Ok....we are now running winxp for our server.
We had Apache for our server program, but I can't find anywhere where Apache
supports winxp...yikes!
Any suggestions for a "user friendly" server program?
I tried KF Server, but the danged thing confused this wee little brain:(
Any help greatly appreciated:)

[View Quote] Why not try downloading Apache2 for windows. It comes with it's own
little server controller thingie.

Your own suggestion to me quite a while ago was Xitami. Seems to work fine
with my WinXP. Not sure about others. http://www.xitami.com/

said.

That one works with winxp?

Hmmmm...I always used Xitami in the past as a redirecting page. They have
software for running a domain from a pc now?

Thanks .duo:)
Sounds like a complex or spendy software?

[View Quote] Why wouldn't it? Win means windows and 32 means 32 bit application
(compared to 16 and 8 (16 was win3.1 while 8 was dos I think?) -- got me
swinging on the specifics to that one, their origins anyways)

If you use the word "server" in a sentence, you should almost always include
the word "linux" in your sentence as well.

Linux is the *only* operating system I would ever use for running a server.

Go get yourself an ISO of RH 9, and unlock the *real* power of Apache.
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/

Quit using stupid XP pro, or next time some worm/virus starts making it's
way around the internet, your server will fall victim.

[View Quote] Xitami is rather new and is not really that great for a dedicated
webserver. Sure it's great for hobbiests and stuff. But if you want
speed and reliability I'd suggest a more "professional" software that's
been around for a long while (Apache... yes even IIS is better than
Xitami - only for non commercial things in my opinion).

Cause on thier support pages it mentions all versions of windows except xp?

Tried Linux and didn't like it:(
And...Iv'e already fallen victim to viruses. Always fixable and a

The heck you say!
Alpha and I used Xitami back in 1997 when we first came to AW:)
but I think it's more of a forwarding thingy as opposed to a server proggy?

[View Quote] Windows 2K is synonymous to Windows XP in most cases. Even so, just
remember all win32 applications should be compatible with the
compatibility mode that XP offers. Run it in Windows 98 mode if it
doesn't work (try just running it normally first as it should work and
makes no sense to offer packages for all but the newest windows).

I have WinXP Pro and running Apache for some tests that we do in the house
here (Don't ask.. long story.. :)) Works fine.

Aug 26, 2003, 12:40am

Though, just to add, Apache best works with *nix. :)

Aug 26, 2003, 12:56am

Ok...got it downloaded and installed but I'm not sure what configuration I
need to do to allow web pages to load?
I have our web page in the htdocs folder but the page isn't
loading...hmmmmmm
I haven't configured anything as of yet.
Whats strange is it loaded two Apache sets of folders.
One under a C/Docs and Settings
And another under C/Program Files.
Both are named Apache Group with subfolders of Apache2 and its contents.
It never did this before...geeze!
lol

Yep...I get this
If you can see this, it means that the installation of the Apache web server
software on this system was successful. You may now add content to this
directory and replace this page.

And all the rest of the stuff

[View Quote] Move all your webpage documents into the htdocs subfolder of the apache2
folder. Then, try it again. (repalce the files index.html if neccessary)

Uh, that's your opinion only. I've got two windows 2003 enterprise boxes
and one windows 2000 server. All three have no problems, and serve half a
terabyte to my network and the internet a month with no problem.

[View Quote] Yeah and my 233 box with 32 megabytes of ram hacks up to pieces in linux
with apache, when it'd die a fast and horrible death if it tried to run
windows. Case and point, Apache is fast, stable, and low load. Throw
that in your face you, all of a sudden, windows fanboy.

[View Quote] 20 total for apache (maybe, ever total, that's giving a huge benefit of
the doubt since I've only hear of 3). Let's compare this to microsoft
web servers shall we... oh wait... 20 is a complete understatement.

If the other suggestions mentioned don't work out, you could always give
the Sambar Server a try. I've used it on my local LAN in the past under
XP Pro without any problems. It may not have all the bells and whistles
that other Web servers have, but it works for most needs. More info can
be found at:

http://www.sambar.com

A review of version 5.0 can be found here:

Whatever you do, do NOT use IIS! LOL.
