from any where and my ftp?
