Re: I NEED HELP WITH PWS AND W98

I've been running Apache on 98SE (I agree - DON'T ASK!) for most of this year without ny issues at all. Win98needs reboots a few times a week, but it's not Apache's problem. I also run PHP4.0.6 and 4.0.8-dev and MySQL 3.23.43 and they all work and play well together. Just to keep my sanity, I also run a linux server too :). It helps me knowing that computers aren't supposed to have to be rebooted to keep them stable! -- Gaylen gfraley5@earthlink.net http://www.gaylenandmargie.com PHP KISGB v2.1 Guestbook http://www.gaylenandmargie.com/phpwebsite "Richard S.

The documentation is easy to read. I would agree with trying Apache on your Win98 box; but be warned that the current Apache release is only supposed to be stable on NT platforms. Since I have win2k it's not an issue for me, but it might now work on Windows 98.
