jgriesba Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 I am currently researching this product as a solution for a client that needs an extensible e-commerce suite. So far as I can tell and have seen, the osCommerce looks head and shoulders about the others. One main thing that caught my eye was clearly the extensibility of the system and the active developer/install-base dialog that goes on thru this site. The other main feature of the system is it's ability to be run on either Linux/Windows OS which is a nice feature as I would like to migrate my client off of Windows for his webserver on to Linux. One thing I couldn't find, however, was whether there is a preference for running the osCommerce thru Apache or IIS (assuming both running on Win2K). What are the pros & cons of either setup? What would you guys/gals suggest? Am not looking for a dissertation just some helpful input into which of the two web servers I should use and why. Cheers! Joseph P.S. If any one has done a Win32 to Linux migration, I would love to hear some suggestions from you as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 Actually in order to run on windows you have to install the apache verion for windows,,, no iis. however, It would be much much faster if it were running on linux. I am a windows man myself but I am slowly changing course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamscape Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 Actually in order to run on windows you have to install the apache verion for windows,,, no iis. not true... OSC will run on and IIS server if you install PHP for IIS... I myself develop my OSC on IIS... however, PHP and IIS don't always get along, which leads to a few quirks with OSC on IIS which is OK for development but I wouldn't do it for a live site... there seems to be very little or no problems with OSC on apache (probably because PHP and apache get along very well).
