morph Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I used to have a pc with software on it that allowed me to develop a web application/site on a machine on Lan, which was not visible to the WWW. Basically all the work was done and tested off line before publishing it to web hosting server. I cannot remember how this was achieved and the PC concerned is long gone Can anyone suggest a shareware method of doing this, ideally with MSQL support. This is not for a business application so hoping there is a free solution for doing this without buying a commercial license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james.wilson Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Agree with Aaron. Fairly sure the serif sw does this. But you could install apache on the local machine too securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

alterEGO Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I did ours on webplus a few years ago, needs an overhaul now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I'm just about to use webplus for our site - and yes there is a 'local preview' feature so you can see the site on your browser, which is reassuring. So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morph Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share Posted July 6, 2013 Thanks for the replies, I am not looking to design a website, just want to set up a web server. Its so that I can test some software before I deploy it the real www. I can either use a standalone computer and add whatever need to create the artificial www or use my laptop.

MrHappy Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 might be barking up the wrong tree but theres something you can enable on a window xp machine like attached image & you can add your files to folder & they appear in the same manner as if you where to host the site?

Lwillis Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Why not just create it and then point your browser to the folder name and file name? C:\mywebsite\home.html. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
