No. Ask Winnetou! holli When you're up to your ass in alligators, it's difficult to remember that your original purpose was to drain the swamp.	[reply] [d/l]

Go for Apache 2.2.11:- http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi Although if you have any version of Vista that is above Home Premium you'll have a copy of IIS7 you can enable and use. I tend to use IIS7 on port 80, and install Apache on port 8080. Lyle	[reply]

What are you requirements for Apache? Its quite difficult to suggest a version, other than the current one, if we do not know any of your requirements. I would suggest reading the feature lists for the different releases of Apache. Apache 2.2 Apache 2.0 Apache 1.3 UPDATE You can ignore 1.3, if you are indeed running this in Windows, as it is *nix only.	[reply]

I'd say the best one would be which ever one you are able to install! I can't speak about how well Apache installs under Windows now but I had a heck of a time with 1.3 and 2.0 ages ago. I have always had great luck with XAMPP though.	[reply]
