+primortal Subscriber² Posted June 20, 2002 Subscriber² Share Posted June 20, 2002 I think you can run both at the same time, just different ports. For a good asp discussion board see here it will run on either ms access db or SQL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterHammer Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 Lezend, you gotta be crazy to run IIS if you do not know what you are doing. The thing is very insecure, and you will make your system vulnerable to the next attack perpetrated by Malaysian teenagers on the MS empire. If you are not going to use ASP, stay away from IIS is my recommendation. Yes apache is a little harder, but it is also the best out there. If you want to run PHP and MySQL, all you need is a simple webserver, not a bloated OS extension like IIS. If you are scared of command line and conf files, I suggest you use the IBM branded version of Apache which comes with a neat and easy to understand Web GUI for administration. It makes learning the ins and outs of conf files a breeze. Get it at: IBM HTTP server site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
