Hi guys, The 'P' in LAMP usually refers to PHP - which is a pain to read, write, and maintain unless you're very well versed in PHP ;)
I think the IIS vs. Apache for maintanence is a toss-up - IIS's GUI is nice at times, but sometimes I'd kill to just be able to edit httpd.conf. Running CFMX + MySql is certainly an option - if you do MS SQL, changing to MySql is no big deal. It's very easy to maintain with the new MySql admin and query analyzer tools. -Joe On 5/31/05, Michael Dinowitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 1. MS SQL costs, MySQL does not > 2.
