Personal Web Server

[teser]

Please advise on how I can get Personal Web Server on my Windows 98 PC.
I tried typing "localhost" in my Netscape Browser Location area and didnt get any response.

I want to do database queries on the web using HTML and Perl.

PHP Triad or FoxServ, projects on Source Forge, come with apache web server and php. You might look into them and see if they come wiht perl. Pretty sure they do. ===

Defrex, do not you lose many IIS funtions when installing it on a win box?
I took the MS IIS course and as per instructors it would be the case
however never tried it myself

to tell you the truth i'm not sure. i dwnlded it a wile a go, and it dosen't seem to be the same thing. it all aperes to be updates and such, rather then the actual software. sorry i coulden't help more, if you brows the site you might be able to find it. not knowing is an excuse for those umwilling to lern -- John Rueben

Just do a 'Find' on your computer for PWS or Personal Web Server.

It will find an HTML page already on your hard drive that will give you step by step instructions on how to install and run PWS.
