And then install whatever site watching software you have to esnure it restarts after it crashes. IIS6, OTOH, should make things a tad easier. cheers, Chris Maunder

                    I must say Apache is perhaps better when coming to traditional web task whereas IIS does the part as an application server better. I run both Apache and IIS, because XP's IIS after SP1 only allows 2 concurent downloads (in my case anyways) , so I run apache for file sharing (reinstall is much easier, just copy conf file) and have IIS free for web developement. Also , Apache (1.3) uses only about 1.5mb memory (peaking at 4mb and only using 1 second CPU power over the last 12 hours! and it has been serving the whole day), so it doesnt bother my system in the least. Cheers :) "I dont have a life, I have a program." Also, I won't support any software without the LeppieRules variable.

                      Both servers are pretty darn stable. I'd say there is little or no difference between them two in stability. Judging something to be "better" is very subjective. First, you need to know what "good" is. If good is

                      • .NET-capable
                      • Optimum performance on Windows

                      then IIS is probably the better alternative. But if you want

                      • optimum performance on UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems
                      • maximum configurability
                      • maximum extensibility (you have the source you know)

                      then Apache is probably the better alternative. So you see, there is no easy answer for you nor your friend Polski unless you've established all other unknowns in your equation... -- standing so tall, the ground behind no trespassers, on every floor a garden swing, and another door she makes it clear, that everything is hers A place of abode, not far from here, Ms. Van de Veer

                        I also encountered the concurrent download limit when using Windows XP's IIS, and installed Apache to give it a try. Later I switched back to Windows 2000, but kept Apache because it was so easy to use and configure. Plus, it didn't have any weird restrictions, and I didn't need to do anything that required IIS (ASP, application web development, etc.; I'm really clueless when it comes to anything of that sort). It does everything I need it to do for the moment, so I don't think I'll switch back any time soon :)
