serve web page internally

[Rick Miles]

I don't know if this is possible nor what to key word on google, I
haven't found anything yet.

I want to serve a dynamic web page internally (lan only) by just
accessing a port. For example; by typing 192.168.1.3:[some_port_number]
a web page will open in the browser. Web page could either be generated
by a script on demand or be a static web page which is re-written every
x seconds or minutes on 192.168.1.3

Is this possible?

I do this for a guest webcam presently: http://gateway.alchester.com.au:456/
I can see the same thing internally as 192.168.xxx.xxx:456 on my LAN
So in this case I have an application (ie a webcam) but it could be a
webpage generator, that outputs on port 456.

Is that the idea? In my case the application outputs to a specific port
and is running on a known static IP: 192.168.xxx.xxx

OK, I've been playing with minidlna and motion which broadcast on a port
nominated in their config file and I've been thinking that there would
be some program that was a "generic broadcaster" which I could then
configure to my requirement. Maybe there is maybe there isn't..........

but I've been looking at httpd and it seems to me that <VirtualHost>
might do this.

Listen 192.168.1.3:9091
<VirtualHost>
DocumentRoot ????
ServerName ????
</VirtualHost>

but if it can than what would I use for the document root and server name?

Arghhhhh! you did a post whilst I was writing!!!!

I'm planning to build a small stevenson screen to set up in the back
yard. Original idea was to use motion on a pi to see hat the pup is up
to and also diplay temperature and humidity in the video stream from
motion. It turns out motion will only display date time etc and I can't
ad text from a second source. So my idea is to set up a dynamic web page
which updates tmp. an hum.periodically and is available just by typing
in ip:port_no. Maybe later figure out how to embed video on the webpage.

Didn't state it on previous post. Yes that's what I'd be doing but would
restrict it to local network.

It works!

A reasonable man should not attempt such things when he is home with the flu!!!!
