I have apache on Window 98 and it works a dream. The caveat being I don't
know how happy it is on later versions of windows.
As far as you're concerned the only thing you need working straight away is
server side includes. These may or may not be already enabled, but if not
you can edit the httpd.conf file (You should be able to find in it via
Start > Programs > Apache) to enable them. If you search Google for
something like "enabling ssi on apache" you should get dozens of pages
that'll show you how to make the changes you need to make. They are only
one liners, really nothing to be frightened of :-)
As I said in the last mail you can pick everything else up as you go along.
There is stacks of stuff with apache, but if your not interested in using
it you need never know about it. By the same token if there is something
complex in the live server environment you want mimic locally, the odds are
apache should be up to the job.

Yes, I do have a copy Apache for Windows but in doing some Google searching
it seemed there were many issues cropping up on configuring it. I have this
fear I will install Apache and all sorts of problems will start popping up
and I will be worse off than I am now. At least now-- although my methods
are kludgy--things are working! Some of these other servers promised out of
the box functionality. I admit-- I am a sucker for the marketing hype! But
that is why I was asking on this list--trying to get some reality into this
process.
So how hard is it to configure Apache? Easy for a newbie? I am not a
programmer although I can usually muddle along pretty well for an amateur.
I
can see myself getting in way over my head.
Thanks
Janet

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.
John.
