Which servers have you used? Is there one in particular that you would like to
use? The configuration is usually different for each one.

Not that I have anything against Linux, but Apache runs quite well on Windows
these days. It is what I have been using for almost two years now on Win95 and
then Win98. But it does require more than its share of configurations. The
upside is that there are more of us to guide you through it.
First, which servers have you tried?
