I just set up my own server
This explains it easily.
But that doesnt explain how to install PHP

So you can use this

I know you already have a 'tutorial', but its good to read more on the subject

thanks man i will get to work soon

I suggest you to use XAMPP

I also wanted to host a website from my computer.
Someone suggested me EasyPHP, but I couldn't get it work...
Then, someone else suggested me XAMPP and it worked like a charm

Read the whole thread here: Installing PHP + MySQL on a windows machine?

I dont know, EasyPHP may work for you

I suggest you to download the installer version and not the 7-ZIP archive



Downsides:
Big file size (25 MB)
Takes some time to install

well i tried to install Apache on a limited user and it seemed to work but when I go to http://localhost/ it dosent work can someone help me?

wtf.. 34mbits per second? even 10mbit is enough.

Depends on how popular your website will be.
BTW, how do I find out how fast mine is? Never mind

you cant just up and go make your PC into a server. If you don't know how its done, I sudgest looking for a server host and getting a dot TK domain.

If you start using your PC as a server without basic knowlage of how to get started, then your gona run into some problems such as, bandwith limits, script conflics, etc...

I decided I wanted my own server last night, so I did. A quick google search and I'm all set up.

True, my computer gets turned off all the time so it sucks as a proper website server and my internet is crap, but its still a fully working, kick ass server.

I'm having some truble with Xampplite ....... i have no clue where the index.html file is lol

It should be in a folder called 'www' or 'public_html' in the Xampplite folder or something.

I have AppServ and it is in C:\AppServ\www\index.htm
