Comparison between Microsoft IIS and Apache

Let's take a look at the performance comparison between Microsoft IIS and Apache. We know that scalability refers to whether WWW Service tools can be used in a variety of scenarios, network conditions, and operating systems.

Openness:

The so-called openness refers to whether the source code of the program is open. As we all know, Microsoft IIS is part of the WINDOWS system, so its source code is not open. Apache is different. It was originally used for unix-like system services, so it is completely open to the outside world. Anyone can analyze the code, discover the vulnerability, and release patches to fix the vulnerability.

Because of APACHE's openness, it also greatly improves its security.

Conclusion: Microsoft IIS does not open code, and APACHE is open source code. The latter wins.

Difficulty:

The difficulty of using a tool directly affects the number of users, especially web publishing tools. After all, many companies want to have their own websites, but do not want to hire a high-paying network administrator to maintain them. Therefore, you must find a relatively easy-to-use tool to build your own site.

Microsoft IIS is relatively simple to start, so it is easy for Microsoft IIS to work and publish a website. However, administrators are prone to misconfiguration and misoperations. However, Microsoft IIS is still very easy to learn, but it is very difficult to learn it well.

APACHE is more difficult to use than Microsoft IIS, and requires certain computer and network basics. The configuration is not graphical either. We need to edit the configuration file. However, from the perspective of APACHE settings, as long as we strictly set parameters in the Help file, there is no difficulty.

Conclusion: Microsoft IIS is easy to install but difficult to master. APACHE installation is difficult. It is not easy to be proficient. Microsoft IIS is slightly dominant.

Programming:

In order to make webpages more colorful, more beautiful, and more interactive, experts have developed a variety of components and controls for us. Are these controls running properly under Microsoft IIS or APACHE?

The Mod Rewrite function in APACHE is very powerful, while the Rewrite function of ISAPI in Microsoft IIS needs to be specially developed, which cannot be implemented by beginners. APACHE can use Subversion WebDev and. htaccess, and ForceType. In addition, Microsoft IIS does not support FastCGI well, so some CGI and PHP programs run slowly, far inferior to apache.

Conclusion: different components are used in different environments, because Microsoft IIS or APACHE is determined by the working environment.
