iPod web development.

[Winning]

Ok so I have MySQL, php, and lighttpd all installed and I checked them all going to 127.0.0.1 and found they were all working and that php was working..... But what now, I can make a HTML script but how can I use them to make a web server?

[A3MIRAL]

You already have a webserver, that's lighttpd.

You could try making a PHP page? Use the functions designed for database interaction for MySQL.

Did you mean website instead of webserver? In which case people can't answer that question, because that's the whole point of PHP..

Yah I know how to do that but then can I host that from lighttpd so anyone can view it or no?

[A3MIRAL]

Anyone? You'd need a static IP, your iPod would have to be always on and connected, and you'd have to buy a domain...
Not to mention an iPod is a terrible server to host a website on.

Then what are the benifits of using lighttpd?

[A3MIRAL]

I don't think you know what you're talking about.
Lighttpd on your iPod will allow you to develop on your own webserver, locally, not using the iFile web viewer. Aka, you can see how your pages render in safari. Also, you can use your local IP to view the website from other computers on your network. Aka 192.168.1.* usually.

Ohhhhhhhh this makes more sense now.
