I have XP home, and just realized that I can't have IIS with it!

Is there some way of enabling a web server on this computer with xp home, without installing XP?

is there some program, like i remember with win 98 you could install PWS or something. easy add on.

any ideas?

Thanks

You can download apache web server, and run that, or you could even write your own web server :D

Excuse me, im in a very strange mood this evening :D
Ive never smiled so much in all my life :D

Its probably a long shot but I think I recall someone telling me IIS was included in winxp sp1, not sure tho tbh...

You can install a PWS-like version of IIS if you really want to, although I would also recommend Apache.

Wait, I don't think that makes sense ;)

Anyway, I recommend Apache too. You might try FoxServ or something similar if you want MySQL and PHP.
