Plus you probably want to stay away from PrimeBase for your server back-end (not multi-threaded). My suggestion would be to look at WebTen by Tenon (http://www.tenon.com/) This program basically runs a Unix operating system on top of the MacOS (kinda like VirtualPC, but better) This will allow you to run Apache (MUCH, MUCH better than Web*, having run both) with PHP and a database like MySQL. While it won't be as fast as running on say, a dedicated Linux box, it will work for smallish sites fine. Email if you need more specifics. BTW, we are a Mac company, so this is non-biased :) Mark -- Mark Garrett Web Developer/Info Sys Admin Nucleus Communications, Inc. http://www.nucleusinc.com/ Atlanta, GA (770) 805-0460
