Integrating a server with website (Urgent HELP!)

[B&W]

Hi I need help adding a server (with security features) to a website/project I am working on.

Basically the concept is a game download/purchase website similar to www.direct2drive.com

Requirements:

Serverside:

Download game files and patches. ie, .iso, .exe
Security (authentication, authorisation)

User account management.
Payment system for the games.

Security, so only the user who payed for game x can download it. Will require username/password for client login.

Ok, so we need a interface. This will be the website that we are designing. The next thing is the servers that will host our content, I need to find out what server system to use (IIS, apache, etc) and how to implement it so it will work with our website.

I don't need to get the website online or register a domain name, I need to demonstrate that the system is working on a SINGLE machine.

The main problems I am having is integrating the site with a server, finding a user management system with secure login and a payment/purchase system.

So finally to make it clear I can use ANY freely available applications to achieve the above, however my platform is limited to Windows and it all must be done on one single machine.

Really am totally unsure what exactly you are asking for here mate.

I am assuming you want some local server app like WAMP to provide a local server installation on your development machine so that you can test the website as though it were a live site.

If you are coding in .NET you can use IIS

If you are coding in something like PHP try

This maybe isn't what your after at all but your first post was very unclear.
