I really don't know how n00by this question will be... but i'm going to ask anyways. I just installed apache2, mysql 4.whatever, php 5.0.03, the whole works. Now how do I make it so that people can go to my ip address and view my website as if it were a regular server. This wouldn't be hardcore web hosting, just once in a while some traffic to show people my current project, etc.

provided you aren't behind a firewall blocking the port Apache is listening to (default of 80) then you can already do it.

If you are behind a NAT/Firewall, like a DSL or cable modem router, then you should be able to set the router to forward http traffic to your specific computer. The manufacturer's manual to your router will tell you how to set it, if possible.
