PHP/Apache/Windows



I am running a Win 2000 professional machine on my desk
(unfortunately) . I use Apache/PHP for test purposes, for running a
little intranet server, and I am going to have a student help me with
some coding.

Is there anything like the "nobody" id in UNIX where I can set apache
to run where it can't do too much damage?

thanks.

Yes. Create a Windows user account with limited privileges, and set the
Apache service to "Run as" that account.

I'm developing with CF 5 and SQL Server 2000. I think they are both great products. The major draw is their cost.

If you are using this product, how do you like it? What are you using for a front end? I'd like to move toward developing software that...

I have read about the "mod_mono" module for Apache that allows .NET applications to run on Apache, but this seems to only work with Apache on Linux, not Windows. Anyone have success with...
