Free Windows Server

[bnwsource]

I was looking for a free server with PHP supported. I looked many places but never found one. I need one to test my scripts in my home pc, because i don't like uploading it on my website's server just to test it out. So, is there any script/software to make a web server in my ROCK-SOLID PC?

PHPTriad didn't work either. :(

Try installing phptraid, going in your start menu to: Start > All Programs (XP) > PHPTriad > Apache Console > Start Apache. A black "dos prompt" should come up with something similar to "Apache/X.X.XX (Win32) Running...". Next, open up your favorite browser, (i prefer msie) and enter http://localhost for the address.

Hope it works out for ya man.

When you start apache, do not close the window. Just minimize it. It has to stay running for the server to work. When you start mysql, it will just popup and close. Whatever you want to show on your localhost goes in the htdocs folder within the apache folder.

So thats how people have self-hosted sites...
