Setting up a website on amiga

[Gojirax]

What's this THTTPD I see on Aminet?

tiny/turbo/throttling HTTP server

http://main.aminet.net/search.php?query=httpd

I see version 2.23(Beta1) for 68k AmigaOS but the more recent version 2.25b is only for MorphOS.

Has anyone recompiled 2.25+ for AmigaOS? From the Readme's it appears that they claim it will cleanly compile on any Unix-Like OS. Just curious. I'd like to try this sometime.

MetlWeb is for creating Webpages. Also it is a nice approach it is nearly useless as  it only gives you very basic HTML features that could easyer and faster be put together with a simple texteditor even from a newbie.

GoldED with the Webworld plugin on the other hand is very usefull.

Hum, I have the MetalWeb-package that came with my full version of AWeb - but I could not get any results with it when I tried it some years ago.
If I clicked on any of the items in one of the windows nothing happened.

Do you have any experience with MetalWeb and can you explain how to get it working?

(I put my webpage together with my trusty old CygnusEd 4...)

Following @Castellen indications you will be able to put online your own web server. I would follow this order:

 - configure amiga web server
 - test local conections to 80 port. With your favourite browser connect to http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1
 - test local conection to private IP like http://192.168.1.12 (this IP depends about your local network config)
 - test conections over your local network. From another local netstation test conection to amiga over private IP like http://192.168.1.12
 - like previous point, test public IP. If you don't know your public IP, you can test it searching at google a port scaner (they always show your public IP).
 - Config your dinamic dns with DynDNS and test AmiDynDNS
 - voilá! your server is ready

 :-)

Yeah, if only I knew how ;-)

I would recommend aws, really nice webserver with low memory footprint and it's very fast...

check out my A600 webserver.

edit:
btw, aws can be downloaded from my A600, it's a version I got from one of the programmers of aws and the latest version I have been able to track down.

That's a pretty responsive web site for a vanilla 68000 cpu running on 2 megs of Chip ram only!

Very nice!

I had a neat working connection including a url.
Still have a working connection but when trying to show/load the site it doesn't read the whole page.
It just loads 2 out of the 3 pictures of the page if I am lucky.
Loading it with local file in a browser works ok.
Problem with GW3s ??
It also freezes the computer sometimes when automatically started on startup of genesis.
Also have miamidx but would that make any difference?
Maybe I should try an other webserver.

@amiga4001:

Just use the AWS webserver which fx talks about in his post and you will be successful. It works very very well.
