Hey I’m wanting to host a website on my Ubuntu server but when I put all the files there it don’t work I followed this https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutoria...igure-apache#4 which allowed my server to display a page but not my url? Then I looked at https://www.linode.com/docs/websites...-ubuntu-18-04/ and it still doesn’t work can anybody help?

Is this on your local machine or do you have a site hosting service? What does happen when you enter your URL?

And are you trying to access it from a different machine or from the same machine?

Is DNS setup?
Does the trivial test page in apache show up when you access it by IP?
Did you specifically setup cloudflare? Cloudflare is a little beyond what a total noob should attempt, IMHO.
Is the firewall open for the port and allows connections from your workstation?
Is apache running?

I can't help with the LAMP stuff. Never use that. I don't have the skills to secure php properly.

Everything is setup but I’ve never tried lamp I’ll see if I can get that to work

LAMP installs with one command:

sudo apt install lamp-server^

Please assume we are old, hard of hearing, idiots. Can you please explain what "everything is setup" means? Details. We've asked a few questions. If you don't intend to answer, that's fine. Please let us know.


You've basically said, "My car won't start", but didn't drop it off for anyone to check out. What mechanic could possibly help?
