Ive been using the Apache2Triad software, which you can download here. This seems to have been a good package for me so far. It comes with Apache, MySQL, PHP, Python, and a variety of other tools, and it isnt all that difficult to configure.

It important to note that just because you are home user and you don't pay for a static IP doesn't mean you don't already have one. I have Comcast and my IP hasn't changed in over a year. I serve all kinds of stuff from my box at home.

If you want a server up quick and easy, search for easy PHP. It's an AMP package that gives you Apache, PHP, and Mysql in one bundle. One EXE install. Great for someone who just wants something up quickly.

Since it was a July post, I'm betting there's been SOME resolution....

use xampp. it is appache mySQL PHP and Perl fairly preconfigured so you just need to set teh xampp software settings for secuirty and prefrences.

i would just say thoug,h that i didnt see anyone tell the guy that he would need to leave his laptop on(if he wanted a proper webserver). leaving a laptop on non-stop seems a bad idea.

Why not? As long as it has some ventilation it should be just fine. I've run webservers off of a broken (The screen) laptop and it works just fine.
