Pointing towards a website

I want to point my sql server to my webserver so that the information will pass to it.  Not sure how to do this, we have a company that does all that for us already.  I want to do it for a test environment before I send the finished product to them for production.  Any easy walkthrus?  The ones I have found to this point are not the easiest to follow.  I assume I could install an apache web server on the box with the test sql server?

Can you explain what you want to point? do you want to replicate the data to a web server or something?

Well I would try it with ASP.NET. There really are different ways of achieving this, you could use SQL ENDPOINT, Web services etc, or direct SQL but this is really only for testing. The best thing would be SQL ENDPOINTS. But now I see SQL Server 2000, so web services are one choice.

I believe so.  The current site pulls the data from the sql server as far as customers, accounts, payments ect...  I want the test one to do the same.
bashka_abdyli: heh everything you just said means nothing to me as I'm not experienced with this at all, sorry.  What I was looking for is a beginners guide of how to set it up.  Do you know of any good resources?
