wtf.. just got disscussion somethere, where some motherfuckers yelled that linux + apache is total crap, insecure,full of bugs, and they are owned by M$ IIS by total server count. (lol, where from such morons came from).. but strange thing, that they gave me document about webservers performance.. this is quite huge, and looks like serious.. btw i dont know what to say but here it is :
http://www.veritest.com/clients/reports/microsoft/ms_competitive_webbench_performance.pdf (http://www.veritest.com/clients/reports/microsoft/ms_competitive_webbench_performance.pdf)
this is strange, microsoft's webservers is fastest? (http://redface.gif)
btw should i believe it?

Nope, there're more webservers running Apache:

heh OK, i know that apache is most popular webserver software but by the way I suggest read that document, which i posted here. This is about webservers performance, speed, etc.. I DONT care what bunch of morons talk that apache is shit and so on, they are unalphabetic kids. but this document looks like strange..

insomnia and refalm, ok, you are people who helped me a lot, but i dont ask you much this time.. just opinion about this document :

Any test that puts a WinNT server over a Linux server usually stinks.
Arragont as this seems it is the case, and has been in public knowledge since this (http://slashdot.org/features/99/04/23/1316228.shtml).
Microsoft meddle with these benchmarks and/or they commision them :rolleyes: (the latter is the case with your example - see insomnia's post)

It's generally a bad idea to trust a product's benchmarks when they're from the company that makes them. Everyone always fiddles with the results, try to find documents from independent organizations.

btw ok, i understand this shit, this is damn M$shit propaganda
but damn M$ holds itself solid and self-trusting company, so why the fuck they decrease its reputation with some kind of blury tests and post fake data in public paperz?.

Who's going to challenge them? Redhat? Suse? All the commercial linux distros are probably more concerned with the SCO lawsuits than they are about a barely credible performance evaluation.
Besides, technically the study was correct. In every setup, the windows server outperformed the linux server. So a very highly tuned windows server was able to beat a very poorly tuned linux server...yippee. That's like putting a heavily modded civic up against a corvette only firing on one cylinder and saying how superior the civic is to the corvette....or how Japanese engineering is superior (Not that it isn't....my R1 impresses me every time I ride it LOL).
If anyone has any doubts about which is superior...this link should end the debate.

The company commissioned to do that study is a partner of Microsoft's.

Ok listen. I have seen many a report that puts the performance of Microsoft's IIS webserver above the Apache 1.3.x webserver software. It is a known fact that it is more efficient. Keep in mind, I am a linux junkie and hate Microsoft, but I am not embarrassed to face facts.
But here is another fact, Microsofts webserver software costs $1000+ for each computer it is installed on, and has a multibillion dollar company that develops it. Meanwhile Apache is free. Also Apache 2.x fixed many of the performance problems that 1.3.x suffers from. Did I forget to mention that Apache has suffered far fewer critical flaws than IIS, and they have been detected and patched in a much shorter period of time due to the fact that it is open source. Oh and Apache is the #1 webserver in the world. Not bad from a company no where near the size of Microsoft.
Now even though Microsoft IIS is more efficient than Apache, you have to really look at these stats and question their validity in real world applications. Huge websites such as Amazon.com use apache every day with absolutely no problems. So you really have to wonder if these tests mean anything at all.

Euhm ...
Sorry, but your absolutely wrong.
IIS isn't more efficient at all!!!
Please check some facts before making weird statements like that.
FACT: Their don't even exist servers big enough to make IIS efficient.
Do explain why you think IIS could possibly be as efficient as apache?

Prove that it isn't. Just because it's Microsoft doesn't mean that it automatically sucks.

Their are some who are to big,
but they all use something like AIX(indeed the fastest server system).
IIS doesn't suck cause it's MS,
it sucks cause of it's performance.

Well maybe you haven't read the multiple unbiased articles in many pc publications where they did load testing of IIS vs. Apache on the exact same hardware. I have read at least 5 such articles and there is no way all of these could be biased. The results showed that IIS was more efficient when accepting simultaneous requests. I believe it could handle 12,000 while apache was only getting around 7,000.
Now I know you are convinced that all things Microsft are bullshit, but that doesn't mean that for this particular test IIS couldn't beat apache.
Read my whole post, and you will see that I believe these load tests are totally irrelevant when it come down to day to day use. I am not wrong, you just made an uneducated and biased comment based purely on emotion and not fact.
Fact, for this kind of test, IIS is more efficient.
Another fact, in the real world, these conditions almost never exist, and apache is more than powerful enough to support some of the largest websites in the world.
Get over it, apache isn't perfect.

I have a p2 450 running apache 2 right now. It has 384(?) mb ram, and gets the job done. How would IIS run on this system? Im just curious. I'm not going to switch. I like Linux/MySQL/PHP. I do not run a gui at all. Command line all the ay. Oh yeah, and some webmin for when i am too lazy to switch monitors ;)
I wonder if I could even run a 2003 server decently on a p2 450.
-
Yes IIS is perfect...(oh please)
You don't know any facts.
I work with:
a.Linux/apache
b.*BSD/apache
c.Windows/apache
d.Windows/IIS
e.AIX and others
Thats my fucking job.
I write and build networks and servers.
I don't do this for free and I do get paid for it.
If someone wants IIS, he'll get IIS.
And no, I never claimed Linux/Apache is the fastest server (AIX is!).

Do you understand anything about networking?
How many servers get more than 7000 simultaneous requests?
Please give some examples.

WHY?
You don't even know me.
I do know IIS is crap.

Read my first link and read Tux's link.

You're very wrong.

That's hilarious.

I know. But it's better than IIS.

IIS is known for it very bad interaction with PHP.
Better buy both IIS and ASP.

perhaps it is because the two languages are so similar, IIS is trying to parse PHP as ASP. and where do you see IIS supporting PHP anyway?

PHP is not only a scripting language.

Are you actually claiming SlashDot uses IIS???
And if they don't, they can't possibly accept that amount of users at the same time (the apache limit, remember!). :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I don't know about benchmarks or whatever. By being a sysadmin for a company I have worked with Windows/IIS and Linux/Apache.
I will always say Linux/Apache beats out windows/IIs anyday! Pluse its cheaper.
AIX. Oh yea that has to be A Good system. Even som e banks run it. The smart ones at least. :D (http://tongue.gif)

I am sick of even wasting my time with you Insomnia. You are as bad as those people who think anything that isn't open source should be destroyed. Completely unwilling to face facts. Anything that doesn't agree with what you believe is a lie.

Well we had better destroy almost every computer game ever made. Goodbye Warcraft III, Sim City 4, Quake 3 Arena. You aren't free so you should be destroyed according to flap.
The problem with free software is games. Games would suffer the most from being free software. There would be nothing preventing competing companies from using your source code to create their own games and put you out of business.
For example the source code leak for Half-Life 2 was potentially devastating. That is why the game has yet to be released.

Make it all free.
Problem solved.

Patents do not protect ideas and people.
They only protect rich firms who suck the blood out of working people.
PS. I know you're not stupid, so you have no excuse to act like this.
Claiming IIS performs better than Apache on small and medium servers is simply ridiculous.
