Publisher's description of Xerver Free Web Server

From Xerver:

Xerver Free Web Server is a tiny fast web server allowing you to run CGI scripts on your computer. Xerver also includes an FTP server. Xerver is GNU GPL open source software and contains many advanced features. A brief feature list: Run scripts (Perl, PHP etc.), create aliases (virtual directories), allow/deny directory listing, create your own error pages ("404 Not Found"), allow/deny CGI-scripts, password protected folders, choose your own index file extensions, share/unshare hidden files or files with certain file extensions, share unlimited folders etc. Xerver is a tiny, fast and free Web server, but is still advanced and supports HTTP/0.9, HTTP/1.0, HTTP/1.1 and all HTTP methods (GET, POST and HEAD).

Version 4.32 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

Version: Xerver Free Web Server 4.32

"Good, Basic Web Server. Easy installation and setup."

by keithlol on August 16, 2008

Pros: By far the easiest web server to install and setup. The installation/setup wizard is straightforward. A web server can be difficult to set up for the novice... even for the expert in fact. Documentation is clear and understandable for the novice and first time user of a Web server. A great web server for the price! (free) Tech support was fast to respond to a question I had via e-mail. A package like this and the support is seldom seen in this day and time; even with software costing hundreds of dollars. I tip my hat to the author of this package.

Cons: I needed a simple server for offline development of Perl applications. Although Xerver does a fine job of running Perl scripts via submitted forms, it has no support for running scripts via SSI (server side include.) I would recommend this web server for those who wish to serve up their personal web pages/site on the web. However, for business use, a more complex server should be used. More features are needed and the security of this web server has not been tested by me personally.
