I've been tasked with setting up a web page running a database in the background which allows my department to log certain activites.
Having no prior experience with creating / setting up a webserver, I'm in a bit of a dark hole - So I have a couple of questions. Any guidance / feedback would be gratefully appreticated.
- I've set up a partition on a drive to store the web files.
First question would be - is this bad practise? Should the web files be on a different drive completely?
The web page won't have a huge amount of activity, so it shouldn't effect the over performance of the other paritions.
- Once installed (Perhaps i'm jumping the gun!), how would I access the site.
I'm used to using XAMPP - so to access the site would be to simply enter 'localhost'. I assume i'd need to enter the IP address of the drive? That brings me to my next point - as there are several partitions on the drive, how would I direct it to that specific partition?
Apologies for the lengthy and perhaps stupid questions. This is all new to me.
