Local Server

[MSIuser]

Hello, I am currently running on a dial up internet connection and also admin of a website. I am in the process of redesigning the website and I am just wondering if there is anyway of me being able to run a sort of virtual web server on my own home computer? I have two computers networked, if there might be a way that would work? It is just a lot of my website I based on a MySQL Database and I would love to be able to test my scripts on a test server, and without uploading to my server (with easily.co.uk). Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks
David

Yup, you can get Windows versions of Apache and MySQL from their respective websites.

Just set the listen address on apache in httpd.conf to the machine in question's local IP address, it'll work fine.

I done a little bit of my own research there and I found out that there is a program which apparently has all of em in it called Foxserv. Will this do the job for me?

Looks good to me, using that you probably won't even have to go through the config files :).

Erm, I downloaded Apache and installed it, but I can't seem to get it working that I can view my files when I put them into the htdocs folder. Where they meant to go?
