If you use DHCP, the address of your server "could" change. A STATIC IP would be a great idea too (for the server). If you use DHCP, the address of your server “could” change.

The "drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-05-03 16:06 www" readout shows you permissions (d = directory, then read, write, and/or execute for owner, group, and all) as well as owner (the first "root" is the user who owns it, the second is the group). Another option is to create a symlink called "www" rather than a folder. You can have that link point to a directory in your home directory, which can make it easier to keep track of your files (plus backing up your home directory then also gets your site; in addition, you can simply change the symlink's target to completely change the site being hosted). Thanks, Sam :) As Sam said, “www” is owned by root.

So in your case it would be "sudo mv test.html /var/www". You have to type "sudo" in front of every command dealing with the "www" folder. So you don't have to type "sudo" every time, put this in the terminal: "cd /var/" then put "sudo chown -R 'yourusername' www". For example, for me I put "sudo chown -R sam www". For a lot more help on this watch this video. http://www.lullabot.com/node/289/play. I hope that helps. Vandrian,
