That does not prove anything.

You could be an undead. Or maybe you personality was absorbed by an AI that evolved in an out of control Botnet. Hey if the machines on a Botnet are Zombies and your personality was absorbed by an AI that evolved on it you're a Zombi AI with the personality of a human. Your writings are probably a lure.

You're after our brains!

Aieeee ....

Thanks for sharing :)

Windows 7 by default requires 128-bit encryption for SMB. You have to disable that in the Network and Sharing Center advanced options before it will deign to talk to XP.

As to running Linux on top of Windows, the most elegant way to do that is CoLinux. It's not a VM, it's user-mode Linux. You get at least 95% the performance of running it on bare hardware this way. I wouldn't use it as a permanent server, but it is handy to fiddle with things.

The XP box is used as a broadcast platform for a shoutcast stream, and Apache serves the webform for taking listener requests. He was trying to share some large work-related files with a remote colleague, basically one-shot, roll this and then delete it afterward. Rather than copy all the files over to the XP box from his main (and somewhat more secured) Windows 7 system, he was hoping he could SMB-mount the share from 7 on XP and then serve the directory.

Wound up just copying the files to XP so apache could serve them out of a local directory. There's a lot of ways he could have tossed the files over, he just figured this'd be easy since he already had apache up and running for his radio show.

On a server you want to keep patches current so NO windows server can be operated continuously. XAMPP is nice for some light development work but IMO the best way to do Apache on windows is to install a VM Product and run the server in a *nix VM. Share the folder to the local machine with samba so you can do editing and whatever you need to do with the files on windows.

Allows to set up exactly the same environment as on the target host too.

XP is a horrible choice for anything server-y. Don't forget that it still has the 10 half-open TCP connection limit (7 doesn't, Vista lost it with SP2). And of course, like all desktop Windows flavors, it hates to be operated continuously without rebooting for long periods. But yeah, there's no way in hell I'd ever want to run Apache on Windows. That's just begging for pain.

Also, why exactly would you want to put the Apache root on a remote drive anyways? I just can't see any good reason for that.

We both agreed, however, that it's far simpler on a linux box. Mount the share into any directory, point apache at that directory, blam no problem. Windows 7 provides a utility to do this. XP sort of does, there's an app in the resource kit, but it's restricted to local links only. No network.
