Drupal on Windows

Has anyone performed any tests or know of a case study, etc. that would show how Drupal performs on a LAMP (or similar) stack vs a Windows based stack?

Or are there key elements in a typical high performance architecture that only runs on one stack or the other?

Hello again,
I've successfully installed acquia drupal 6.19 on windows 2k3, but I don't intend to subscribe to acquia drupal support.
I've upgraded it to drupal 6.20 on a test machine, though I get an (not that bad error) on running localhost/update.php ,

wondering if web platform Installer can be used to upgrade installed packages ( drupal acquia, php and mysql ) ?
or should I upgrade manually to latest acquia drupal version ?

Thanks taking time to reply

regards

I am looking for a group or just others interested in using MSSQL Svr with Drupal (especially Drupal 7).

I am NOT necessarily wanting to run Drupal on Windows. I want to leave Drupal on its own server under Linux but store the data in SQL Svr on its own Windows server.

Is this group the appropriate group for such discussion? If not, where might I find people interested in such discussion.

I am trying to use Drupal as a front end for my MSSQL database. My concept is to keep Drupal on Linux/Apache with MySQL but have all the content-type fields on a MSSQL database.

Is this the right group for such discussions? If not, what group would be more appropriate for Drupal/MSSQL discussions.

Ideally, I would like to see some Drupal modules that would make content types transparent to the Drupal side, but behind the scenes would split the data and keep the nodes and related functionality on the Drupal side in MySQL and but the actual content type data on the MSSQL side.

Apparently it is easier to run Drupal on IIS, but I want to hear your stories, good and bad!

Cheers,

Chris

I created this group to see what kind of interest there is in running Drupal 7 on a Windows environment. There is already a group to dedicated to Drupal on IIS, which has a good following of people interested in getting Drupal running under Microsoft's Internet Information Servier. The group is mostly focused on Drupal 6, and has some good content.

I wanted a group to discuss the specific issues around running Drupal 7 on Windows, particularly the use of Microsoft's SQL Server as a replacement for MySQL. This is made possible by the work done by a team at Microsoft that wrote a driver for SQL Server, and then packaged up the whole thing as an installable item.

Hi everyone.

Wanted to let you know that we've just released Drupal 7 for Windows+IIS+MSSQL out on http://microsoft.com/web/drupal This distro, built by Commerce Guys comes pre-configured with the Drupal SQL Server Module. When you install this, our installer will check your system and install MS SQL Express and PHP if you need it automatically.
