To find out if IIS is running, you can follow the following steps : Start --> Run --> services.msc [enter] This will pull up a list of services running on your system, where you can check the status of Apache and IIS.

Where did you *learn* the services.msc command? How and where can I know these kind of commands and Windows internal stuff? Please advise.

Well, I don't remember to be honest. I know that .msc is the extension for "Microsoft Console". These are all the snap-ins that are available to the mmc (Microsoft Management Console).

I have a tutorial that might help you out. You can find it at my website (in the signature). Here is the direct link : http://www.meidomus.com/node/view/3 Post a comment there, or you can email me if you have another question. :)

Very nice web site! I like it.

Thanks

I'm so curious: do you code html yourself for the whole web site OR do you use any tool like Dreamweaver or Frontpage?

No, the HTML is done without the use of a wysiwyg editor.

Do you host the web site your self or pay for the hosting company?

I pay to have it hosted.

In addititon to PHP, JavaScript and MySQL, what other technologies do you use to create the web site?

Drupal (which provides a OOP backend) http://www.drupal.org I used drupal as a framework and then expanded on that to build some modules. Fireworks (minor image manipulation) http://www.macromedia.com/products/fireworks CSS for layout http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS http://glish.com/css Email me off list if you have any other questions :) -- Burhan Khalid phplist[at]meidomus[dot]com http://www.meidomus.com
