Stunnix Advanced Web Server, by using Apache's codebase, is designed for putting any Perl/PHP/MySQL/SQLite-based website on CDROM, that once put to tray will run off CDROM (including webserver itself, MySQL and PHP/Perl interpreters) and will open a browser with site in it on Windows, MacOS X and Linux from that single CDROM, without requiring installation of any software to user's computer. It also allows to make any website into usual desktop applications with installer.

This allows to greatly reduce costs of development of desktop applications or of CDROMs with presentations and catalogues - since development using web technologies is much cheaper and allows to deliver the products to users of all major desktop operating systems. Stunnix Advanced Web Server uses a lot of advanced technologies to make websites run under it to feel responsive like usual desktop applications do.

Stunnix Advanced Web Server uses Apache codebase, supports Apache's configuration files and even modules, so no porting is required from Apache - neither for code, nor for configuration files. No testing is required either.

The database files, versions of Perl and PHP interpreters and of MySQL server, included for all major desktop operating systems, will run off CDROM, without even hidden installation to the user's computer.

Any CGI scripts are also supported. Mod-perl is also available. All HTTP standards are supported, including GET, POST, If-Modified-Since, PATH_INFO. Server-Side Includes are also supported.
