Introduction to IIS server and Apache server

First, you need a WEB server to support PHP running. Here we will introduce the two most common and used servers.

When running PHP, we need a WEB server to support its operation. Today, we will explain to you two of the most common and most commonly used servers. I hope you will learn more about the server.

1. IIS Server (Internet Infomation Server)

The IIS server must be familiar to everyone. In Window2000, the IIS server is installed by default.

The IIS server can be used independently as a Web server or together with compatible tools, it can be used to establish Internet business, access and operate data from different data sources, and create Web applications. These applications use server scripts and component code to complete some client-server functions.

We know that the IIS server is now a widely used Web platform and it is relatively simple to build a Web site. However, during use, the Web cannot run properly due to improper IIS server settings or other reasons, which is very common.

You can open it through "start-> Settings-> Control Panel-> Administrative Tools-> Internet information service. If you have not installed it, you can install it through "add and delete components" in Windows. There are many introductions on IIS Server installation.

2. Apache

Apache is also a very good Web server program, and it is also my favorite Web server. It is not only small, flexible, but also very stable in the use process, there will be no inexplicable errors (IIS server is relatively worse), and more importantly, it also supports installing PHP into a module.

Therefore, I strongly recommend that you use Apache to install PHP. Apache has two common versions: Version 1.36 and version 2. We recommend that you use Apache2, you can download the latest version from the official Apache website.

Here we will explain the knowledge of IIS server and Apache server.
