This presentation outlines how to set up a personal web server using XAMPP, ideal for family or personal projects. XAMPP stands for Cross-Platform Apache, MySQL, Python, and Perl, and includes an FTP server (FileZilla) for easy file uploads. The guide covers the necessary tools, such as a computer and router, and takes about 10-20 minutes to complete. Key steps include downloading and installing XAMPP, enabling port forwarding (ports 80, 443, 21), confirming ISP compatibility, securing your FTP server, and testing from a remote computer.
