Web Server moved to Apache

Posted by Ken at 8/24/2006 02:17:00 AM
Yesterday I shutdown Microsoft Internet Information Services! I finally moved everything over to Apache. Everything now runs over port 80, like normal web traffic should. Before I had both Apache running some of my services and IIS running the rest. Now Apache handles it all! IIS on Windows XP x64 will not do more than one website without hacking it. Apache will allow you to run as many websites as you want, all using name-based virtual hosting. I knew that I was going to switch everything over to Apache for this reason, I just didn't know when.

Yesterday I decided to buy more domain names for a couple of my friends. Well, I was going to host one of those domains and I couldn't do it without finally making the switch. I was able to change my Apache configuration properly and work out all of the bugs. So, welcome to a website hosted by Apache! Doesn't it feel good to not have IIS serving the page?

Oh, by the way, visit [url=http://www.doehead.com]www.doehead.com[/url], the other site being served by my Apache server...

    So you hooked up Kevin with a website. Cool. Which computer are you running the server on?

    It is running on the same computer as this website. It is my desktop computer (okay, my server). It is running Apache 2.0.55 on Windows XP x64 Edition with PHP 5.1.2.
