Janet,
Have you tried Apache for Windows. It's pretty easy to install and you can
be up and running in no time. And it's free. Once you have it you can
extend your server knowledge at you ease.

Subject: [wdvltalk] Simple Web Server?
11/03/2004 03:19

Please respond
to wdvltalk
Hello-
I am hoping one of you fine folks will be able to help me out.
The situation: I run on a Window XP Home PC and do not have a local web
server. Up until recently this has been only a moderate inconvenience-- I
just post the test pages on my hosted server in a test area. This is not
the
best solution but it was working. But now I have more sites to deal with
(good news I guess!) and also they are using JavaScript, server side
includes and CSS that need a server to adequately test the page before
publishing.
Unfortunately, the box I have with WinXp Home does not have Microsoft's IIS
(I guess to sell more Pro versions MS stripped out the PWS that came with
Win2000). I won't bore you with the details of why I have Home vs. Pro. I
know I need to upgrade to Pro but this isn't a good time to do an operating
system change. So I need to find an easy way to get a personal web server.
All I want to do is test pages -- I won't be hosting any web sites. I don't
need a lot of sophistication-- just want to check the layout of these pages
and troubleshoot the CSS position before publishing to the world.
I don't know anything about setting up a personal web server-- and frankly
have too many other things going on to want to. I have heard that Simple
ServerWWW and Abyss are two simple but functional choices. Anyone using
either of these? Any other ideas on a simple way to get a personal web
server?
Thanks
Janet
