PWS ??

[Cerridwen]

Hi,

How can I install the Personal Web Server on Windows XP?

PWS is a feature of Pro only - are you running Pro?

 

[Rob Schneider]

You don't. PWS is old, defunct, software. XP Pro includes Microsoft IIS
server on the CD. Install it via the Windows Components button on the
Control Panel's install program. XP Home does not have this software
and I understand it is not possible to install it. For XP Home (and XP
Pro) you can use another web server, e.g. Apache (www.apache.org), which
is ubiquitious use in the Internet.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

WinXP Home does not support a MS web server.
WinXP Pro comes with IIS, which is the web server. It's installed via
Windows add/remove programs.

I'm sorry I bothered to assist you.

PWS will not run on Windows XP.
If you need to develop ASP or ASP.NET applications, you'll need to upgrade
to Windows XP Professional so you can run IIS.

I have Apache and MySQL, I am looking to run PWS/IIS for ASP
applications...

Then you need XP "Pro".

It is not even in Pro. Pro has IIS (Internet Information Server) - a
different, later product. And neither can be installed under XP Home

So you won't want to use '"****ing Microsoft's" free ASP.NET
development kit?
http://www.asp.net/webmatrix/default.aspx?tabIndex=4&tabId=46 It
includes a development server that only supports localhost
connections. If that's too restrictive download and remove the
restriction from Cassini.

Works fine on XP Home.
