Re: Testing mod_perl app on Windows
Hi 2000 or XP are more robust, shell a little better you can install apache/modperl on any 2000, XP on XP you have name completion like in unix in the shell windows, a little + I have a running server on 2000 with apache 1 /modperl 1 plus a reverse proxy plain apache server to speed up a little pascal - Original Message - From: "Ken Y.

RE: Testing mod_perl app on Windows
ME is just windows 98 with some bells and whistles. If you want server, then win2k Server is still the standard (XP is only for workstation/desktop). I think mod_perl/Apache will run fine on ME,2000,XP,and even 98. But for real server environment, the choice is 2000 Server. -Original Message- From: Ken Y.

But I also had another idea: As I'm trying to make sure my code is platform-neutral, I'd like to try installing everything on the Windows platform as some people who download my app might try to do this.

Is there a specific XP server, or can I install Apache/mod_perl on the standard desktop OS? ky
