Server Question. Please help!!! 2

[Wullie]

I am wanting to set up a personal server on my windows ME machine at home for testing purposes and am looking for advice.(Be gentle, this is my first attempt)

I am on a dial up modem so I do not have a fixed IP, does this matter? I only need to access it from the machine that the server will be on.

Also, what in YOUR OPINION is the best server to use.

What I need most is something that is quite easy to set up and use.

The main types of scripts I will be using are CGI, so any other items are bonuses but not required at present.

Also what other items will I need and where will I get them?

I have perl installed already but am totally lost as where to go from here.

Thanks in advance
Wullie

Hi Wullie!

I've got it running

http://localhost/

and can close it now too. I'll try out setting up the PHP later, this flu is awful ... *splitting headache

Thanks again! I'll be back for more help
