Viewing a site with SSI's locally

[mustoskiff]

I have designed a site for my wife using server side includes (SSI's).

She needs to be able to show this site to people from her laptop at a show where she has no internet connection so needs to be able to browse the site using the loacl copy.

When w try this we don't get to see the page "assembled" with all the SSI's.

The laptop is running XP Pro and I think this has to be done be setting the site as the default site using the local host ... or somthing like that.

Anyone know what steps I need to take?

regards,

Rick

Simple: Install Apache httpd. Thats what I do - I run a complete copy of my web server on my local machines :)

http://httpd.apache.org/

Free, open source, powerful.

Err .... that looks a bit tricky - compiling and installing.

I'm a simple chap ... is there and easier way?
