re: XP Home and Personal Web Server Tuesday, March 18, 2003 at 1:17 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Jeff Monteith (1 messages posted) I too had this problem, trying to run my own webserver at home but constrained by the IIS limitations of 5 concurrent users. I decided to go to Apache. Really quite simple, the only real problem was changing all of our websites from FrontPage to Netobjects Fusion as Apache did not easily (for me) support FrontPage extensions. I run XP Pro on a DSL line. You mention that one must "tweak" XP to allow for more usage of bandwidth. I am finding that the pages are served incredibly slow under Apache - when compared to IIS. What can I do to improve the performance of Apache?? I don't doubt the product, I just doubt my ability to properly configure the software. the httpd.con file is relatively unchanged, bar the creation of virtual servers to hold five separate websites. For those of you considering making the change, JUMP from IIS to Apache today. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer on the tweaking of XP Professional as it pertains to Apache 2.0. Cheers - Monteith.
