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.
