Allright I just installed linux on an old machine and I want to run my web server from here can anyone recommend some good sites with tutorials on it?

Thanks

To set up and run apache (web server) I'd suggest:
http://www.apache.org/

To set up and run MySQL, I'd suggest:
http://www.mysql.com/

To set up and configure PHP, I'd suggest:
http://www.php.net

Alternatively, you could simply download a 3-in-1 piece of software that will install and configure all three so that the server's are up and running, and then all you simply need do is configure httpd.conf, php.ini and config.inc (phpmyadmin) to get it all working correctly. There are a few of these packages out there, here is a list of the ones I know about (both Windows & Linux versions):

I appreciate the response but I was more talking for linux itelf rather then web specific. I got red hat 8.0 which comes with all three so I don't have to worry about getting those three.

Is there anything particular you are interested in learning?

Linux tutorials:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=linux+tutorials

The linux documentation project
http://www.tldp.org/index.html

Those are a good place to start ...

Nope just looking at reading up on a little of the behind the scenes stuff so I can tinker 🙂

I love to tinker 🙂
