> I was hoping that setting up a server on a Mac would not be too difficult.
Hi Barry
I've not tried the servers mentioned in your mail. I have 4 Mac webservers
I use.
1) Microsoft Personal Web server. It's getting better and may be all you need.
2) Apple Personal web server. I think it's much like the Microsoft one and
comes with MacOS8
3) WebCamToo server. This is primarily a web cam server but will do some
basic html serving.
4) Quid Pro Quo. This is by far the best and in it's "Plus" version a fully
fledged industrial strength server. I first got it when it was free in
version 1. He then went commercial in version 2 but still had a free
"standard" version which I use now.

Go to the bottom of the download page to find the free version. He no
longer mentions it much although it is the same as the plus version but
with a few less features such as multi-homing... mainly stuff that you
won't need anyway if this is for testing at home.
I'm happy with it and I often use it to test non-cold fusion based stuff. I
have a small 6 computer network in my bedroom and as I'm using Wingate on
my NT4 server, I can allow the Mac to be accessed from "outside" or from
any computer on my intranet. It's trivial to change it's "web home" so I
quite often run projects from ZIP drives.
I have just downloaded it and installed it as it is now v2.1.2 and I had
2.0. Download ~2mb, install... a few seconds, setup... < 1 minute.
It can even run on a 68020 chip with MacOS 7.1 if you were to have an old
Mac needing a job. :)
Forget the others! :)
thanks
Bruce
