It is true that Apache2Triad is no longer being updated. We see that as an advantage. It is not broken so no need to fix it. Apache2Triad is a 'system' - a group of individual software programs assembled into a single place. If you want, you can update the Apache2 web server, Python, etc. What is good about Apache2Triad is that it installs everything in one place, one 'master' folder and is easy to manage. I installed it on Linux and was able to use the same control files on a windows installation with no changes: httpd.conf, httpd-vhosts.conf, etc. The slimftp that comes with it is simple to use. You can easily have different ID/Psw/permissions on the same FTP folder. If you are looking for something that works and you can walk away and forget, you can't beat Apache2.
Regarding the question about using Apache2 on Windows vs Linux, that is a personal decision. If you can find a stable version of Windows like we think Win2000 SP4 is, it works fine and you have a GUI that is friendly and familar to most people. I have not tried a Mac because our client base has PCs. We hope that will change over time. I would like to have a reason (tax deductible) to get a Mac and an iPad and the 'Air' ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ted Roche" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 2010 12:17 PM Subject: Re: [NF] Apache on Windows, was Vista and IIS On Tue, Nov 30, 2010 at 1:59 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > We use apache2 on Win2000 and it works great with asp and html.

Try it. > http://apache2triad.net: According to the main page, "Since 2006 Apache2Triad is no longer being developed, there are many reasons behind this but the breaking changes to windows starting with XP have played a significant part, the forums and everything else will remain online. "Since then i have stopped using windows entirely and switched to OSX, the operating system on Mac's that comes with apache, php, perl, python etc. already built in and updated automatically from Apple, needless to say i never looked back once. "It was a wild ride, thanks to everyone that helped and supported the project, Vlad." As I have a client who really wants to deploy Apache on Windows 2008, I'd welcome any updated recommendations. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/25bd01cb90d2$f4d988a0$7a00a...@w2k3s02 ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
