developing SSI webpages on XP Home Edition 1

[paulecosse]

I'm trying to redevelop our company website but I'm damned if I can figure out how to use SSI's locally on this infernal operating system. From looking at a few other forums I've heard that you can't run PWS/IIS on Home edition. Just wondering if anyone knows any alternative or if I'll just have to get the boss to update to Pro edition.

Cheers,
Paul.

The upgrade to PRO is your best option; but you don't have to run a local webserver to develop serverside includes - it can be done on another webserver... only there are some extra steps (both local and remote) involved to getting things to work smooth... and there will be a (noticeable or not) performance hit - but in theory you can develop remotely..

But, given that you are running in a commercial environment, it is highly unlikely that the extra cost (time for settings things up, extra debugging, getting an external IIS [or whatever webserver you want], possible stability problems and so on) will be less than a simple upgrade version of XPPro (given an upgradeable Home license) and the (one-time) upgrade time... ---
