  1. I apologize, I've looked more into HFS. I assumed it was just another shitty server that was trying to be like Apache/lighttpd.

    If you are using it for that specific purpose I say it's a great idea! So, yeah, I'd look into more information on DNS servers and if you get stuck somewhere come back here -- DNS servers are not currently my specialty, but I'm sure someone can help.

  2. If I used Apache then wouldn't I have to manually write every page and update all the files on my own?

    What do you mean? Are you saying you don't want to drag and drop a file into the htdocs directory? Since you're on a local network then just save it directly into it, or use an FTP client to automatically upload the new file whenever it has been touched (modified).

    I'm just trying to build a simple file server that manages files automatically and has its own side scripting and this one seems to do it well . . .

    Can you explain further? I don't understand what you mean by this.

    Why do you not like HFS? Because it's hard to support or because it just sucks?

    Those two go together, usually.

    I know HFS can't do virtual servers but I was wondering if some other program could or if I could somehow use Apache over it, with one host that references HFS on another port on the main domain and then another virtual server that references my other computer on the subdomain.

    You could probably do that I guess, you'd need a DNS server. I've never used a Windows DNS server.

    BTW as for web design I know some XHTML (Transitional) and CSS and the very basic basics of javascript and that's about it.

    Yeah but that doesn't have to do with the server.

  3. Why not? Let me try and explain this (keep in mind I'm just trying to help)...

    There are two main web servers that people use. There's Apache, and there's lighttpd. People use these two web servers because they are the best and they are well supported. They aren't the most popular web servers for no reason.

    It's very hard to support you if you're using some obscure web server that is really unpopular and is only made for Windows, and the website suggests using it in Wine if you're on Linux... I suggest installing XAMPP and going from there.

    Also, your knowledge of web design has absolutely no affect on choosing a server. The server cannot help you become a better web designer.
