Hi Gary, Where I work we use Windows2000/Apache/MySQL/PHP in development and Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP in production. We move any database stuff via mysqldump with no problems what so ever. BTW, the reason we went with Linux in production is that MySQL performance seems to be vastly superior on Linux, at least for the Web applications we are running on the hardware we are running. If at all possible, I would suggest you do some timing tests with both Linux and Windows and see which works better for you.

Hi all, I have PHP & MySQL installed on a Win2000/IIS system. I may be moving (due to requirements at work) to a Linux/Apache system in the near future. I'm wondering if it's a hassle, or even possible, to move the MySQL database from the windows/IIS box to the Linux/Apache box? Any corruption, or other problems associated with this type of move? Thanks! P.S. I also have the option of leaving Win2000 in place but switching to Apache service. Would this be "worth" it? In other words, would that setup be a better web server environment (for PHP & MySQL) than the Win2000/IIS setup? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
