Moving websites from Windows 2003 Server to Apache

Moving websites from IIS/ASP to Apache/PhP Linux

[Stephen Tiller]

Hi

I have about 200 Websites on Windows 2003 on IIS. The vast majority of these websites use ASP and many use MS Access as the backend database.

What are the implications of moving/migrating these websites to an Apache web server with PHP that is Linux based?

My knowledge of Apache, PHP and Linux is very limited. Has anybody done this themselves?

I would appreciate any advice

well, it sounds like a fair bit of work

was there some specific concern you had that we could maybe address directly?

I only moved one site from Windows ASP/Access to Linux Apache.

The only shortcut was the MySQLFront utility that transferred my Access data into MySQL. After that I had to replace every ASP page with one written in PHP.

It's really a case of total rewrite of each site.
