Hello guys!!

I'm a newbie with eZ Publish from Spain. I have been reading the system requirements http://ez.no/ezpublish/requirements and I have seen that if I want to install it in Windows 2008 the requirements says "Windows 2008 (IIS 7 only)"

shouldn't I use apache?

In theory:
1. Apache on Windows is threaded(event based), and PHP still states that it is not 100% thread safe. If you really want to use Apache, you should setup PHP in fastcgi mode using nts build like you would on IIS.
2. Apache has been written for *nix. And unlike php, Microsoft has not been sponsoring development on it to improve Windows compatibility the last few years.
3. IIS has better performance on Windows then Apache, as said above it's optimized for *nix

So for performance and stability, IIS 7+ and PHP 5.3+ is in theory the way to go.

So... from the point of view of the performance and stability it's better to use IIS. Do you think if I use Apache in Windows 2008 it will work well? I'm analyzing the architecture for a server with eZ publish and other software apps and I'm still on time to change configurations.

Thanks for your quick answer :)

I have no idea, I usually go with the flow when it comes to setting up prod servers. Less risk that way.
For development it is fine though, used it before I switched to Linux to avoid having to wait for on the OS / Eclipse / eZ Publish.
