Re: Done with IIS on XP

I haven't tried the whole Windows/running IIS simultaneously thing (I assume you want to run both), but as a general comment I'll just say that Apache rocks and it's easier to configure than you might think. The docs are really well written and all you really need to do for virtual hosts is add a few lines to the httpd.conf file. Not sure what you're used to, but some people who are used to IIS stay away from Apache because it doesn't have fancy admin wizards. It's really quite simple to do the 90% of the stuff that most people have to do (virtual hosts, default docs, etc.).

Prior to Apache 2 it had a pretty bad reputation on Windows, but I think they've made it more a real production-level product on Windows these days.

Hey All,

I'm been doing development on my laptop for a number of years, mostly
because I'm anal and want my code as close to me as possible and not off on
some remote server =).

I run CF7 on XP, using IIS. I have been very happy with this setup until
recently when I started doing .NET development on the same web server. I
ran into some (strange) issues running both at the same time, so decided to
move off. The problem with development on XP is that it will only allow me
to create one webserver, which is very frustrating. For example, I am
working on an existing application for a client that has EVERYTHING pointing
to the root of the webserver, no dynamic paths for images, CFCs, etc.

I am considering looking at Apache on XP so that I can create separate web
roots, has anyone tried this configuration for development? Any opinions on
Apache on Window$ ?

Thanks !

Dirk
