Re: Which Web Server Do You Use

Thanks Bob - seems like a cool alternative! Before we built TAG.net we used EasyPHP for this. It is apache, but in general does not require any setup - just install and off you go: www-easyphp-org I'll make a summary of all the responses if there are enough. AJ Bob Stout wrote:

All, For over a year we have been developing our own web server for running PHP on windows. We tried Apache 1x and 2x and they did not quite fit the bill. The first was not stable enough and the second caused threading problems with our COM library. I am really interested in what configurations other people have gotten to work well with PHP on Windows. Especially when they have been using the COM interface. We use that A LOT, to contact old fashioned COM stuff and to connect through to .NET.

I use BadBlue <http://www.badblue.com/>. It's not too bad for casual use and it's certainly affordable. My specific application is to do local development on my WinXP box for deployment to my Linux (Debian) server. I realize Apache is cheaper (I use the $60 BadBlue Enterprise Edition), but I need a quick and easy to use tool that doesn't require me to fiddle much with it. OTOH, it does have some quirks that are mildly annoying and I'd certainly be open to alternatives.
