Win2k Pro + IIS 5 Help..

[Cyberkiller]

Is there anyway to increase the 20 connection limit on Win2k Pro's IIS5, without upgrading to Win2k Server?

Thanks,

Install Apache.

I don't know how to use apache on windows, i've used it alittle on linux. How would I go about setting up an http server with cgi/perl support? I have perl and everything installed, but how do I let apache know its there and to use it?

This link has plenty of documentation that will help you.

linuxdoc.org will have information on setting up apache too!

Apache runs on Win2k Pro? Sweet.

i thought that the 20-connection limit was something internal in windows 2000 and that apache couldn't get over this. :?

Not to my knowledge.

Whats the best server to run on a pentium 133mhz with 40megs of ram? Win2k is what I know and that ain't gonna run on a computer like that, I tried nt4 and had tons of problems. I am thinking of win98 + apache but its not gonna be very efficient or stable. I don't know very much about linux...

p133 and only 40mb of ram wont do a whole lot. Win98 sucks as a server. NT would be ok, but you dont seem to know much about that either. Your best bet would be to let someone else handle a server.

I had nt4 installed, but couldn't get internet access working on it right. I know some nt4, but not a lot. I mostly work with win98 and win2k. Is there anyway to get win2k to run on that comp? 133 sounds way to slow to me, but I've never tried 2k on an older system. I am going to try to upgrade the ram to either 64 or 128. I have to run the server myself, as I don't have money for someone else to do it and I would like to use it as a learning experience, since it won't be mission critical.

If you have the money to spend on win2k server why not pick up a little better hardware while you are at it?

I am using a copy from my dad's work. They have a education version or somethin. It's Win2k Pro not server.
