Hello,
I would like to build my own WAP site. Is there a way where I can host it MYSELF?
With regular website, I can just install the webserver software, have DSL line, domain name and I am good to go. Does this also apply with WAP site? i.e. have WAPServer, etc.
Thanks.

If you want to host the WAP pages yourself, I would recomend that you download and install the Apache server (http://www.apache.org/) which by default is set up to server WAP pages (.wml)
It runs on Linux and Windows platform. I use it myself as a development server on Windows

There's nothing different between a web server and a WAP server. Everyday ordinary web servers (such as Apache) can serve wml pages. You just need to make sure that the correct mime types are defined.
Do a search on google for "wml apache mime types" and you should get all the info you need.
PS it's better of you're running on some kind of *nix variant rather than windows.

Thanks guys!
I didn't know Apache can host WAP site! I have everything to host my site except Apache.
I use Netscape Enterprise.
I will give it a shot on Apache. BTW, is there any "special" configuration that I need to be aware of to make the WAP site work? For example, if I create a virtual site like wap.mydomain.com.

Hey Xmob,
I read through Apache docs from their site and there are no reference about WML or WAP hosting. Which version are you using? I only see v. 1.3 or 2.0
Cheers!

In your httpd.conf file you need to add:
Code:
AddType text/vnd.wap.wml .wml
AddType text/vnd.wap.wml .swml
AddType text/vnd.wap.wmlscript .wmls
AddType text/vnd.wap.wml .wmlsc
AddType image/vnd.wap.wbmp .wbmp
AddType text/x-vmel .mel
It might also be a good idea to add index.wml to your DirectoryIndex setting.
Hope this helps.

Do you? I thought the WAP specific mime-types was already included in the new releases of version 1.3 and 2

Ok, I'll rephrase it:
You need to make sure the above entries are in your httpd.conf file, if not, add them.
