Web Server for Windows ME

[kiosk77]

ok...anybody know of a good Web server that will run my ASP scripts for Windows ME? I installed the NTOptionPack but I guess it doesnt support Windows ME (only Win95 and NT4)...help please

'scuse me? I didn't realise ME was out yet?
You could try PWS that comes with Win98/NT4WkSt...

I think Microsoft's aim with ME was to create an OS without all the fancy networking stuff...I wouldn't be surprised if it rejects PWS. :(

I've got access to a Win2000 server at work (with IIS 5 - t'is sweet! :D )

You could also try Chili!Soft ASP...with Apache for Windows...might work... ;)

Alternatively use PHP or Perl with Apache :)
PHP is supposed to be similar to ASP (so my WebMaster tells me)...can't say I've ever tried it tho.

Windows ME hasn't yet been released although you may be running a beta copy. But Windows ME was designed to be a desktop operating system, not something that you would run a web server on. Windows 2000 is the best platform for running ASP on, with IIS 5 being a much improved product.

As for PHP, it will run well on the highly used Linux OS. PHP has several similarities to ASP, but as it was designed to run on a Unix not Windows platform I think that it's unfair to compare them. Now you could compare PHP and Perl, but I don't want to start that one off now...

:) Yeah...we agree... Windows ME and Web Servers are not really meant to go together...

Now Windows 2000 Server...mmm...nice!
