Nobody is making you run IIS6 on windows... We are also fully windows right now and are running the configuration I've described. Apache runs very happily on windows and arguably better then IIS. Unless you need any IIS specific features (ASP, Integrated Auth) which Apache might not be able to provide, you should give it a try.
You do not need to set up any sort of network drive mappings. UNC paths work just fine in Apache, as long as both Apache and Jrun are running as users that have proper access to the shares (and the file permissions to have the access to the files). I'm not sure if you can do it in IIS, but UNC paths work just fine in Apache, with no need to mess with the jrun-web.xml. Russ > -----Original Message----- > From: Eric A.
