If you are on a windows server box, then you don't need apache...just use IIS. It's pretty easy to set up. If it is on an XP box or Linux, then yeah...use apache. I think it is a bit more user friendly than setting up the built in server (never really cared for the built-in server...but that is a personal preference). If you need any help setting up apache for this (it's pretty easy if you know what you are doing *grin*)...most of us here are pretty well versed in that and (speaking for myself) would be glad to help you if you need it. I am not aware of the policies for academic use...I am not sure if you have to purchase it or if it is free with the proper credentials. I bet if you give adobe a call they could tell you ;-)
