> how to install Xitami to run as a service.

Install the Service version.

It is usually that easy: the Installer asks you and you tell it to
Install As Service. But sometimes you have to do it manually, which
means going into the Dark Place (DOS or CMD window). As a LAN-man,
you need to do this sometimes.

In a Command Prompt window, CD to the Xitami folder, then find the
Xitami EXE file. Mine seems to be called "xiwinnt.exe" Type its name
with -h after it to see all command options, or with -i to Install
as Service. (You will need Admin-level rights to install a service).

> xiwinnt -h
Xitami web server v2.4d9 (c) 1991-99 iMatix
read the file COPYING for details.  Type xiwinnt -h for help.
