I want to set up a Website for my network with out the
need for anyone to be online to view it.
I have tryed Aprche server (I KNOW IT IS SPELT WORONG) but
found this to difficult to set up.
Is their anyother free servers I can use which are easy to
set up?

What was difficult? It pretty much sets itself up (for the type of use
you need) apart from a bit of editing of httpd.conf (and running apache
/i to install the service IIRC).
 
Why are you not using IIS that comes with WinXP Pro?

Should of said I am running XP Home

Got to say, I installed IIS once but just couldn't get it to work and,
more significantly, couldn't find any basic info/docs on how to do a
simple set up. I'm sure it isn't difficult but, if you don't know....

Anyway, you won't have IIS if your running XP Home.

Tell you what, I've got a machine here that I need to install apache on
anyway so if you'd like to try again and do it in parallel with me then
I'll help you out - offlist since it's not a Windows XP issue.

I take it you're only wanting to setup an Intranet web server?

I did try it twice but, I could not access the pages in
the web browser.
I am wanting it so I do not need to go online to view the
pages on the computers on the network.

I wood do dis:

1. Buy the following itms: 64 million permannt markers of diffrent
collors; 10,000 sheets of postr board; 1 very larg cork board.

2. Draw sum prtty pichures on the postrs using the markers.

3. Hang the postrs on the cork board.

4. This is the kewl part - you us the network and send an emale to
evryone to come sea you're really neat web cite on the cork board.

The latest versions use Installshield and Microsoft Installer (MSI) and,
IIRC, will work "out of the box".

If you've still got it installed (and used all the defaults when
installing) it should be in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache
Under that directory there will be one called htdocs; that's the root of
your website.

Check in Task Manager and check there is one (probably several)
instances of Apache.exe running. If so, in your browser type
http://127.0.0.1/ and you should see the Apache test page.

Now copy an HTML file to C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs and
in your browser type http://127.0.0.1/foobar.html (substitute the real
filename of course) and it should display.

You should be able to use your computername in place of 127.0.0.1 but
127.0.0.1 is a safe fallback in case httpd.conf is not configured properly.

As I said, if you want to give it another try, e-mail me off-list and
I'll help you out. My e-mail address is (put the 'at' and 'dot' in the
obvious places) parish ntlworld com

Hmmm, would Win 95/98/ME users need perman95 instead of permanNT? :-)
