Unless you have any very specific reason to use Apache, as in a feature that IIS does not support, then there is no reason not to use IIS if your running on windows, it will do everything you need. The most common reason people always had to use Apache was mod_rewrite, but this now exists for IIS in the form of IISREWRITE among others.

I havent really done alot of research on web servers, am doing some now but would be extremely grateful of some expert advice. I know my client would prefer to use an IIS web server, in order for it to sit on a windows server platform. Do most people use IIS with Coldfusion? can anybody tell me if this is adequate or whether i should really be pushing for a different environment? I asked a question on here a long time ago in regard to web servers and was told that apache may be the best one to use. This question is more in regard to whether IIS is good enough or whether i need to consider other factors. Pardon my ignorance but I dont really know the difference between any of the web servers. thanks very much for any advice merry xmas to all and a very prosperous new year :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
