We've had plenty of problems with IIS5 on Win2k. Most times, there appears to be a simple solution, but it only applies to IIS6, which requires Win2003. So, if you're going Win2003 then IIS is probably fine. Though I've had zero problems with a regular Apache+CF configuration, so I'd probably still recommend that anyway.
I don't have sufficient experience with MSSQL to comment on that. (For my personal server, I'll planning to use Linux+Tomcat+Railo+MySQL) HTH. :) Peter >Hi all > >Just wanted to try and get some thoughts on what people thought was the most >preferred setup. > >I have a new server that I am about to setup for hosting approx 20 different >CF based websites. > >I have both CF MX and CF MX 7 which I can install on the server. > >I can have either Windows Server 2000 or Windows Server 2003 as the OS and >therefore I could have IIS on the machine. > >Just wondering if IIS is really recommended or whether most people would go >for having Apache. > >As for databases, etc will probably go MySQL although I do have MSSQL 2000 >which I could have installed on the server if required. > >Thanks in advance for feedback. > >Peter ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:258683 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
