|
|
<P>Common reasons why people migrate from IIS to Apache (and not the other way around) include
|
|
stability, performance and security. This is partly because most people running Apache do it on
|
|
an Unix variant (like Solaris, FreeBSD or Linux). Fortunately, Apache is multiplatform and runs
|
|
on both Unix and Windows, offering a sensible migration path.
|
|
<P>Common Windows based web development environments like Coldfusion or Active Server Pages
|
|
have Unix ports or compatible environments (some are commmercial, some are freely available):

Apache for Windows supports also the ISAPI interface.
|
|
<P>If you want to go for a complete open source solution and you come from a Windows background (
|
|
IIS + ASP + MS-SQL server) the roughly equivalent (and highly popular) combination is Apache + PHP
|
|
+
