ASP+PHP, which server?

Post by hob_goblin »

im doing some benchmarking to determine which of the two is faster, i know i can get asp running on apace, but does it have any speed disadvantages? wouldn't it be better to use ASP on PWS? Can php be installed onto PWS?

I would do PWS, but i wanted to use apache because i heard of something called 'apachebench.' Is there something like this for PWS?

My box is a Win98 box, any ideas on what server software i should be doing these benchmarking tasks on?

there are several web-benchmarks available, i.e. http://www.mindcraft.com/webstone/
You can start benchmarking the common 'packages' like linux/php/mysql vs. iis/asp/mssql (if available)

php can be installed on PWS as well as MySql if that is your db of choicehttp://www.php.net/downloads.php
has the windows distribution for windows IIS, I'm not sure what the difference is between PWS and IIS but you can give it a go.

The other thing you can do is go to http://www.download.com and do a search for PHPTriad 2.11 and install it. It comes with apache, php and mySql all together in a nice package. I used for quite a while on my windows 98 machine and had no problems using it.
Unfortunetly the guy who put it together no longer provides support for it but it is quite stable.

http://www.mindcraft.com/webstone/ is (web-)server independent (and many more are) as it does not hook into the server but acts as multiple clients that request certain pages. The repsonse time, throughput, ... (i.e. pages/s) is measured.
