Brendan,
Thanks for clarifying several points about apache and it's application on windows
based OSs. I am just starting to learn about web development and want to set up a
web sever running on XP HE. From the sounds of it apache is the right way to jump.
Can you recommend any good references for someone like me who has good database,
HTML developement skills but is a novice when it comes to managing a web service
or developing dynamic web pages.
Cheers
Rob.
