Title: Web server Software?
Post by: übermetroid on May 07, 2004, 11:05:58 am

Hey, I have access to a PC with a T1 connection at work.  Its got some extra space (around 3-4 gigs) that I could use up that no one would notice.

Anyone know of any software that would let me use these 3-4 gigs for accessable web storage?  :confused:

apache, or IIS. I guess apache is easier to install without having the windows cd, tho.

Apache hands down. You might also want to install PHP/mysql while you're at it so you can make custom file managment scripts. :D

Apache is your best bet, in general. However, if you're a very knowledgable NT/2k administrator, IIS is the absolute best choice for a single site on a Win2k/NT box.

Or, to make it more clear:

Code: [Select]


if (you == VERY_KNOWLEDGABLE_NT_2K_ADMIN &&
    you == HAVE_SINGLE_SITE &&
    you == HAVE_NT_2K_Box)
{
    use_IIS();
}
else
{
    use_APACHE();
}

Don't ask. My brain is in odd places.

It works, though you may want to change the defualt dir.

(Whats wrong with the Dir?  I know its lame swf files...  Anything I'm missing?)

Tonight it goes up with FS stuff.  Anything people wanna see up?  FS1 moves in .avi? :D
