Which Web Server To Setup In University Project Center

Question

Hi,

We want to setup and configure a web server for our project center in our university and we want to supply a web server for student web applications based on Php, Python and also Asp.Net.

Is there anyway to supply a server for all these 3 different platforms ?

Thanks in advance,

Answer 1

Yes, you can, I would look at setting up a Windows Server, then look at a control panel such as "Plesk" to help you with management/configuration.

Answer 2

if you really need asp, then i think you're limited to IIS on Windows

Answer 3

IIS (ie. a Windows server) can run all 3.

ASP.NET can't be run on anything but Windows, to my knowledge, so that's your limiting factor.

Answer 4

You could actually use Apache and mod_mono to serve up ASP.NET applications with Mono, although I've never used this approach myself.
