Hello all, I am doing some php work for a local company who uses a mac. I was telling them that I use apache as my webserver and they want to know what they can use as their webserver. I know nothing about Macs and don't think you an run apache but I may be all wrong...what do mac owners use for a webserver? Thanks, Eddie

My primary machine is a Mac OS X machine and I run Apache, whatever version you would like, PHP, MySQL and all of the other fun stuff. Plus I administer a couple xserves and of course they can run it all also. Now if you are using OS 9 then tell them they need to upgrade to OS X. OS 9 just has too many problems and shouldn’t be used as a webserver in my opinion.

Actually, to the best of my knowledge you cannot run a decent server on Mac OS < 10 (X), and certainly can't run PHP/MySQL, which is the main reason I upgraded to OSX. But if they're running anything less than a G4, Mac OSX may be too hungry?!? Justin
