The reason i ask is i would like to include a HTML page source in my WE, which can be done easily, but from what i have tried to do this, it needs to be loaded from a URL (cannot open local file?), if thats the case this means i need to also have apache running to server as my "web pages" on standard port 80, and my WE running on another port. Is this the way its "meant" to be done. And if none of the above makes sense, in simplier terms, if i want to have my WE and a few HTML pages on a server, do i need to have the WE standalone http server running AND a apache server, or can i serve HTML files through the WE standalone.

But you can serve WE apps through Apache with the CGI build type. _________________ Thom McGrath - @tekcor Web Framework Architect, Real Software, Inc.

Naturally Apache+CGI is the first choice for a site with lots of static content and a WE app. But what if a site will predominately be WE with just a few static pages? _________________ Daniel L.

Seems overkill to install apache or have a lamp setup when there is already a basic http server in my hands?
