Hi all, In todays tutorial I’m going to show you guys how to setup a home web server using WAMP and DynDNS service.
OK, WAMP stands for Windows Apache MySQL and PHP. First of all you need to download WAMP server. To do this Google WAMP Server or head on to http://www.wampserver.com/en/ and download. Its about 16meg file. The latest version is 2.0i. The WAMP server is just for Windows OS and If you use Linux you need to use LAMP Server.
STEP1: Once you finish downloading the WAMP run the installer, WAMPs default directory is C:\wamp and its recommended not to change the path.
STEP 2: After Installation completes you will see a small icon like a speedometer click on the Icon and a menu pops up. You will see several options on the menu, but first of all we need to run the application so click on “Put Online”. Now all the services should up and running.
STEP 3: Now lets verify by opening our default web browser and type “Localhost” and enter. If everything is fine you must see WAMPs default homepage similar to the bellow image.
STEP 4:Now you can add your website files to the directory “C:\wamp\www“. Delete or rename the present index.php file and replace your files and test. If you can see your website when you type Localhost from the browser the first part is successfully done.
STEP 5: Check your IP address of the computer and type this address in browser, this should bring your website. Now you have to forward the port in your Internet / ADSL router to give access to your friends or the whole world to your personal website hosted on your personal computer. Access your router and forward the port 80 to your computer’s IP like below image:
Please note that, your router settings may be different from mine. So you are not sure how to forward port, please visit to http://portforward.com/ to see how to forward port in different types of routers.
STEP 6: One you are done with port forwarding, try to access your website by using the IP provided by ISP, to check your IP please visit http://www.whatismyip.com/.
STEP 7:So now almost done, but now you need some good name for your website. You canot blindly give your IP address to everyone right? So head-on to http://www.dyndns.com/ and create a account. Then go to this page:https://www.dyndns.com/account/services/hosts/add.html . Create a new unique name for your personal page (sub domain) with any one of the domain names listed. Keep the radio button selected for “Host with IP address”.

STEP 8:Below the IP Address text-box (3) you will see “Your current location’s IP address is XX.XX.XX.XX” This is your current IP address click on this and clik add to cart (dont worry its a free service) and follow the steps.
STEP 9:Assume that, your ISP provide you wilh the dynamic IP address which keep changing. So you need to update your IP with DynDNS when its been changed, so there is a application dynDNS designed for this, “DynDNS® Updater”. you can download this and let DynDNS know when ever your dynamic IP is changed. So your personal site will be online all the time.
Thats it….

Now you can download and try the new MS exchange server 2010 from MS website.
In this article I tried to show how to install the beta version of MS exchange 2010 in your testing environment.
First of all you must understand that, Exchange 2010 can only be installed in Windows Server 2008 SP2 x64 or Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 (Enterprise or Standard Edition) Note: It won’t support Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 x32 version
Please refer here. After installing the OS or if you have the required OS ready, you must have some prerequisites. Those are listed here. Also I managed to list some prerequisites here:
Operating system components, including RSAT-ADDS (needed on server that will perform schema updates), Web-Server, Web-Metabase, Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console, Web-ISAPI-Ext, NET-HTTP-Activation, Web-Basic-Auth, Web-Digest-Auth, Web-Windows-Auth, Web-Dyn-Compression, RPC-over-HTTP-proxy, Web-Net-Ext and [dot].Net-Framework.
You can install all of these components at one time (e.g., for the Mailbox, Client Access and/or Hub Transport Server roles) by running the following command:
ServerManagerCmd -i RSAT-ADDS Web-Server Web-Metabase Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console Web-ISAPI-Ext NET-HTTP-Activation Web-Basic-Auth Web-Digest-Auth Web-Windows-Auth Web-Dyn-Compression RPC-over-HTTP-proxy Web-Net-Ext -Restart
For more information about the prerequisites for Exchange 2010, including those for the Edge Transport server role, see Exchange 2010 Prerequisites.
Exchange Server 2010 also supports installing the above pre-requisites by using an Answer File with ServerManagerCmd, and answer files are included in the \AMD64\Scripts folder. To use them, you run ServerManagerCmd -ip
ServerManagerCmd -ip Exchange-CAS.XML
Next, are the software pre-requisites, which include:
See Exchange 2010 Prerequisites for information about and links to other pre-requisites that might apply to your environment (e.g., for Edge Transport and Unified Messaging server roles, and for environments that use System Center Operations Manager).
Once the above pre-requisites have been installed, check Microsoft Update for any additional updates that might be needed. Make sure the system has been rebooted after installing any updates which require a reboot.
Now you’re ready to install Exchange 2010. You can perform the installation using the GUI or command-line version of Setup. In this example, I’ll use the GUI.
I’ll start by launching Setup.exe from the AMD64 folder. It will show you a splash screen similar to the bellow one:
This Splash screen is much similor to the Exchange 2007 screen. In this screen you can see some pre-requisites will be grayed if they are already installed, if not you will be promted to install them first. Once all the pre-requisites ready, the Exchange Installer will take you directly Step 4.
Step 4: Install Microsoft Exchange. Clcik on that and the GUI will appear and shows you that, exchange setup is coping required files into your server. (Image 2 is GUI you will see)
Once all the files copied you will see the MS Exchange 2010 introduction page, which is below:
Click on Next and Language files location page appears.
If you have language files other than English (Its default language of my Server), you can browse and select it, or you can just by clicking Continue setups without language files radio button (The setup will take your system default language as Exchange’s language). Click Next to proceed.
This screen confirms your selected Language.
Click on Next, now you will see License Agreement page:
After reading the license agreement, select I accept the terms in the license agreement and click Next. The Error Reporting page appears:
You must select Yes (Recommended), if you want to send error report, its really useful tool, Or you can select NO to not to send error report.And click on Next. he Installation Type page appears:
Immediately, you might notice some differences from Exchange Server 2007. First, the Custom Exchange Server Installation option no longer lists any clustered mailbox server roles. That’s because clustered mailbox servers don’t exist in Exchange Server 2010. Exchange 2010 includes a new feature called Incremental Deployment. This feature enables to you configure high availability and site resilience for your mailbox database after Exchange has been installed. Second, the default path for the Exchange Server installation is new and different. If I choose Custom Exchange Server Installation, the Server Role Selection page appears:
Choose Typical Exchange Server Installation instead of Custom Exchange Server Installation and click Next, or after completed the Custom Exchange Server Installation choices and click Next, the Exchange Organization page appears:
Specify a name for Exchange Organization, and then click Next. The Client Settings page appears:
If your Exchange organization uses Outlook 2003 or earlier, or Microsoft Entourage, then a public folder database is needed so that those clients can access system data, such as Free/Busy information. In that case, you would select Yes on this page. Since im not using Outlook 2003 or earlier, or Entourage, I can leave the default setting of No and click Next.
The Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) page appears:
I’ll click Join the Exchange Customer Experience Improvement Program and specify an industry of Computer-Related Products/Services.
I click Next. The Readiness Checks page appears, and Setup automatically performs readiness checks for any installed language packs, as well as the selected server roles to be installed.
The readiness checks don’t take much time at all. Once all readiness checks have successfully passed, the Readiness Check page will look like this:
Now, the system and server are ready for the installation to begin. Click on Install to start the installation of Exchange 2010 Mailbox, Client Access and Hub Transport server roles, as well as the Exchange Management tools (Exchange Management Console and Exchange Management Shell).
While Setup is progressing, a Progress page will be appeared:
Once all the componets installed you will see green checkmark, like bellow image:
Installing Exchange 2010 is quick and easy. In some systems it might take less then 30mins. Uncheck the Finalize installation using the Exchange Management Console checkbox, and click Finish to complete the Setup process. This returns Setup to the splash screen. Click Close to close the splash screen, and when the Confirm Exit dialog appears:
Click Yes.
Then, reboot the server. (There is no need of restarting, but I recommend you to do so.
The installation of Exchange Server 2010 is now complete.

Wow its a biggest disaster ever happened to wiki. Twitter already confirmed that its down. In Internet age peoples IQ is gone….god help uss….
Updated:
Due to an overheating problem in our European data center many of our servers turned off to protect themselves. As this impacted all Wikipedia and other projects access from European users, we were forced to move all user traffic to our Florida cluster, for which we have a standard quick failover procedure in place, that changes our DNS entries.
However, shortly after we did this failover switch, it turned out that this failover mechanism was now broken, causing the DNS resolution of Wikimedia sites to stop working globally. This problem was quickly resolved, but unfortunately it may take up to an hour before access is restored for everyone, due to caching effects.
We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.
