Hello.
I've been looking for how to set up an HTTP server on my home PC which has XP pro on it, and make the web pages on that server accessible to the public. I realize the security risks of this and am willing to take them. I have Apache HTTP server version 2.00 and I would prefer to stick with that if possible. I've heard that Linux is a good thing to do this with, but I really would like to stay with Windows for now...there must be some way to do it. By the way I have Apache set up on my computer right now along with PHP and MySQL running fine, which is a big reason why I want to do this (to keep my own database and have support for PHP), but I can only view the pages from this computer (it just goes to the localhost in my browser). My processor is an AMD Athlon XP 2600 with 512 MB of RAM and an 80 GB HD and I also have a small HD of about 4GB or so seperately that could be used if necessary. I figured you would probably want to know the specs, so there they are. If you have any more questions about it, please reply and I will be happy to answer you.
Have a great day and thanks in advance,
