html to php?

[jizzmasterflex]

How do you tell a .html file to load a .php file? Kinda like they go to my site and it redirects them to the news.php file... I can't figure out how to just get it to go to the news.php instead of index.html... so i want the .html to load the .php

Thanks,
Jizz

Why don't you just make the news.php page index.php instead?

Are you using Apache?

[jizzmasterflex]

yes.

i think i need a mysql server... how hard is this to setup on my linux pc?

It depends whether you want to install it from source or not. If you want to install from source then its fairly simple if you follow the INSTALL file. But if you want to install it from a rpm then this link will help you out

If you have apt-get on your linux box, then it should just be one line in a shell to set it up.

Ok, so I downloaded this.

http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/M.../mirror/mysql/

and then I installed with YaST.

But where would it show up? How do I finish installing it? Sorry.. this is my first day on a linux.. trying to get my http server working correctly lol.

Also, Can I host domain names off of a computer? Right now my http server is at http://mrtikki2.no-ip.org/ but I would like it to be at www.venomsource.com .

Thanks for all the help!

5 = the amount of seconds.
news.php = file or website you can also do http://google.com etc

No that is not posible.

You will need a domain name registered and pointing to your IP which should hopefully be static. You can also use a service such as dyndns.org if you have a dynamic IP. Most routers these days have support for those services.
