From Win2000/IIS to Linux/Apache?
Posted: Fri Feb 21, 2003 11:53 am
Hi all,
I have PHP & MySQL installed on a Win2000/IIS system. I may be moving (due to requirements at work) to a Linux/Apache system in the near future.
I'm wondering if it's a hassle, or even possible, to move the MySQL database from the windows/IIS box to the Linux/Apache box? Any corruption, or other problems associated with this type of move?
Thanks!
P.S. I also have the option of leaving Win2000 in place but switching to Apache service. Would this be "worth" it? In other words, would that setup be a better web server environment (for PHP & MySQL) than the Win2000/IIS setup?
