I have been using a laptop that was given to me.It is loaded with Windows 98 se and I installed the .net framework and all the updates and packages to make as current as itpossibly can. I use it as testing environment for web sites for instructional purposes. I have been attempting to create database driven web sites with MS Frontpage, and the apache web server (2.0). However even though I have installed Front Page extensions and plaed all the work arounds recoomended by apache, I cannot get the server to accept the extensions. Similarly I have used cold fusion and have ran into the same problem. Both program insist that apache, cold fusion and Front Page is not supported by Windows 98. Is there a work around or patch? I also tried to use the microsoft personal web server to no avail. Does this mean that if a person is still using Windows 98 it will be impossible to publish their web site to an external server?

There are numerous ways of publishing files to a web server. No version of windows restricts your capability to follow any of these methods. Using personal web server will serve simple web sites no problem. If you are requiring advanced functionality I would suggest buy a server or sign up for some hosting with a provider on the web.
