Windows 2003 64-bit Web Server installation configuration considerations

Yesterday deliberately to the computer room to install 64-bit system, with a 250G new hard drive to go. In order to reduce the time to break the net, first the hard disk partition, a lot of data also copied to a section.

I am using the Windows Server 2003 R2 English major client edition, plus the Simplified Chinese package. A total of 3 discs. In fact, I've only carved 2 CDs, and everything else is on a DVD. The CD disc is too small.

Installation starts with 32-bit is almost the same. However, in the selection of hard disk and partition, unexpectedly do not know the previous partitions, 64-bit system installed in the time does not recognize the 32-bit system partition.

The other and 32-bit systems are almost the same. After installation is the whole English system. Then install the language pack, set the zone properties, and become Chinese.

About this simplified Chinese version of the 64-bit system, seems to be the installation method, there is no special Simplified Chinese version, as if the English system + Language pack form. When Microsoft released its 64-bit system, it only mentioned the Chinese language pack for Chinese users.

Online is basically the English major customer version.

After you install these, the default is no IIS, and you need to add components to the Control Panel additions/deletions program.

After installing IIS, you will need. NET 2.0 packs, and note that you want to install a 64-bit version. Also, in order to be able to debug directly on the server, simply install Visual Studio 2005. Visual Studio 2005 does not have a special 64-bit version that automatically identifies and installs the appropriate content when installed under 64-bit systems. The following is the interface.

At this stage, the. NET 2.0 framework components are installed. You need to make related settings in IIS.

Then add the Web site to IIS, exactly the same as under 32-bit systems. But yesterday I had a problem and wasted half an hour. The main point is that I used to use the 32-bit system to save the relevant configuration file, I use configuration file inside the configuration to add a site, so that the added site may be some configuration is not compatible with 64 bits, I have a site is not able to run, and the display is unable to find the server or DNS error, people very puzzling. So it is recommended to manually add the site, anyway efficiency is almost. ---http://www.bianceng.cn

Finally, 64-bit SQL Server 2005 is installed, and after installation, you can attach directly to the database files created under SQL Server 2005 32-bit. Orphaned users appear when attached, and you can associate orphaned users with database users with the following statement:

Sp_change_users_login ' Update_One ', ' Test ', ' test ', reconnect the server login ' Test ' with the Northwind database user ' test '.

With 64-bit operating systems, 64-bit IIS, 64-bit. NET 2.0, 64-bit SQL Server 2005, our 64-bit Web server is configured to do so.

As for the performance in the end, there is no comparison, feel faster. I will do some tests when I have time.

In short, since the hardware configuration has reached 64, the main software has 64, we have no reason to use 64 bits.
