1. Set up the Domino server.

• Make sure you understand TCP/IP concepts, including DNS host names and IP addressing.
• Set up a Domino server.
• Set up security for the server.

• To allow users to connect to the server over the Internet, connect the server to an Internet Server Provider (ISP) and register the server's domain name and IP address on the ISP's DNS server. For more information, contact the ISP.
• To allow users to connect to the server internally, without connecting to the Internet, register the server's domain name and IP address on the DNS server at your organization.

4. From the Domino Administrator, click Files, open the Server document and enable "Load Internet configurations from Server\Internet Sites documents."

5. Create at least one Web site by creating an Internet Site document.

6. Decide on an HTTP port strategy. You can enable ports for TCP/IP, SSL, or for both. In the Server document, click Ports - Internet Ports - Web, and enable one or both: "TCP/IP port status" and "SSL port status."

7. (Optional) Enable the Domino Web server log.

8. Start the Domino Web server by starting the HTTP task.

To check the server setup, start your browser and enter the DNS name or IP address for the server.
