Curious George: Hosting my own web site, kind of. I'm creating a website for a family friend's business. Very simple, just several pages of information and downloadable CVs (Resumes). I'm using PHP to reduce the workload, by running EasyPHP on my Windows XP SP2 machine. This is an easy way to install and run Apache, PHP and MySQL. I'm on ADSL, with no router, just a USB modem. I need my customer to look at the site and give me comments on the design. They don't live nearby, so I want to be able to give them an IP address, and then they can look at the site live on my machine. How do I set up Apache, the firewall and so on? Security is important. Does anyone know of a better way of letting them see it?
