I recently purchased a virtual server from Hetzner.de, and am trying to use it to upload my PHP & MySQL-site to. I've managed to make a database and upload my files to httpdocs, but I'd like to make sure everything is working before I point my domain name to it. I can't seem to access the files by typing the IP-address /index.php, and can't figure out another option. Does anyone know how to do this?
Also, does anyone happen to know a nice starter guide for Plesk?
Kind regards,
Ron
You should be able to access it through http://ipaddress/index.php if the server is running. You can point your domain name just to check, It wont take more than a day for it, in worst case just two days. Have you tried reaching the service provider? You can find various tutorials on youtube for introduction to plesk.

I really hope someone can help me with this since I've been struggling for days without luck.
I'm kind of new to web development and I've been doing tutorials. I already created my portfolio website and I hosted it on GitHub pages. I liked it and I decided to give it a custom domain name. I bought my domain through GoDaddy.com and I couldn't be able to correctly point it to my website hosted on GitHub Pages.
I tried different tutorials, these include this, this, this and this. None of them works for me. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or if there is something outdated in those tutorials but this is getting maddening.
To sum up,
I go to DNS management of my domain at GoDaddy.com.
Changed in the records tab all the A-type to the GitHub IP values (185.199.108.153, 185.199.109.153, 185.199.110.153, 185.199.111.153) and the CNAME type to my [username]github.io website value.
Added CNAME file to my repository
Added my custom domain in portfolio>settings>github pages
Not sure where is my error and if someone can help me with this I will really appreciate it. If you need more details let me know.
Thank you in advance!
Welcome to the webdev world!
When did you actually register and redirect the domain? I've had multiple issues on several occasions which was resolved by just waiting.
Usually your ISP or just generally something you don't have control of does cache some stuff so you might need some time for it to pass in order to function properly.
How do i actually start making a website? Every time I think of making a website I stuck as from where should I start?Where to start writing a code?How to make it interactive? Hoping to get the answer that help me.
I have tried in the past but I really want to make a website of my own as I am looking to start my online company.
Use wordpress. It is content management system with milions of themes and plugins to do whatever you want for your own web site.
I'm trying to learn a few things about SharePoint and I would like to figure out what do I have to do to make my content available online so I can access it from my other computer in my work / home so I can add documents to it.
I did some research on how to set up websites on IIS and setting up my DNS host on Windows Server 2012 with some demo html files I've made. I tried to do research online with port forwarding but I can't find info clear enough for me to get the job done.
Could somebody maybe give me some direction on where to look and a checklist on what I need to complete this task? I feel like I'm shooting in the air trying to figure this out. I've never really dabbled in this before.
Here are some resources you might find useful in getting this setup. It's difficult to say exactly what you need to do without knowing what it is you've already done.
I haven't watched through the channel9 video but according to the description it includes how to setup internet facing sites in an on-premise environment.
Providing SharePoint is up and running, it should just be a case of configuring the Alternate Access Mappings for internet access, DNS and Port Forwarding.

The final guide to Alternate Access Mappings
I'm still kind of new in programming and I'm not quite sure that this is the place to ask this question, but I can't find anything worthy on the Internet. Sorry on first place but I'm truly lost. All I can find is "just use wordpress" and things like that.
I'm trying to make a website from zero with HTML and CSS, and there I would have the front end. I know a little bit of backend but I'm still learning. The real question is: how do you mesh up all of this and put it on the Internet so others can see it? I know you have to buy a domain and so, but how do you put it all together? What do you exactly do with your server-side code if what you "upload" is the HTML code? Are there any good books on the subject or something so I can study it on my own?
Thanks in advance.
Read about web frameworks like Spring in Java or Django in Python. Start with a lecture of these to grasp a notion of backend and frontend working together:

EDIT
And don't forget to read about the MVC pattern.
If all you want to know is how to publish an html/css project to make your website live then you need a domain, hosting account, your project files, and an FTP program.
Buy a domain and hosting account through a website like godaddy. Once you have that then you basically have your own little server. A server is just a machine thats on 24/7 which holds your project and makes the files live on the internet for people to view.
Once you create your project, then use ftp software such as filezilla to connect to your server. Drag your project into the public_html folder and your website will be live!
I think the word you are looking for is "web server." Examples of web servers are Apache, nginx, and IIS. A web server is a computer program.
A simple web server is sometimes called a "static web server."
To see a bit how this works, you can install a static web server like http-server on your computer (which requires Node.js to run), point it at a directory, and browse the site on your own PC.
So if you have a folder called "my-site" and a file in it called "index.html" and you ran the http-server in the my-site folder, and you went to http://localhost:8080, you would see "index.html" in your browser.
To put all this on the internet:
First, if you have an internet connection at home then you could technically set something up on your laptop that people could connect to. I won't get into it here because it's a little involved, but I think it's important conceptually to understand that you could do it if you wanted to.
You need to get access to a web server. A relatively fast way to set this up would be with zeit.
One of my client has purchased server from yahoo hosting services for a year. I've made a website for him an downloaded a chatting script which i have to integrate into it.
On my chatting script it has more than one .htacccess files and as you already know that yahoo hosting does not allowed any file starting from . so does anyone knows about an alternative way of using .htaccess in yahoo hosting servers.
If they will not let you create the file, then no, there is no way to create the file.
Next time, pick hosting services that aren't from a giant faceless conglomerate and that expressly state that they support the thing that you are trying to do.
