Hey ghettocars!

Did you by any chance come across that tutorial regarding "setting up a server" that you mentioned in a couple of posts?

If so, would you mind posting its website location?

Hope you can find it. Take care.

Thanks in advance.

Personally I'd set up a Linux server for that. If you go for RedHat or Mandrake (which I use) all you need is to select the packages during the Installation and it works fine without any configuring.

Under Windows it's not that hard either, I did that last year and as far as I can remember both, the Apache and the MySQL package came with a quite good installation-manual.
