Configuring Web server ?

Post by azfar »

On my windows webserver (IIS) i have to built some functionalities like php, perl, python, cgi, msaccess, mysql and mssql.

I know how to install these tools but i dont know what extra modules are needed to install for accessing these databases from php, perl and python or any other module which must required for hosting.

And what are the industry standard versions of above tools. There are atleast two versions of each product available.

There are no special modules for database connectivity under IIS. The regular Perl/Python modules will work. For any database, you'll have a DBD module for access from perl and a dbapi module for python. CGI is not a product, it's an interface for web servers to talk to web apps. I'm not too sure about how PHP database connectivity works other than that a mysql module ships with the stock PHP distribution.
