Windows Server 2003 + PHP + MySQL


Recommended Posts

Hey guys... just an inquiry.

Have any of you installed PHP 4.3.4 and MySQL 4.1 on a windows server 2003 box? I'm thinking about doing this, but don't want a ton of headaches and what not. If any of you have input, suggestions, or just experiences and examples they're all welcome here.

Thanks

There's nothing wrong with installing PHP on Windows Server 2003.

If you plan on using IIS then the information on how to install PHP is here:

I have installed the phpdev package on my win2k3 server and it works like a charm.

And I do recommend an apache webserver rather IIS.

Apache is ten times easier to configure and less picky. (yeah thats my opinion)

You can get the phpdev package at firepages.com.au

cool :D

I am going to keep IIS, tho, because i plan on using .NET too, and we all know that won't happen very well with an apache server. Yes, i know theres a GNU .NET package out there, but i think i'd prefer the real thing... at least for right now.

hey @ll

if ur looking for an good webserver go to http://apachefriends.org not just u get comlete pre configt packages no u get great support via forum and chat...

    • Good effort, but unfortunately not very useful in the real world, since it doesn't support UEFI - which is a major drawback. More than that, most PCs these days have Secure Boot enabled by default, so unless you're tech savvy, the average joe is not going to disable Secure Boot - which means automated Windows > Linux migration programs like this will not work. And if you're tech savvy enough to know how to disable Secure Boot, then you're tech savvy enough to just flash a USB drive and install Linux the usual way - after all, the actual installation process is just point-and-click. So I don't see a use case here to be honest, especially considering the lack of UEFI support - especially when you consider that more and more Linux distros are completely dropping BIOS support (eg Fedora dropped it back in 2022). So this program is a bit too late to the party.
    • I agree with open rights group that the age check companies should be regulated but action does need to be taken imo, they may be called irresponsible parents but the fact is that many don't know how to set up blocks. Why should kids suffer because their parents don't know something? I think the UK has always been a bit like this. We don't say healthcare is your responsibility, we tax everyone and make people register with the NHS. We also don't expect everyone to brush their teeth to maintain dental health, we just put fluoride in their water assuming people aren't brushing enough, because some probably aren't or aren't doing it properly. In general, this way of doing things works.
