chilli Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Anyone on here use (or know of) Apache (pref 2.x) on an x86 win32 platform with Dot Net support? I've found Apache modules for .Net under linux (using mono) but none for use under win32 (well I think there was one but it is depricated...) if this can be done, anyone got a user guide for setting it up? cheers, L PS: anyone using apache 2.2.3 -> any good? thinking of upgrading my webserver to it, maybe on a rainy day. Either that or I'll fully switch to linux and mono on x86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Either just use IIS & .NET under windows, or Apache & Mono under Linux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 ok yep I thought it looked like that was the case, just wanted to check. my current setup is apache under win2k doh. I might set up another machine though with linux and mono and the latest apache. slightly different question, recommended linux for this setup? I have RH9 currently and downloaded the latest Fedora 6 the other day, or maybe I should switch to Free BSD or something perhaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I'd stick with RedHat, certainly wouldn't use Fedora for a server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 Is redhat still available for free though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 No but you said you already had it, don't know how much it is now. CentOS is basically a free version of RedHat enterprise linux, which might be a good option if you're familiar with RedHat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 You want to use a .net port on a native Windows machine? What an odd idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Apache on Windows Sucks. I've never seen the point in it myself. Useful for local development if you can't afford a dev server, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 No but you said you already had it, don't know how much it is now. CentOS is basically a free version of RedHat enterprise linux, which might be a good option if you're familiar with RedHat. Well I have a redhat 9 setup, but that is not that new anymore. CentOS, ahhh yes that's what I was trying to remember, maybe I need the latest version of that then... You want to use a .net port on a native Windows machine? What an odd idea! I never said that? What do you mean? Rather just Apache interoperating with .Net on a windows machine (because I have one set up already). It's only a .net port (mono) if I'm forced to use linux - and if I'm using apache then it looks like this is the only way because the windows apache - .Net module is not currently supported Apache on windows is not that uncommon, I've been running it for years and never had a moments trouble.

Ah - sorry, got the wrong end of the stick. There's no Apache native .net support. Not really worth the effort when there's a perfectly good web server built into Win2k3.

chilli Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 yep, just waying up the options really. Basically I have some sites setup using apache on a win2k machine that's been running for years. I'd like to upgrade the whole thing as it's in need of it. At the same time I'd like to use it for some development testing, mainly .Net web services and maybe some J2EE also. I was thinking of making a new machine and once set-up, migrating the existing sites to it. They all currently use Apache/PHP/MySQL (LAMP without the L lol). So the new platform might either be win32 with IIS and .NET or Linux with Apache and Mono. I do like Apache however. I think I might go for CentOS 4.4 (downloading), PHP5.x, MySQL and Mono on a new machine, that should support all existing sites + the new development I want to try out. Just need to work out what J2EE application server would be suit my needs also for that new platform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
