IIS vs. Apache

[ediguy]

Hi all,

I'm not all that familiar with Apache (i.e., i know pretty much nothing about it ), but I am fairly familiar with IIS.

I'm trying to determine if a number of applications that my company currently has (written in java using struts) can be run directly in IIS without modification. I don't yet have access to the executables for the java sites which is why I am asking.

Also, can Apache run ASP.Net sites without modification? Or is there something that needs to be done to Apache?

Any pointers to useful, concise info would be great.

Thanks,
J

Hello,

For the first one, I am not sure.

In order to run ASP.Net Applications in Apache you will need to use the mod_mono Module, which itself is reliant on the Mono project. Bear in mind that you might have to make modifications to your ASP.Net application to make it work, i.e. Apache running on Linux uses \ instead of / and also is case sensitive. It's not impossible to do it, but you may have some work.
