Can I run PHP MYSQL PERL Python and Apache on Windows 2008 server?

Question

and Linux server in general can I use on windows 2008 server?

Answer 1

Linux runs only through virtualization but the other products should run directly under the OS.



Note that since IIS and Apache both normally map to port 80, they will bump into each other. If you use IIS, you can set up PHP, Perl and Python as web service extensions.



MySQL runs on Windows and coexists with most other database products.

One consideration might be whether you plan to co-host classic asp or asp.net applications on this machine.

Answer 2

I honestly don't think this person wants to run Linux on his Windows server. I think he wants the *amp stack on his Windows server.



So, I'd remove or disable IIS, then add Apache, PHP and/or Perl, MySQL. All can be installed on your windows server. If you want to use IIS, you can, that would be WIMP (Windows IIS MySQL PHP). I wouldn't.



Personally, I'd go with the full LAMP stack, and dump the Windows OS entirely, but if you want to go with WAMP (Windows Apache MySQL, PHP), that would work.

Answer 3

Addressing the second part of your question, if you want to run other "Linux software" on your Windows machine, you may also be interested in researching these items:



cygwin

mingw

Windows Services For Unix

Answer 4

i could think of that maximum information superhighway information superhighway hosting companies grant this now. As for a particular information superhighway server, Apache is a information superhighway provider which could run on any platform. IIS is likewise a information superhighway provider, yet that one is constrained to domicile windows servers i've got faith. and that i can not think of of many working structures that have not have been given the skill to run a information superhighway provider.
