Stunnix Advanced Web Server, with its core based on world's leading and famous and flexible Apache Web Server, is designed for putting any site that uses Perl, mod_perl, PHP (php4 and php5), Tomcat (Java), Python (mod_python) for scripting and MySQL or SQLite databases to CD, DVD or USB.

Such CDROM, once put to tray, will run webserver itself, MySQL server and PHP, Perl, Python and Java interpreters directly off CDROM and will open a browser window with site in it.

Users of Windows can use such compact disk for accessing www site stored on it, without installing anything to their computer and without having any connection to the Internet.

Stunnix Advanced Web Server is designed for putting any site to CD, DVD or USB.
