Well, there you have it! We have gone through the entire process of setting up a web server. Remember the problems we set out to solve?

1. Web Space
Now that your home PC is a server, you have all the space in the world!

2. Free Domain Names
Thanks to No-IP, you didn’t pay a cent to get your name on the net

3. Web Hosting Basics
If you keep playing around with the settings on Abyss, you will know it inside and out in a matter of minutes.

This article takes into consideration that you are already running ads on eBay in which you can get your HTML from, or are experienced with HTML. For this reason, we will not go too in depth on how to build a complicated web page, but guide you through getting your first simple web page completed and showing to the public. I do, however, provide some links to some excellent resources.

CoffeeCup HTML

First, you are going to need an HTML editor of some kind. If you don’t have one, we have provided a link below to a program called CoffeeCup HTML. Click on the link and install the software. You will need to find the “Download Now” link next to “The HTML Editor” title.

www.articleautomate.com/coffeecup

Once you have installed your CoffeeCup, run it. A screen similar to this will open:

We will quickly go over how you can make your home page:

1. Click “File,” then “New”.
2. Select “Blank HTML File,” and click “Open”.
3. Between the “

” and “” tags, type, “Hi! Welcome to my web site!”.
4. Click “File,” then “Save As”.
5. Navigate to “c:article”.
6. Type “index.html” in the “File Name” textbox, the click “Save”.

Note: You will lose the existing “index.html” file unless you rename it.

7. Overwrite any existing date in this directory.
8. Open up you web browser and enter your “yourname.no-ip.com” address in to the address bar.

What just happened? Lets hope you get your new welcome page. It would seem that you have just completed setting up your web server and creating its default page. Now all you have to do is place your article in its appropriate directory, in this case the “Widgets” directory, and create a link to it in your home page.

HTML Resources

I’m sure you will need some help developing the rest of your website, so I have given you some resources to do just that. You can check out the following resources below:

You don’t need to set up a web server in order to automate the delivery of your information products. This section is for people who don’t want to pay a cent for hosting their downloadable information products and web sites. Hosting your own web pages gives you much more hard drive space and easier control of your HTML documents. This section will also go over typical issues when setting up a web server and a solution for each issue.

Internet Service Providers (ISP’s)

Here is a little information on most Internet Service Providers (ISP’s). If you’re on a basic ADSL or Cable package, then chances are you have some restrictions on your Internet account. Common limitations are certain port blockages, and IP address assignment process. First, let’s look at ports.

Ports

Ports are used for communication on the Internet. There are a lot of them, and knowing what they all do is not important for this document. What is important is that your ISP may be blocking you from accepting requests on port 80, which is the HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) port. HTTP allows you to surf the Internet. If you look at the address bar on your browser, you will always see “HTTP”. This means that you can access the Internet on an outgoing basis, but you can’t accept incoming HTTP connections. Why? Think of your ISP as doing you a favor. By blocking port 80, they are eliminating the chance of your computer from ACCEPTING viruses, spyware, and all sorts of other malicious activity. The problem is, this also blocks your ability of accepting other HTTP (port 80) requests, therefore preventing you from being a web server. To find out if your port 80 is blocked, you will either have to go to your ISP’s web site and find your license agreement, or call their technical support line and ask. Either way, this problem is easily solved in the next few pages. We will now move on to the next issue, IP Address Assignment.

IP Address Assignment

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique identifier that gives your computer a “home” on the World Wide Web. Most basic Internet packages, including all dial-up connections, work on a dynamic IP address assignment process. The problem this causes is that if your IP address is always changing, how is anyone supposed to find your “home”? It would be like you lived in your house for 5 hours, and then left. Even your trusty mailman would get confused! One solution is to call your ISP and get your Internet package upgraded to a business plan, which will change your IP from dynamic to static, but at an extra cost. The other is to use a great free tool that we will explain in the next section.

To find out your IP address, click “Start”, then Run, type “Command”, click “OK”. When the black window, known as the “Command” window opens, type “ipconfig /all”. This will yield your current IP configuration. If you see a line that says “Lease Expires”, and it’s soon, then you definitely have a dynamic IP. Don’t worry if it expires soon, you’ll get a new one as soon as it does. You will also notice a 4-octet number, seperated by 3 periods next to its appropriate description, “IP Address”. This is your IP address.

No-IP.com

Who is No-IP?

These guys are great!

Before we get into it, lets define what a domain name is. A domain name is a alphanumeric representation of your IP address. In other words, any “www” name you enter into your address bar actually reflects an IP address. If you open up your command window again and type “ping www.articleautomate.com”, you will notice there is an IP
address in square brackets next to my domain name in the results.

Now, let’s move on.

First, No-IP will give you a web name and you don’t even have to pay for it! That means you don’t have to purchase a domain name. Any “www” address you see in your address bar is a domain name. When you use No-IP.com, you will receive a domain name that looks like www.yourname.no-ip.com. Notice the “no-IP” part. Since No-IP.com is a free service, they add that to your “www” name. This is fine because the purpose of your site is to serve your articles to your customers through your eBay and Paypal “Instant Purchase” sales, although you can also serve web pages. Your domain name also remains easy to remember.

Second, your dynamic IP address issue simply disappears. No-IP.com has developed a free piece of software that you download from them and install on your PC. What it does is monitor your IP address, and when your IP changes, it tells the No- IP.com server, which updates your “www” name to reflect your new IP address.

No-IP.com Registration

Now that you understand what No-IP is, you are ready to go out and get registered. Click the link below, find their “Sign-up Free” link, and fill in the blanks.

www.articleautomate.com/no-ip

Once you have fully registered, you will receive a confirmation email. Follow the directions on the email. Next, log into your No-IP.com account, and click on the “Add” link under the “Hosts/Redirects” header.

The “Hostname” textbox is where you will enter your “www” name, and the dropdown is the No-IP.com extension of your choice.

If your ISP does not block port 80 then you don’t need to do any port redirecting. Just click the “Create Host” button at the bottom of the page.

If your ISP does block port 80 then click on the “Port 80 Redirect”. A new page will load, but will look almost the same. For the “Port”, enter 8000. Click the “Create Port Redirect” at the bottom of the page.

Registration is complete – on to the software!

Click on the “Downloads” tab at the top and then click “Windows” on the left column. Click on the No-IP DUC v x.x.x link. (x.x.x because the version is always changing)

Follow the wizard to install the program. Once installation is complete, you will be prompted for the email address and password you entered during registration. After entering this, the console will open. Turn to the next page to see what your console will look like.

Notice the smiley face. That means the No-IP.com server has been updated with your current IP address.

Now that you have your domain name set up, you have to start hosting your pages! The next section will introduce you to an excellent program called Abyss Web Server by Aprelium.

Abyss Web Server

What is Abyss?

Simply put, Abyss is a free personal web server for Windows, MacOS X, Linux, and FreeBSD. Abyss is just a web server, and does not allow for any FTP protocol. You can access your console remotely to update directory and user settings, but you can’t upload any files unless you are at the computer running the web server.

Installation

Click on the following link:
www.articleautomate.com\abyss

Find the “Download” link under the “Software Resources” header near the bottom of the page. Click on the “Download Abyss Web Server X1 for Windows” link and install the software.

Once the installation is complete, you will be asked for a username and a password. This identifier will then be your login to your web server. You will also see the Abyss icon in your system tray. After entering your login info, you will be prompted again for a username and password. You will always be prompted for your login information with this screen whenever you start your console.

You should get a console that looks something like this:

Do not change the “Server Root”. This is where your web server runs.

Change your “Documents Path” to the path you wish to host your pages from. For this book, I will use “c:\article”.

If your “Port” isn’t already set to 8000, do that now.

Any changes that you make will require a server restart, which is nothing more than clicking a button when you are prompted.

If you ever need to access your console again, right click on the Abyss icon in the system tray, and select “Show Console”. Please take into consideration that we have only skimmed the surface with Abyss Web Server and that there is much more to learn about it, such as setting up directory and user permissions, and your access statistics.

We will now move on to a “suggested” method of setting up your web server directory.

Directory Structure

Before you start creating HTML and putting your article online, you may want to look at how you want your web server’s file system to be set up. I have found that it is easier to maintain when you have the following setup: For this example, I have set my “Documents Path” to c:\article. To create a directory, read “Directory Creation”.

Take a look at the image below:

You will notice that we are in the article directory, and there is an index.htm file. This file will be your website’s home page. Next, you will see an images folder and a widgets folder. You will store all of your website’s images in the image folder. The widgets folder will contain another “index.html” file, which will contain the download link to your article.

Directory Creation

To create your “article” directory:

1. Right-Click the “Start” menu.
2. Click on “Explore”.
3. Navigate through the tree until you find “C:” and click on it.
4. In the right window pane, right-click on some white-space, and select “New”, then “Folder”.
5. Name your folder “article”.

Follow this process to create your “images” and “widgets” directory. We will look at creating your “index.html” file in Section 4 or this article.

Test Your Server

Next, test your server. Run the “ipconfig” command, and write down your IP address. Open a new web browser and in the address bar type: yo.ur.ip.addy:8000/

If you get the Paypal button you created and tested earlier, you have correctly installed Abyss. Notice the “8000”. This directs the website to your port 8000. If you decide to run your server on a different port, you will need to change this figure to be the same.

Now try your No-IP domain name “http://yourname.no-ip.com”. Notice that your address bar changes to your IP address?

If you don’t want the address to change to your IP, then you will have to log into your No-IP account and edit your Host settings from “Port 80 Redirect” to “DNS Host,” but the difference will be that your domain will look like www.yourname.no-ip.com:8000.

Troubleshooting

If you experience problems, such as “error 404 - Page cannot be found”, then try some of these suggestions:

1. Make sure there is an “index.html” file in your “c:\article” directory.
2. Make sure your “Documents Path” is set to “c:\article”
3. Make sure you see the following icons in your system tray (bottom right):
4. Make sure your web address DOES NOT contain a “WWW” in it. It should follow this exact protocol: yourname.no-ip.com.

If all none of these suggesstions work, the following link:

Our Case Study

Let’s set up a scenario. Say you have an article you want to sell on how to make a widget. You are going to need to find a way to market and deliver your product to your customer, give them a spot to download it from, and host the web pages associated with selling your product. Typically, this would mean that you would have to go out and purchase a domain name, buy some server space to host your pages from, and then purchase an auto-responder program that will deliver your product to your customer. As you can see, this can seem quite overwhelming. Where do you start? How much will it cost? Well, the good news is that there is no cost associated with any of this.

There are several occasions where you will be at a public terminal and need to bypass web filters, and require access to a particular website that is blocked for some reason or anoder. How to bypass dese restrictions is a very common question, and will be covered here.

Lets pretend for a moment that de Internet is made up of 26 websites, A-Z. The web filter blocks your browser from accessin’ sites X-Z, but not sites A-W. Simply make de browser think you’re goin’ to A- W. There are a variety of ways to do this:

Proxy Servers:
This is a list of http proxies. These sites may not be up forever, so you may need to search for “free http proxy” or “public proxy servers” or oder similar terms.

Proxy server lists:
www.aliveproxy.com
www.multiproxy.org
www.publicproxyservers.com/index.html
www.tehbox.com/proxy
www.proxz.com
www.proxy4free.com/index.html
free-proxies.com

Now that you have a list of proxies, you would open IE (internet explorer) and click on Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settin’s > Advanced. Enter de address and port of one of de servers from de list in de proper area (http) and make sure de “use a proxy server for your LAN” option is selected. Remember to replace de proxy and port at your terminal to de original when you’re done.

Note: Some proxies listed may not work, and this method may decrease your surfin’ speed. By tryin’ various entries, you’ll find one that works, or works faster.

The infamous translation trick:
Go to a web page translation site and use deir services to “translate a page to En’lish” thus accessin’ de blocked page through deir trusted site.

You’ll notice that several translation sites are blocked, but by usin’ less popular ones, this method can still be effective. Here is a list of some translation services. Again, dese sites may not be up forever, so you may need to search for them.

babelfish.altavista.com
world.altavista.com
translation.langenberg.com
freetranslation.com/web.thm

Url Scriptin’:
Url scriptin’ is de easiest method. It works on a select few web filters and is based on de same principal as de translation trick. By typin’ and address like “www.yahoo.com@www.restricted_site.com de filter will not go into effect as it recognizes de trusted site (in this case yahoo.com)

Oder tricks:
Simply open de command prompt and type:
Pin’ restricted.com, restricted.com obviously bein’ de restricted site. At this point you can take down de IP address (ex. 216.109.124.73) and enter it into de browser. If access to de command prompt is also restricted, see “How to bypass restrictions to get to de command prompt.” If this article has been taken from information leak, den know that it involves anythin’ from openin’ de browser, selectin’ view > source, den savin’ it as X.bat and openin’ it to openin’ a folder or browser and typin’ in de location of cmd.exe dependin’ on de OS. I will not go into furder, as this a completely different topic.

Use restrictedsite.com as referrin’ to it as a secured site may confuse de filter.

Note: These are ancient methods that many new filters defend against, but still may be applicable in your situation. If not, a little history never hurt anyone.

Web based Proxies:
Anoder one of de easier, yet effective methods include web based proxies. These are simple in de fact that you just enter de restricted address and surf! Some of dese have some restrictions, like daily usage limits, etc but you can also use anoder proxy (perhaps one that sucks, like a text only) to bypass deir restrictions as well. Here is a list of some:

proxify.com
www.anonymizer.com/index.cgi
www.guardster.com/
anonymouse.ws/anonwww.html
www.de-cloak.com/login.html
www.megaproxy.com/freesurf
www.anonymizer.ru
nadaily.com/cgi-bin/nph-proxyb.cgi
www.userbeam.de/cgi-bin/nph-userbeam.cgi
www.free2.surffreedom.com/nph-free.cgi

Proxy Programs:
There are many proxy programs that allow you to surf anonymously that are more or less based on de same topics we’ve covered here. I’ve added them just to cover de topic thoroughly:

www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/28480.html
www.inetprivacy.com/a4proxy/anonymous-grc.htm
www.oran\’atan\’o.com/home/index.ie.html
www.steganos.com
www.anonymization.net toolbar that requires admin rights to install

Makin’ your own CGI proxy server:
Makin’ your own proxy server may come in handy, but I personally find that simply uploadin’ a txt file with a list of proxies to a free host makes for a much easier and headache free solution. If you don’t know PERL, dere is code out dere to help you set it up. Check out dese sites for more info:

httpbridge.sourceforge.net
www.jmarshall.com/tools/cgiproxy
www.manageability.org/blog/stuff/open-source-personal-proxy-servers-written-in-java/view

Admin Access:
When all else fails, you can simply take over de PC and alter or delete de filter. This method varies accordin’ to de OS (operatin’ system) you are dealin’ with. Please see “Hackin’ Windows NT” for more information. If this tutorial has been taken from information leak, den I will go as far as to say it involves bootin’ de PC in anoder OS, copyin’ de SAM file and crackin’ it usin’ a program like saminside or LC5 rader than start a whole new topic within one.

So much information is on de web, its mind bogglin’. Thankfully we have search en’ines to sift through them and catagorize them for us. Unfortunatly, dere is still so much info that even with dese search en’ines, its often a painstakin’ly slow process (somethin’ comparable to death for a hacker) to find exactly what you’re lookin’ for.

Lets get right into it.

I use google.com as my primary search en’ine because it presently tops de charts as far as de sites that it indexes which means more pertinent info per search.

1. Page translation.

Just because someone speaks anoder lan’uage doesn’t mean dey dont have anythin’ useful to say. I use translation tools like de ones found at

babelfish.altavista.com

and

world.altavista.com

to translate a few key words I am searchin’ for. Be specific and creative because dese tools arent de most accurate thin’s on de planet.

2. Directories.

These days everythin’ is about money. We have to deal with SEO (search en’ine optimization) which seems like a good idea on paper until you do a search for toys and get 5 pornsites in de first 10 results. Usin’ a sites directory will eliminate that. You can narrow your search down easily by lookin’ for de info in specific catagories. (PS google DOES have directories, dey’re at: directory.google.com)

3. Here are some tips that google refers to as “advanced”

A. “xxxx” / will look for de exact phrase. (google isnt case sensitive)
B. -x / will search for somethin’ excludin’ a certain term
C. filetype:xxx / searches for a particular file extention (exe, mp3, etc)
D. -filetype:xxx / excludes a particular file extention
E. allinurl:x / term in de url
F. allintext:x / terms in de text of de page
G. allintitle:x / terms in de html title of that page
H. allinanchor:x / terms in de links

4. OR

Self explanatory, one or de oder… (ie: binder OR joiner)

5. ~X

Synonyms/similar terms (in case you can’t think of any yourself)

6. Numbers in a range.

Lets say you’re lookin’ for an mp3 player but only want to spend up to $90. Why swim through all de oders? MP3 player $0..$90 The 2 periods will set a numeric range to search between. This also works with dates, weights, etc

7. +

Ever type in a search and see somethin’ like this:
“The followin’ words are very common and were not included in your search:”

Well, what if those common words are important in your search? You can force google to search through even de common terms by puttin’ a + in front of de denied word.

8. Preferences

It amazes me when I use oder peoples PCs that dey dont have deir google search preferences saved. When you use google as much as I do, who can afford to not have preferences? They’re located on de right of de search box, and have several options, though I only find 2 applicable for myself.

A. Open results in new browser
B. Display 10-100 results per page. (I currently use 50 per page, but thats a resolution preference, and 5X’s de default)

9. *

Wildcard searches. Great when applied to a previously mentioned method. If you only know de name of a prog, or are lookin’ for ALL of a particular file (ie. you’re DLin’ tunes) somethin’ like *.mp3 would list every mp3.

10. Ever see this?

“In order to show you de most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to de X already displayed. If you like, you can repeat de search with de omitted results included.” The answer is YES. yes yes yes. Did I mention yes? I meant to.

11. Search EVERYWHERE

Use de en’ine to its fullest. If you dont find your answer in de web section, try de group section. Hell, try a whole different search en’ine. Dont limit yourself, because sometimes en’ines seem to intentionally leave results out.

ex. use google, yahoo, and altavista. search de same terms… pretty close, right? Now search for disney death. Funny, altavista has plenty of disney, but no death…hmmm.

If you’ve read this far into this tutorial without sayin’, “Great, a guy that copied a few google help pages and thinks its useful info” den I will show you WHY (besides accuracy, speed, and consistancy findin’ info on ANYTHING) its nice to know how a search en’ine works. You combine it/w your knowledge of oder protocol.

Example:
Want free music? Free games? Free software? Free movies? God bless FTP! Try this search:

intitle:”Index of music” “rollin’ stones” mp3

Substitute rollin’ stones/w your favorite band. No? Try de son’ name, or anoder file format. Play with it. Assumin’ SOMEONE made an FTP and uploaded it, you’ll find it.

For example….I wanted to find some Sepultura. If you never heard them before, dey’re a Brazilian heavy metal band that kicks ass. I started with this:

intitle:”Index of music” “Sepultura” mp3 < — nothin’
intitle:”Index of música” “Sepultura” mp3 <– nothin’
intitle:”Index of musica” “Sepultura” mp3 <– not good enough
intitle:”Index of music” “Sepultura” * <– found great stuff, but not enough Sepultura

At this point it occurs to me that I may be missin’ somethin’, so I try:

intitle:”index of *” “sepultura” mp3 <– BANG!
(and thats without searchin’ for spellin’ errors)

Also try inurl:ftp

I find that * works better for me than tryin’ to guess oder peoples mis-spellin’s.

The same method applies for ebooks, games, movies, SW, anythin’ that may be on an FTP site.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, and I saw that recently a book and an article was written on de very same topic. I havn’t read them as of yet, but check em out, and get back to me if you feel I missed somethin’ important and should include anythin’ else.

Ps. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again… BE CREATIVE.

You’ll be surprised what you can find.

Most programs run properly on Windows XP. The exceptions are some older games and oder programs that were written specifically for an earlier version of Windows. To run your program on Windows XP, you can try de followin’, Run de Program Compatibility Wizard. As an alternative, you can set de compatibility properties manually. Update your program, drivers, or hardware. These options are covered in detail below.

The Program Compatibility Wizard
This wizard prompts you to test your program in different modes (environments) and with various settin’s. For example, if de program was originally designed to run on Windows 95, set de compatibility mode to Windows 95 and try runnin’ your program again. If successful, de program will start in that mode each time. The wizard also allows you to try different settin’s, such as switchin’ de display to 256 colors and de screen resolution to 640 x 480 pixels. If compatibility problems prevent you from installin’ a program on Windows XP, run de Program Compatibility Wizard on de setup file for de program. The file may be called Setup.exe or somethin’ similar, and is probably located on de Installation disc for de program. To run de Program Compatibility Wizard click Start, click Help and Support, click Find compatible hardware and software for Windows XP, and den, under See Also in de navigation pane, click “Program Compatibility Wizard.”

Set de compatibility properties manually
As an alternative to runnin’ de Program Compatibility Wizard, you can set de compatibility properties for a program manually. The settin’s are de same as de options in de Program Compatibility Wizard. To set de compatibility properties for a program manually Right-click de program icon on your desktop or de shortcut on de Start menu for de program you want to run, and den click Properties. Click de Compatibility tab, and change de compatibility settin’s for your program.

The Compatibility tab is only available for programs installed on your hard drive. Although you can run de Program Compatibility Wizard on programs or setup files on a CD-ROM or floppy disk, your changes will not remain in effect after you close de program. For more information about an option on de Compatibility tab, right-click de option and den click “What’s This.”

Update your program or drivers
If your program does not run correctly after testin’ it with de Program Compatibility Wizard, check de Web for updates or oder fixes, as follows:

Check de Web site of de program’s manufacturer to see if an update or patch is available.
Check Windows Update to see if a fix is available for de program.
Click Home on de menu bar of Help and Support Center, den click Windows Update in de right pane.

If de program is a game that uses DirectX, ensure that you are usin’ de latest version of DirectX. In addition, check de Web site of de manufacturer of your video card or sound card to see if newer drivers are available for eider of them.
