I like to use a WAMP server (like xAMPP or UniServer) because I had trouble getting all of the individual services to work (maybe it's Windows 7?). WAMP servers seemed to work effectively. Also, I like the administration panel, which makes it very nice to use. Not only that, but the WAMP servers seem to configure everything correctly for me, which is nice. I think I know the main issue, though. I cannot access my own network using the external ip address AT&T gave me. Thus, I cannot use localhost:80 as the listener for NetworkActiv WebServer, because I cannot access localhost from outside my network. So, looking through the scripts of UniServer, I came across one variable that I found interesting: $root It is not defined in either configuration php scripts (/home/admin/www/includes/config.inc.php or /unicon/main/includes/config.inc.php) It's not even declared in php.ini. If I can find that variable, which is supposed to direct to "/", not "/www/", then I canprobably find the problem. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with my external ip address or localhost problems. If you have any ideas/ software I can use besides this, without having to install every individual thing myself (php(myadmin), pegasus, mysql, etc), then put them forward. I'd like something similar to a WAMP server, but customizable. I'm open to anything, really. I just want something running and working (and remotely accessable if possible). If I have to install individual parts, then I'll do that. Still, my main point is that I want something running, under the NettworkActiv server. EDIT: I can't believe this, but I didn't think of cPanel. What an idiot I am. lol There are a few cPanel alternatives, and they are free. Why didn't I think of this before xD. But, I will have to install everything myself... oh well. Still, I am open to suggestions if you have them. EDIT 2: Scratch that. I spoke too soon. All the alternatives are either for Linux only, or are outdated for Windows. It looks like I'm at a dead end. All I want is an administrative back-end to manage everything, but I guess it's not too bad if I have to link to the folders myself. If you know anything that will work for me, please let me know. Man, why can't someone create a panel for Windows? How bad is that? I'm taking Programming next semester. Maybe I'll create it myself. I've been studying PHP, so maybe I can create something some day that'll work. And it'll be free.

I am running Windows 7 (yeah, it's funny, I know), and Apache does not particularly like to run very well in 7. I can get it to run using a tutorial I found through Google, but I am not particularly impressed with the security. I want to use NetworkActiv Web Server, because it's security and logging is top-notch, and Apache is just so...limited. I have added a full, updated (5.3) install of PHP into "%root%/usr/local/php/". I have successfully gotten NetworkActiv to load the web root "%root%/www/" as the root directory of the server, and added an alias, "apanel" to "%root%/home/admin/www/", so it is just the same as the regular UniServer (w/ Apache) install, or so I thought. One problem I found is that whenever I try to access some specific folders (mysql or phpmyadmin), it will not load. Apparently my folder structure for my server is incorrect. I tried setting the root directory as "%root%", and that didn't work either. Any tips? I used to use xAMPP, until I got frustrated because its installation does not work well with NetworkActiv apparently. Thanks in advance.
