like i mean using IIS, i have Windows XP Pro/ Service Pack 2

how would i do it?

ummmmm

in the registry, in

local machine - > microsoft - > windows -> current version- > run

make a new string value of

"Explorer http://www.plasticangels.com"

that would load http://www.plasticangels.com when you load up your computer


..ummm correct me if im wrong, but isnt iis for servers???

he means how can he make his computer a server, i think

apache can do that -_-

would somebody be able to construct a tutorial for me, showing how to use Apache or IIS to make my computer a server? aka a website?

http://apache-server.com/tutorials/

http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/apache.shtml this one explains how to install.

http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
which is the windows exe?

The windows binary
Its in .msi format, which is just a type of installer

is there a site that says how to install apache on a windows xp computer?

Just run the .msi installer. Then go to http://localhost to check it's working correctly. if you see the test page, navigate to C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs and then you can put the files you want to be viewed in there. Then find out your IP and put http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where 'x' are the IP numbers so you can check if it can be accessed over the internet.

Then get a domain name lol

blah there is an easier way just install easyphp
go here
http://www.easyphp.org/telechargements.php3
download easy php
then follow this guide to install it /set it up (which just tells you to make it english and setup the php.ini etc its very easy!)
http://www.canowhoopass.com/guides/easyphp/

Security Notice
This guide doesn't cover security much at all. Although Easy PHP does a good job of closing most common holes, there are many still open. I recommend you run this server behind firewall's and only use it for development / learning purposes. Shut it down when not in use.

thats because the defult config is like that the other link i gave u gives you some advice on how to secure it more but i havnt had 1 hack attept or anything on my server which runs it , and none of my friends have had a problem with security if u set up apache or iss yourself i bet u it will be as insecure as easy php is anyway

i use Abyss web server and it works great....
