Thanks to all who replied! I was happily suprised how many people
had this info judging from the postings to the list I've seen.
So here is is:
Several people pointed to a new O'Reilly book, "Managing Internet
Informations Services" as a very good reference.
Alexander L. Haiut had these places to find info. They are:
1. NCSA http daemon - installation instructions at URL
http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/docs/setup
2. CERN http daemon - instalation instruction at URL
http://info.cern.ch/
3. FAQ available as usual, somewhere at rtfm.mit.edu, or
ftp://nic.switch.com/pub/WWW/
I put my copy of WWW faq at ftp://ftp.cs.bgu.ac.il/pub/faq.
Robert Wolf had the step by step instructions to configure a server! This
is the attachment you see. This is my lucky day, Robert!
Jeff Cummings also points to places for the following information:
you can access the WWW FAQ at ftp.netcom.com in /pub/bo/boutell/faq/www_faq.html
You can find the binary (httpd), configuration and suport files, and a README
at;
ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu in the file
/Web/httpd/Unix/ncsa_httpd/httpd_1.3/httpd_sun4.tar.Z
Install documentation in HTML & PS is in the file
/Web/httpd/Unix/ncsa_httpd/httpd_1.3/httpd_docs.tar.Z
I am assuming you already have a WWW browser, If not
ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu
/Mosaic/UNIX/binaries/2.4/Mosaic-sun.gz
Thomas A. Plesha points to a doc to help with security:
Be sure to get "CIAC Document 2308, Securing Internet Information Servers"
from ciac.llnl.gov/pub/ciac/ciacdosc.
Dave Fetrow also point to:
http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/SDG/Software/Mosaic/StartingPoints/NetworkStartingPoints.html
Claude Charest pointed to info on SUNSITE.
Here is the www.faq in text. it is available at:
"http://sunsite.unc.edu/boutell/faq/www_faq.html"
R Miller also points to:
http://www.cc.gatech.edu/cns/handbook/
Rich Snyder ( nearly a neighbor!) points to:
http://www.charm.net/~web/Vlib
http://netspace.org/netspace/wwwdoc.html
http://oneworld.wa.com/htmldev/devpage/dev-page.html
