Bery, other web dorks, I need help.

Posted by Dr.Vermin (aka Dr.Vermin) Jun 19 '09, 10:22

My IT guy is looking to move our hosted website inhouse. He's asking me if there would be any problem moving the site from a Linux box to an IIS box. The site is just html, a lot of Flash, some javascript, and a couple of php files.

I have no idea. I'm the 'make it pretty' guy, not the 'make it run' guy. I have zero experience on setting these things up on the server side.

Your thoughts?

Responses:

your site should run fine, but like bery I'm rather anti-microsoft for anything server related. -- nm - decline Jun 19, 10:29 1
- M$ has it's place, but if you're just going to run websites o nhte box, why not use Open Suse or Fedora and skip the expense of the OS license? - Scorpion Jun 19, 10:35
I dispute Bery's dislike of IIS. But you should know that PHP does not work "out of the box". You need to get the Windows PHP package. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 19, 10:25 2
- If I was the sole administrator of the IIS installation I detest, rather than a hosting provider undertaking that role, it wouldn't be an issue. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 10:25 1
  - (Even then, however, I prefer to run Apache under Windows rather than IIS) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 10:26
I fucking HATE iis. It's technically compatible, though. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 10:23 3
- (In fact, PHP is somewhat easier to deal with on Windows, when you're administrating your own server; all the extended libraries can be added in at - Beryllium Jun 19, 10:24
- Is the lack of bold on our names in messages a bug or a feature? -- nm - nubby Jun 19, 10:24 1
  - I've been noticing that in Chrome, when viewing IMs. Not in Firefox. Weird. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 10:24
