Hi.

I am trying to host Apache server on my machine. I have Windows XP 256 mb ram. Now i am trying to install a PHP server and from the information I was able to fecth up. This is what I have.

1. Apache is a PHP server.
2. I have the Apache server configured in my system. It is Apache 2.0.55. I was asked to provide a domain name. I entered myname.net (not a legitimate option). Then I enetered my IP address(i have this leased for 24 hours). Then my legitimate mail ID.
3. Now when I run it i can not make head or toe of this. I get Apache monitor, which shows something as active. Then other option shows services that are running. Then I know nothing.

4. Actullay speaking I do not know why I set up this server, however that is not the thing I want answer for. I will find that for myself.

5. What I wish to know is, I was asked to install windows XP service pack 1, which I did not, i will do that now. And second, why it is recommened that i install a http server in my windows first and then ftp server.

6. I tried looking for RFC in apache server, but did not found anything. Help will be appericiated.

Thanks.
