Hey guys,
Is apache all I need to do this? I dont want to create a full fledge website. I just need a place to store all my images to link to for my html auction descriptions. During Apache’s setup, it asks me for Network domain, server name, and admin’s email address, but I have no clue what to put in these fields.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx








Apache is the webserver program. So you will need to set it up. If you are setting it up on your computer, then you can put localhost and same for server name, admin’s email address you can just put yours, it doesn’t matter really, since you will be just hosting images anyway. After you setup apache, put all of you files in the htdocs folder found under apache directory in Program files.
In you ebay html file for all of the images just use
Example:
;
This should show up in your ebay auction, but you will need to test, test and test.
To get your computer ip address just go to: http://www.myipaddress.com and it will show you your public ip address.
One more issue here, if your ISP change your ip external IP address you will lose all of the images in your auctions.
The other thing is that your computer will also need to be on at all times. And make sure you have a pretty good bandwidth especially at the end of the auction. You don’t want it to crash
Thats all
