  • Hi all.
    I am currently running my forums under Lynx & Apache but my host is offering Windows & IIS?

    Q: Is it worth swapping to IIS?
    Q: Can i just copy everything over?
    Q: Will all the links to MySQL still work?

    Anything else i need to know?

    Thanks for the help.
    And if this has been covered....sorry and please point me at the thread.

    Regards
    Dave.

    Actually just had another of those *BSD moments.

    Spent 3 days building latest Apache/Resin for a client on a BSD server. Had to arse about with non native SDK support only for the client to fail acceptamce testing due to poor bencmarks on his apps.

    I now have until 3pm GMT to build Apache/Resin on dead rat copy all the configs/war files to the new server and benchmark it :(

    BSD my hairy arse

    And you will never be able to get 100% of the functionality of Apache2 . . . .


  • Doesn't IIS have a user limit under Windows 2000 (not Server) or Windows XP Pro?

    Yes, only if you use like Windows 2000 or XP Pro. I have Windows 2000 Server so it is unlimited.

  • yup :)
    w2k is limited to 10 connections
    w2k Adv. Server is unlimited by default


  • What you don't by the "seats" any more ?


  • i'd stay with linux and apache and it's probably what i'd continue to recommend to others who ask

    I would just stay where you are. If you have no problems and know how everything works, why change?

    I use IIS and happen to like it. Never had a problem with the SMTP server not working or anything else. So far it's handling my forums just fine. Maybe once every 3-4 days I will get a data base error in email but that was on a busy thread, 30-40 replies in 5 minutes or some other reason.
