I'm a Linux guy, so this is biased. :) But my experience with almost every open source app I've used/installed as a sys admin, is that very few people put much effort into answering questions about install/config problems on windows. Just b/c LAMP has windows counterparts and can work doesn't mean that it's the preferred OS. Most developers that have an open source mindset don't have a windows mind set. They normally don't develop on Windows platforms, so they don't troubleshoot the peculiarities of a LAMP stack on windows. I personally may know how to help solve the problem, but stop reading when I see it running on a windows box. I suspect others do too. I'm sure there are those who don't care, but for me lifes too short to be a windows admin or troublshoot open source on windows.
Whether any of that is right or wrong remains to be seen :) I would have to ask why you *need* to migrate from a Linux server to a Windows one? Also I would not migrate databases until you had it working on the new server. Only try to change one thing at a time, that will make it easier to troubleshoot migration problems. Matt P.
