Setting up a web server

I'm wanting to set up a web server for some web pages and have it accessible to anyone outside of my network over the internet.  I've many different ways, but I have not been successful.  Anyone know of how to do this?

I've only been able to guess at that.  I have no idea what ports to forward.  The easiest way would seem to use the File Sharing option then port forward.

Note: OS X 10.5

Re: Setting up a web server

web browsing is port 80, which is blocked by some ISPs. I'll try to dig up my old thread on the subject, but it is possible to set the Mac to use a different port, than you access it via your.macs.IP.address:port
