need help with apache.

[airbornflght]

ok, ive read and re-read the apache manual, and som faqs and walkthroughs. and i have no-ip's DUC set up and connected.

i have no ip set up to rediect www.enidpb.redirectme.net to 68.229.210.190 on port 8080.

I have apache set up to listen on port 8080.

but where do you tell apache where the index file is. and how do you get it started? I cant figure it out.

i really need some help. im trying to get this figured out so that i can set up a server at my friends house after i get mine running.

here is the website that i went to second to try and figure it out link (http://www.ricocheting.com/server/apache.html)

its a tad bit shadowy. ive never used apache before, is there no gui aside from the system tray monitor. it says no services installed. is this pertaing to mysql and php?

i set the domain as redirectme.net and the name as www.enidpb.redirectme.net is this right?

I've never used Apache, but in the meanwhile you could try Abyss (http://www.aprelium.com/).

Read the guide you linked and I believe what you want is #5.
Making Apache point to your files
Using Notepad open E:\Apache2\conf\httpd.conf (in the start-menu there should also be a "Edit the Apache HTTP Server httpd.conf Configuration File" shortcut) and search for DocumentRoot. Change it from something like DocumentRoot "E:/Apache2" to the location where your HTML files and site are located. In my case: DocumentRoot "E:/public_html"
