Freaking huge web application works on current platform (150MB of code - is that like 5 or 6 million lines? I hope I'm reading that wrong). 2. Suits make unilateral decision to use a new (and imho, sub-par) web server. 3. When problems arise, rather than go back to what works, your boss wants to rewrite the aforementioned freaking huge web application. > So, the question: > Since I have followed every single tutorial I could find on the web > about installing Cake on IIS for the last 3 days (this includes me > testing if I could just put Apache on Windows which does not work) I > really have no other choice but to switch frameworks. Sounds to me like what you need to consider switching... is your job. Honestly. Execs that make really bad decisions, and a boss that wants to keep them happy by ditching a year plus of code? I don't think the choice of PHP framework is the problem. :) > Does anyone know of a pretty close match to CakePHP that WILL work > with IIS? Doesn't have to have rewrite.

I suppose short term you might want to hire someone who can consult on that–or offer more details–but seriously. Make someone over there see some reason. $0.02 -- John --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
