Hello,
I am new using SUSE and have one application running. I would like to put the school’s new web site that I have runing on localhost on the SUSE box and would appreciate suggestions esp the broad steps involved.
Do I install separately Apache, PhP, filezilla, etc. or just install XAMPP?
What is the best way to keep the web site updated–ftp or some other way? Teachers want to make routine changes so I have to figure out a procedure.
What is the best way to tie down security besides having good passwords on all Usernames? (I have a 3COM device that I can allow services to specific IP’s and define firewall rules. But most incoming would be port 80 which I cannot block.)

welcome, but your post is a little bit confusing…i think you are
probably running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) version 10 SP4
(though i don’t know for sure if there is an SP4, or not)…
but, you are in the openSUSE forum, and there has never been an
openSUSE 10.4 (the last in that series was 10.3 and it has been
unsupported since October 2009)
so, first we need to learn exactly what you have installed…which we
can do you if you type this into a command line:
cat /etc/SuSE-release
do that, and if it is a version of openSUSE prior to 11.1 you need to
install any of the currently supported versions (11.1, 11.2 or 11.3)
if it is any version of SUSE Linux Enterprise your best advice will probably come from the folks over at forums.novell.com–in fact,
since SLES is a commercial product you may have already purchased
support over there…
that said, though most folks here have little or no experience with
SLES there are some simularities and most real gurus can help
you…so, you are welcome to hang out and see what they say…
(i can’t answer your question because i never heard of XAMPP and i do
not see it listed as a package ready for install from the openSUSE
repos…maybe ‘XAMPP’ is a term familiar in other operating systems
or distros?)
DenverD’s Q’s are quite relevant, and while you’re answering those, this might be a useful read to get some background: Install Linux Apache Web Server into openSUSE. That works for the SLED versions of Suse too, so you could use it regardless of which Suse Linux you have.
