386109 2005-09-05 07:59:00 Hi there!

I am running Windows XP Home Edition. I was wondering if it is possible to run Windows Personal Web Server on this edition of windows. If so I was wondering if someone could tell me how I can download PWS?

Thanks for any help!

Thanks for your reply...I was wondering if you may know of any web server software that Windows XP (Home Ed.) may support. I want to test webpages/applications before uploading them to an "online" server.

Thanx

Download XAMPP from Apache friends web site and you have Apache (web server) a ftp server, Mercury (email), php and mysql. All open source. I think there is even a plugin for ASP availble for Apache all of which are controlled from a nice little applet

Microsoft ASP => no
Perl ASP => yes
the two versions of ASP are NOT the same.
