I want to setup a server on my harddrive, with PHP and MySQL so that i can setup vb on my hardrive for testing purposes.

I have vb on the net over at www.mobile-forum.co.uk but i want something to test install hacks on etc.

can someone please help me?

I have an AMD Duron 800, 192mb RAM, 10.2gb HDD and all the time in the world.

I am not wanting to host my own forums of my own computer having a 56k dial-up connection...

Thanks in advanced

How secure would my system be with all this on?

Can anyone just goto http://mycurrentip:80 and access the server?

Yup, but you can stop that. I use IIS and Chris S. showed a neat way to block everyone who tried to access my server (only I can using http://localhost/).

Which is better then? Apache or IIS ?

IIS comes with WindowsXP and I bet there are loads of patches for it no?

PS, there are two Chris S' on this site, which one is it please so I may contact him

I used to use Apache before my last format, but I decided to give IIS a try and personally I like it better... my system starts up and shuts down a lot faster now.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
