Title: Pws
Post by: microchip on 20 July 2005, 06:33

Microsoft has made yet another (sarcastically) "smart move". They have decided that 95,98,NT,and xp pro will have the personal web server option, but have excluded only one operating system: xp home (what im on). I'm trying to do databasing and this makes it VERRRY dfficult to do (as in I can't). Neone have a way around this other than using FrontPage (i hate that word...)? ty 4 ne help.

What does Frontpage have to do with a webserver?

There's Apache and MySQL for Windows.  Use them.

You know, installing Apache, PHP, MySQL, and more on Linux takes about 30 seconds using apt.  OSX is pretty easy too.  Both of those solutions are much 'smarter moves' than getting anything to work in Windows.
