Apache vs IIS? I haven't got ASP.NET to work on Apache niether on my Windows Server not on my Linux Server so there for I would chose IIS. Not that Apache is bad but ASP.NET is far easier and faster to create good web forms in.
IIS is designed for ASP, or rather visa versa. I don't think you can run asp on Apache, but I could be wrong.
You can run asp on Apache server, and you can do that even on an Apache running on a Linux server. It's a bit more tricky to install Apache+asp on Linux than iis+asp on microsoft.


I am just hoping somebody can say "look here" for the differences in running php from IIS vs Apache. I guess it won't be so easy, though...
It's easier to say what could be wrong if seen the code and your iis settings.

PHP on a IIS server is rather easy to run once you install PHP on a PC but if you only use PHP why not use Apache for Windows. If you plan to use IIS then I ASP.NET and a database on the homepage then IIS is a good suggestion. I haven't tried PHP on IIS since I can use ASP.NET. The old version of ASP is pretty similar to PHP. As I recall the use of PHP started to grow when ASP was introduces. The syntax of the two languages is different. With ASP.NET not only do you write C# or VB script for your homepages you can also add WebControls as you can't do with PHP. When you use PHP you have to check $_GET, $_POST or $_SESSION arrays for fetching user data. ASP.NET is more used as a WISYWIG tool. Add a control let's say a button for a form to the aspx page then double click the button and you end up where you can write the code.

I've done some ASP.NET. Thanks anyway. I'll stick with PHP and Apache on Linux. Cheaper and more efficient use of system resources. ASP.NET is a huge resource hog - like all MS products.
