IIS is built into Windows Vista. Just turn it on. PHP, mySQL and even phpMyAdmin are all easy to set up. It's just always something you don't expect, in this case not expecting 32-bit DLLs to be turned off by default, that trips you up. Also, I recently found out that on Vista 64-bit the windows system32 directory is for 64 bit DLLs and the sysWOW64 directory is for 32 bit DLLs. Sort of the opposite of what the names indicate. That may also, without my knowing, have caused some of my problems. And it isn't just a simple copy and paste for me. There are a lot of files, especially when you've got WordPress and bbPress both integrated into the site. And I will be adding other tools, such as phpList for my Behold News Newsletter when I start it up again. Actually, setting up a server is simple. IIS is built into Windows Vista. Just turn it on.

Just point your files and the database to your PHP directory on the remote server, and you're done. I always do that when I'm testing dynamic pages for customers.

But for major revisions, I don't want to mess with a working system and live databases while testing or developing. One option would be to duplicate the database and pages in a private place on the site and play with that. But that's really no different than doing it on my own machine, is it?
