What I've found is that if you're going to making a quick & dirty little dev environment on a personal machine and you're running Windows, then using IIS is just fine. It's extremely quick and easy to set up and it's easy to learn even if you don't know what you're doing and are making "educated guesses".
If you're setting up a production machine and you want reliability and you're going to be using languages like PHP, Perl and other non-Win32-native languages, then stick with Apache. It might take a bit more understanding of what you're doing to do it right, but it's a lot more reliable and offers better security and flexibility.

I think I am going to start configuring apache for my system. I ran it some time ago and it runs much faster than IIS in my application.... but it is going to be labour intensive converitng the sites, unless someone knows a converter from IIS to apache Jon -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
