In a shared hosting environment, the point is moot since you touch the web server via the ISPs web based interface.

Agreed -- this is a silly aspect of the discussion. Both are easy enough to script if you understand how to configure them. I doubt the crux of the client's decision between LAMP nd CF/MS-SQL is how easy the web server is to configure :) Ironically, it's also barely even germane since you can easily run the CF/MS-SQL combination with Apache. Or the MP part of the stack on Windows, at least as long as "P" is Perl or PHP (I can't speak to Python). > Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software > http://www.figleaf.com/ -- John Paul Ashenfelter CTO/Transitionpoint (blog) http://www.ashenfelter.com (email) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
