I'm not sure if this has been made clear to you, but by running WAMP you were in fact running a full-blown webserver. Apache (the "A" in WAMP and LAMP) is a webserver, and a good one at that. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAMP_(software_bundle) for more info. > Does such a utility exist for use with debian (or something > similar) ? > > I've read about LAMP but cant find it in the repositories :-/ Yes and no, You already have "L" and now you just need "AMP". The WAMP package you used probably contained Apache 2.0.59, PHP 5.2.0, and MySQL 5.0.27. Linux people are a little strange in that we don't like software bundles, we want to control each piece of software and may want to use something different. On Debian Etch you would need to install apache2, php5, mysql-client, and mysql-server, and possibly others that you find helpful. In fact, if you are not using MySQL then save yourself some work and don't install it. -Steve -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
