SImple Question

I have an Apache server and I just finished editing it. I gave out the adress to my server, to a friend to check it out. He says that my site says it is under construction. When I go to view it looks fine. How can I solve this?

Need more info. How are you getting to it, and how is your friend getting to it. Does it have a domain name, or are you strictly using IP address. When you access it are you using "localhost" or the domainname/ip address?

Right off the bat, it almost sounds like maybe you have IIS and apache running. If it's giving an "under construction" message it sounds like IIS is doing your public web serving for some reason. Apache doesn't have a "under contruction" default page.

ok, i'm using my IP adress, to get to my site i told him to go to12.226.40.198.. (that is what i put in my conf file) so I told him to go there and he said there was an underconstruction message. I don't know what IIS or whatever that thing is.. maybe you could see for yourself..

Hmm... I see some page about "stark's pond". Not sure what the problem is.

IIS is Microsoft's web server that comes bundled with NT/2000/XP.

You really should learn HTML before you try doing anything with PHP. Your HTML question is really basic stuff, I would recommend going through some HTML tutorials before doing anything else.

As far as your specific question, you can use tables or layers to position things. Layers are a more advanced topic, so try to just lay it out with tables. Something like this:


<table>
<tr><td colspan="2"><img src="main_image.jpg"></td></tr>
<tr><td>Links go here</td><td>News goes here</td></tr>
