Simulating a webserver on win98

[Parka]

I know that on WinXp, it's called Internet Information Services (IIS).

On Win98, it's called Personal Web Server (PWS). But after installing it, I can't share the folder.

It says that Microsoft IIS is stopped.

Is there anyway to overcome this?

I'm trying to put up a site on a VBscript server.

Thanks!!!

This sounds obvious but, make sure that you have turned on IIS. There should be a tab to control either IIS or PWS. Your virtual server is probably off. I used to use PWS a lot until I got XP and switched over to Apache. There might be a control panel setting for PWS as well. I believe that the term IIS and Personal Web Server is interchangeable in the context that you are dealing with, even though the products are a bit different in terms of capacity.

I'm trying to test out some ASP pages on my computer (win98).

Is there any free webservers around I can install?

Thanks dude!

Here is the url for Apache 2.0

It doesn't support VBScript, but works with PHP and PERL.
If you are willing to learn either of those, this server is completely compatible with Linux/Unix products as well.

I like it. It will run on any Microsoft OS.

http://apache.130th.net/httpd/binaries/win32/apache_2.0.48-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi

Here is php:

There is a free database that is very powerful called Mysql,
which is commonly run with this combination of products.
It's worth looking into.
