They will probably perform about the same, though if I had to guess, I'd say IIS performs better. The big issue with Apache is that it uses a process per connection, so you can only have so many connections open at once. You should use IIS if you are stuck on Windows and need features that it provides, such as ASP or things that only run on IIS. Apache is useful if you need a full featured server. It isn't very fast, flexible or easy to use, but in many cases it gets the job done. If you need a really good web server, buy Zeus. It is by far the best web server available and worth the money if you need it. If you just need to serve a lot of files, a simpler web server such as Boa or thttpd might work. Since you haven't told us your goals, it is impossible to give any specific advice. -- David Phillips <david at acz.org> http://david.acz.org/ _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
