I am a noob to windows server 2003 and have a client who wants to run php on it, can this be done? They told me we can use tomcat to do this, has anyone heard of this or used it before? Will there be any difference in the PHP side of it?
PHP can run on IIS 6.0 you don't need tomcat to run it. I'm sure you can if you want but its not a requirement. It sets up just the same way as any windows configuration. You have to put the php extension in IIS though. You should be able to find a good installation tutorial on google.
