I've been asked to run a web server from my home. the only computer i have that runs 24/7 is my WG server... can I run apache on the same server that's running WG? How do i disable the web server part of worldgroup?

if it turns out this works the way I want it to, it'll make it easier for us to run a web site for the bbs in the long run too. I just really don't want to run the web server that's part of WG...

Thanks!

You can run it on same machine. Just run apache on another tcpip port like 81 or 8080 search the forums for more info on optional port #s below are the standard ports WG uses.

port 23 telnet
port 80 web/http
port 443 https
port 21 ftp
port 53 dns
port 25 smtp

Do you not like the wg web interface? You can do alot with it. To disable it just go to offline utilities then add remove modules. You can enable/disable any wg module easily from there.

You will need a very powerfull computer to this on as apache uses a great deal of system resources.

use Microsoft IIS, uses little to no resources and very configurable.
