NYCPHP Meetup

[jessica kelly]

IIS is a four letter word as far as I'm concerned. Also everyone needs to realize that as web/PHP developers we are often stuck with what we have, not what we would rather have. If IIS didn't have such a sordid security past we would be running it here and I would have absolutely no say in the matter. I wanted to put Linux on the server and they put Advanced Server 2000 on it. I scream, yet no one hears...

The site is for a very small community college and it gets very few, if any, concurrent hits on the PHP/MySQL portion of it and I have plenty of room for multiple users config wise.

I still think that Alan should use CGI instead of the module. It is flaky.

Thank's Guys
Jessica

Miss/Mrs. Jessiaca Kelly,

Better to use PHP and related softwares on Linux machine rather than on 
Microsoft based OSs :) ? This is like running your Ferrari car on Diesel 
rather than on Gas.I really wonder. Hard to change everything, once set up on Window's 
environment but "Better" to move on Linux.
Thanks,

I suggest running IIS and PHP on Windows 2000 Server, or Advanced Server.
There may be a couple configuration things you might want to look into...
(how many users at a time? etc, etc)
Also, you're going to want to look into MySQL's (or whatever other database
you're using) configuration, too... (again, amount of users at the same
time)...
Those are the only real obvious things I can think of, if I can come up with
anything else, I'll be sure to let you know.
Good luck.
-Brad.
