After doing some Googles, I finally came across the page that had the information I needed. It can be found here . Basically what I had to do was make Apache listen for port 8080 and then make the proceeding virtual hosts listen on that port. This opened localhost back up to what it was while also allowing me to use the addy bar for sub-domains. I'm a happy camper.

Fixed was numerous problems, mainly hostname on server, and firewall

Max, I do something similar but my client asked for the Excel spreadsheet (for sign-ups). I created a db table for the signups and built a simple page (using a phpclasses.org "Excel Writer" class) generate the spreadsheet on request. It would be a simple matter to have the DB delete the records once the spreadsheet has been created (I retain the DB so the spreadsheet builds for the event then is never written to again - the...

DK thanks for your response. I'm looking for a database service that is graphical that the client can do everything on their own - once I do the setup. It's a small business and none of the people there have the tech skills needed to do more than download a spread sheet. I've dealt with this before and found it better to setup a simple pay service that will manage upgrades, database management. Something like "Constant...

Great information, thanks! I guess I've just not been sure where to start... a php expert to optimize my scripts, a MySQL expert to optimize my DC, a Linux / Apache expert to optimize my server? It is sounding like I need a total master of LAMP that can do all of the above. Are there any tests, qualifications, experience, etc. that I should be looking for? I mean, since I don't know enough about LAMP, I wouldn't know if someone...

Are you behind a router? If so, you'll need to enable forwarding on port 80 to the local server. If you're not behind a router, it should work fine. Just make sure that the httpd service is actually enabled.

There are a bunch of good reasons to use multiple host names. From the browser's perspective, having multiple hosts allows for more simultaneous connections, oftentimes dramatically enhancing download speed from the user's perspective. From the application's standpoint it allows one to split resources behind focused facades. From the server manager's perspective, it allows one to split content amongst appropriate resources...

Thanks for your professional opinion and for the compliment too! I promise I will work on my accent! Attached hereby the screenshot of the DNS record at my VPS account (I just duplicated the previous one, with the changed domain names of course). There are the dots at the end of the name servers which I was talking about. I changed the records at my registrar now to ns1.vpslink.com WITHOUT the dots and will wait 24-72 hours to see the...

You need to set up a virtual domain for your wamp server that redirects the domains to the correct folders. The hosts file is directling the domains to the correct server, you just don't have the entries set up within the server to say what folder each is in.
