[FX.php List] PHP software installation manual vs. FMP Adv. Server

[Vargas, Steve E]

Hello,

Is there a differences between a FileMaker Pro advanced server running PHP code where the PHP software was manually installed and sits right under the C: drive of a Windows server, and that of a FMP Advanced server running PHP code where the PHP software was installed during the configuration and installation of the FMP Advanced server, where the PHP software is now located several directories down from the root directory?

One server is configured with FMP Advanced server 11.03, Windows 2008 server, and PHP version 5.0. The PHP software was installed via FMP Advanced Server installation.

The other server is a legacy platform with the manual installation of PHP software.

Are there difference development wise, app performance, and app maintenance?


Thanks,
Steve
