Good uses for old Macs - Page 9

I'm using my iMac G3 233MHz currently with 96MB RAM as my web server via MacHTTP. I'm thinking of upgrading my internet connection if I can do this web hosting service. I know it it won't be that fast but I think it would be OK for beginners.

Is there any possible way to serve PHP files on Mac OS 8?

That I know of, no. I think I did mention that earlier in this thread. You would probably have to install OS X, a PPC port of GNU/Linux, or a PPC port of the free BSDs. That way, you could use Apache which does support PHP.
