[FX.php List] Windows/Apache instead of Windows/IIS

[Steve Winter]

Hi Jonathan,

I'm not really sure what your question is...??

If you're looking for 'endorsements', then I highly recommend  
following the FMWebschool instructions and moving to Apache on  
Win2003... it's simpler, the configuration is transparent, and many of  
the modules/instructions/concepts that are developed for *nix based  
systems (including OS X) 'just work', rather than having to be  
interpreted and mucked with to work under the IIS nightmare...

As I'm sure you can tell I'm not a fan of IIS, and was extremely  
disappointed that FM pulled support for FMS on linux... these days  
with OS X as a credible alternative, that's my preference, however  
when the comparatively lower cost of a windows based server pushes  
clients towards that platform I still go with the Apache alternative...

YMMV...

Cheers
Steve
