Sounds like the start of a shooting match, but here's my preference given your options:
-Windows Server 2003 -Apache -MySQL Why Apache/MySQL instead of IIS/SQL Server? I am different than most on this list, but I prefer free and open source. I have been burnt too many times by using software that becomes defunct merely because the original company is now gone or no longer supporting it. And it can even happen to someone as big as Microsoft. Look how big IBM's OS/2 and Lotus were in the 80s. Now their almost extinct. If your platform is open source, at least you can pay someone to come fix it for you if things go down. You don't have that option with proprietary/closed source systems when the original company folds and takes all their support/source code with them. > -----Original Message----- > From: Pete [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2006 7:16 AM > > 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
