<p>hi all</p>
<p>does anybody know of any good free web server programs i can download that actually work? it has to atleast support asp.net OR php (or both lol). the reason i'm asking on here is because i've found heaps of them but most that i found are near impossible to setup up. i did however find one that was as easy as 123! but it has one problem... it tends to forget my admin password every few weeks, and i can't reset it or anything so i have to backup everything, uninstall and then reinstall it all over again.</p>

<p>Making it run ASP.NET and PHP does involve a little bit of tinkering (better read the docs), but after that it seems to run okay for personal use.</p>
