I'm not 100% sure on how PWS runs on win XP, but I have used IIS, and I'm not a big fan. I believe IBM are now running XP with IIS, alongside 2k with IIS on their webservers. Response time from the XP servers are nearly double that of the 2k ones.
Personally, I think you should look at apache. But if this isn't an option, I would choose IIS over PWS, simply because it's a proper web server, much more stable, and much more able to deal with a greater number of requests. It is also dependant on what your going to be doing with this? If your just gonna be running the web server once a month to try some scripting, then maybe PWS is better, as you don't have to run it as a service all the time, but if your gonna be doing stuff all the time, again, IIS is a better bet. Hope this helps... chris kranz fatcuban.com -----Original Message----- From: m1nt ch3w [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 12 February 2003 09:17 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-WIN] PWS or IIS?
