I'm still having problems getting it to work. I was wondering if perhaps anyone could help me through like aim or icq. I would appreciate if someone could do this. Here is my info.

aim = MeticDesign
icq = 153365792

thanks in advance

Here is something about setting up Apache on Windows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When I try to start Apache from a DOS window, I get a message like "Cannot determine host name. Use ServerName directive to set it manually." What does this mean?
It means what it says; the Apache software can't determine the hostname of your system. Edit your conf\httpd.conf file, look for the string "ServerName", and make sure there's an uncommented directive such as

ServerName localhost
or

ServerName foo.com
in the file. Correct it if there one there with wrong information, or add one if you don't already have one.

Also, make sure that your Windows system has DNS enabled. See the TCP/IP setup component of the Networking or Internet Options control panel.

After verifying that DNS is enabled and that you have a valid hostname in your ServerName directive, try to start the server again.

No, my ip doesn't change, i'm on a 2mb up and down dsl connection.

What kind of connection are you on? I.e., does your IP address change?

Ok, that's cool. I set up my webpage and turned on apache. I access my site by typing in my ip address so that I can view it and everything works. However, I want to allow other people to view it without getting an error message saying it can't be found. I think it has to do with dns. Could someone please explain how i can do this? Thanks

It's a windows server.

Is this a Linux or a Windows server?
