linux w/ apache+php works beautifully for me

Try to keep Apache on it regardless of which platform you are on - although our system works fine on Apache/Linux/Win2k - apparently some of the Zend tools doesn't completely work off IIS such as the compiler. But it works fine on Apache.

I cant use Linnux or Unix it must be Win32. I dont want Apache either. I need something else.

I suppose "else" means IIS. Win98 comes with PWS... or you can try badblue - a tiny webserver (http://www.badblue.com). I don't think IIS works in something other than the NT kernel - tho I'm not a Windoze xpert.

I think you right - PWS sucks so bad that it is turned inside out and BadBlue is worse than what I have at moment - Xitami. I want some options to fiddle with!

Ah yes young Jedi..... know you begin to see why Apache has more market share than all other webservers combined:)

Well, your full list of options are PWS, Netscape/iPlanet (not sure if iPlanet works with W9x, older versions of Netscape do), OmniHTTPd, Oreilly Website Pro, Xitami (obviously), Caudium, fhttpd, and of course, Apache.

I found Sambar to be a pretty functional, reliable server (www.sambar.com) although.... ultimately, after experimenting with IIS on Win2k.... I opted for Apache =)
