Build a simple website by yourself

I am going to build my own website , On the one hand, it is to understand the knowledge of building the station , Another aspect is to test Http Request related content .

Site information

The following is the information needed to build the station :

1. service device ： That is, a more advanced computer , It is mainly used to store web data ;
2. web The server ： It's a software , Commonly used Apache and Nginx;
3. Web program ： Is the content displayed on the website , You need to write it yourself ;

Station building steps

Here are the specific implementation steps , Please refer to ：

1. stay Win7 Install a virtual machine on , I installed VirtualBox; Then create a virtual machine to act as a server ;
2. Install... In a virtual machine Linux System , I installed yes Mint, If there is one that will not be installed , You can see my previous Blog ;
3. stay Linunx Installation in system Web The server , I installed Nginx, Simplicity , I use the command directly to install , As follows ：

sudo apt install nginx-full

Demo site

here , A simple website has been created , Next, verify that the website you created is available . Start by opening Mint Browser in （ The default is Firefox), Type in the browser's address bar localhost( perhaps 127.0.0.1), A web page will be displayed , The details are shown in the following figure ：

This is a Nginx Server default web page , If this page cannot be displayed , explain Nginx Installation failed . install Nginx You can also compile the source code to install , The advantage is that various requirements can be configured , The disadvantage is that the installation time is long and relatively complex .

Except on this machine ( Servers in virtual machines ) Go outside the website , You can also do it in Win7（ host ） Visit the website on , Start by opening Win7 Browser in , Then enter the virtual machine in the browser IP Address , The page in the picture above... Will be displayed . This access method is similar to the real scene ： The server in the virtual machine is equivalent to the server in the real scene ,Win7 It is equivalent to the computer we use everyday .

When using this method, you also need to set the network of the virtual machine , Otherwise, you can't be in Win7( host ) Access the server on the Internet ( In the virtual machine Nginx The server ), The specific settings are as follows ：
Open the setting menu of the virtual machine , Select the network , Select the network card in the pop-up window 2, Set it to Host-Only The Internet , The details are shown in the following figure ：

A simple website is built in this way , I hope everyone can practice by themselves , In this way, we can master the principle behind it .

Station building principle

In the actual project , The same principle applies to building websites , But the server is a real computer, not a virtual machine , The operating system running on the server may be Linux perhaps Windows Server. Running on the server Web The server might be Apache perhaps Nginx. What we use for simplicity is Nginx default Web page , You need to create your own in the actual scene Web page , This is what we usually call the front end . The server we use to access the network IP Address , It is not allowed in the actual scene , So we need to pass DNS Server handle IP Address to domain name address , That is what we often use www.xxx.com. We are just demonstrating how to create a simple web site , So it's not used DNS Server resolves domain name .
