Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP dll on NT - more reliable with Apache than IIS?
We have started using PHP on NT over Apache, but since our ISP used IIS we
switched to it. Anyway, we just started having real problems after our
application got really big, so that I cannot really compare Apache x IIS on
NT very well (our errors started happening on IIS if I recall correctly).
And you are right, CGI version is much more stable: our application has even
crashed IIS on our ISP (and thus all other clients websites as well went
down...) when running PHP as ISAPI. We asked the ISP to configure PHP as CGI
for our virtual host only, did the same test and got an error but all the
sites still were running fine, ours as well.
I believe you should do some tests over apache, it is really easy to
install. And relating to IIS, CGI is definetly more stable. You could anyway
consider moving to Linux or UNIX. The developers of PHP seem also to be much
more prolific in relation to this world, for obious reasons... But in my
opinion, as a commercial product in a production environment I would say
that PHP over Windows is definetly not the better choice.

(The most common problem is HTTP 500 internal server error which disappears
if page is refreshed). This is apparently not too surprising given the
current status of the ISAPI module. So I have switched to using CGI, which
seems absolutely fine, but is noticeably slower.
