Setting up Mac web servers is going to be a problem since Macs are rarely used as web servers in the commerical environment. I'm sure someone out there has some info on this. On PC (preferably NT) it's pretty straight forward. First you need to get a web server, either IIS/PWS(which supports ASP)from Microsoft or Apache Web Server and then install PHP and maybe a database server for database-driven websites (either mySQL or use built-in windows ODBC drivers with Microsoft Access).
