DWebPro (Dynamic Web Server) is a stand-alone web-server, designed to be used on read-only CD/DVD distributions. It comes with support for CGI, ISAPI, MySQL, external software and an integrated SMTP Server. Using the server allows to to create dynamic CD presentations and web sites that are not limited to simple page display, but can include just about anything that is supported by the scripting languages. The program is poorly documented and unless you are somewhat familiar with a web server you will probably be lost. We tested it and burned a couple CDs using a test site with PHP scripts and it was working well (we did not test any other scripting languages). Additional features include a customizable splash screen and tray icon, and a compiler to encode PHP scripts. Any of the supported scripting engines must be downloaded separately. DWebPro is free for personal use.
