I'm running an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS LAMP server on Hyper-V, which itself is running under Windows 8.1. When I first set it up on my usual home network, I set it up with an 'External' virtual switch...
Have a look at this link. This is what I followed when I installed it on 12/13.xx. It seems to have survived all upgrades so far and is now happily running under 14.04

Whilst I'm partial to a slice of pizza, no amount of pepperoni is going to get me over the Arabic language hump - not even if I stay here another 15 years... ](*,)
As for it being a home box, that...
I saw this kind of quote several times whilst I was searching for answers, and was probably the primary reason for me not changing the ownership on /var/www earlier - I just wasn't convinced I should...
OK. All steps described above have been completed, and I can now post files again, and they retain the www-data group as they're uploaded. I will be reading more though...
Thanks for the updates. Whilst I've not got back to this (life is busy), I have been reading; notably these two responses from askubuntu.com

This is what's it's show using the -al and -la modifiers for the ls command (I've always used the latter previously)
chris@PIGLET2:~$ ls -al /var/www

A bit of background first. I have had this server running and posting files into /var/www before, but it doesn't seem to have taken kindly to the upgrade to 14.04 I did a short while back. It's...
OK, I've now amended /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf to read
send host-name "PIGLET2";
#send host-name = gethostname();
#send dhcp-client-identifier 1:0:a0:24:ab:fb:9c;
#send dhcp-lease-time 3600;
...
There's a 'Request' in there that refers to 'host-name', but that's about it. No clues as to where it's picking it from though.
The server was set up with a static IP, but I've since reverted it to DHCP. There is a reserved address for the server in my Netgear WNR2000 anyway. For a number of reasons, the router has had its...
At the moment, the computer names of the windows devices (and HP OfficeJet & QNAP) quite happily transmit their computer names back to my NetGear WNR2000. My Ubuntu 13.10 server install (and iOS...
I'm not sure I've got the experience to answer any of those questions. Certainly you need the LAMP stack running to install Webmin on top of, but I've just been selecting that as I run though the...
I installed it just before Christmas on 13.10 without too much difficulty using this (admittedly dated) guide -...
In the end, I put a couple of different disks in it and did a scratch rebuild. Looking at a repeat of the first couple of checks I did, all now seems well and I think we can consider this closed.
Thanks both. That's what I was guessing at. I've always just connected via IP, or set a hosts file too, so looks like I'm good to go.
I've ended up starting from scratch with my home server again, and have got to a prompt during the install that I don't recall seeing on previous iterations. It reads as follows:
There are...
I've checked in the BIOS and it appears to be seeing both disks. The boot sequence also appears to be showing two disks as being good, though it's shooting through a little quick to pick up every...
Looking at the results of this post - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2191351&p=12863208#post12863208 - it's definitely not being detected. I'm not sure whether I can tell whether the disk...
Well there were no issues with the connections. And I've identified the problem disk, which I've now disconnected and rebooted back into the remaining good disk.
I've got a couple of spare 500GB...
OK, thanks. I crack it open and see what occurs. :)
This one appeared to do nothing and just dropped me onto the next cmd prompt
