How about a forum for localhost issues

I would like to see a forum specifically for localhost issues. I am trying to set up a system that I can use to test my PHP scripts before loading them up to the website server. I'm not trying to setup a server for internet access. This arrangement has all kinds of issues of its own. For instance; I need a SMTP processor so I can have the pages send mail, but I don't want a great big program, it needs to be small, and how do you set it up so it is just for local stuff. Same with the server, PHP processor, etc.
What do you think? A separate forum just for localhost issues?

We've got the "Apache, IIS, Webservers" forum, I'd stick other server questions in there.

i'm pretty sure you'll find a smtp server (win32 or linux) pretty fast, even for free or you could use the one of your ISP.
don't see why localhost would be different than any other host.

Agree with this. There are issues and differences with running projects locally before uploading them live. But I do belive that it doesn't qualify as to creating another forum.
If this should be added, we should aswell add forums for different architectures, OS's (Win->98->NT->W2k->XP..., *nix->*BSD->Sun) aso. aso. But the same applies here. There is not enough in difference...
Asking any question, stating that "I run this locally behind NAT, using XP..." will give the ones looking at the post enough help.
We'll all (likely) been there once anyway...
