Ok, im a comp[uter science major at a university here in michigan, and i have acess to msdnaa.com's programs. I currently run my website off a windows XP machine, its an AMD 1.1 with 240 mb or memory. Im bored, and its sunday, so im thinking about installing server 2k3. But, alas, im scared. :( i'm unfamiliar with the 3 versions i have (professionsl, enterprize, and web editions) so i dont know what to do. does anyone use any of those versions for web server? I currently use apache, and i would like to stick with it. help. :) i need suggestions. *.* cin >> knowledge;

We've just received two servers with 2k3 web edition for moving from a single web server to a web farm. What a pleasure! We're certainly enjoy it, but then we use IIS... :)

Im used to apache, i've been using it for a year or so. does server 2k3 (web edition) usurp apache? and, is it difficuilt to configure? i have no trouble figuring stuff out, i love it, but im more concerned with keeping my website alive. heh. *.* cin >> knowledge;

If you can click through a wizard, you can configure IIS. I've never tried it, but I imagine you could install Apache on top of IIS 6. Also, I don't think you can run the full version of SQL Server on Web Edition. Install Standard Edition, if possible. keegan wrote: im more concerned with keeping my website alive.

You may want to check your msdn licence agreement. I thought the server OS's were only licenced for testing and developing on - not for running production systems.

if i got server 2k3, the sole reason would be for me to get familiar with it, providing me with background knowledge of information. think that's covered? :) *.* cin >> knowledge;
If you are running a live web server off of an MSDN copy of 2K3, you might be in violatoin. MS also tends to license by the volume of hits/connections you get on your server, don't know the details or if this is still true of 2K3. :confused: If I were you... keep your server on your XP box. Find some other computer somewhere and play around with Server 2003 if you want. If your nose runs and your feet smell, then you're built upside down.

I can't help about the license issues, but when I tried Win2k3 (I had Enterprise) for about 5 months, I loved it. Not that nice trying to use as a desktop OS, some things are obviously a bit slow, but I had my website running off IIS and it worked wonderfully. AFAIK Apache et al will run hassle-free on 2k3. I know that unfortunately SQL Server 2k won't work, it's compatible from SP2 and up, but I couldn't get it working. For the rest everything was cool :-D HTH Paul ;)
