Thus wouldn't using Apache on Windows also solve this problem? Apache does run on Windows. Is it that nobody bothers to run Apache on Windows?

RTFA, they barely talked about IIS, more about the build process for windows, and the external libraries used.


What does that statement have to do with the question he asked? Nothing.

Yes, PHP runs happily on Apache for Windows. No need to use IIS, unless your company is a Microsoft partner/Microsoft certified org/Windows certified or whatever - then you're probably tied to IIS to keep the accreditation (guessing - correct me if I am wrong.)

You don't have to use IIS as the webserver under Windows, unless you need ASP and the like.

If you run PHP on Windows under Apache then most, if not all, of those issues disappear. Thus, running PHP on Windows is not a problem at all. They just chose to ignore the most obvious solution.Edited 2009-08-01 23:26 UTC Sat, 01 Aug 2009 23:26:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (segedunum) Comments
