Roy Bøhmer	Friday 04 June 2004 1:03:52 am I have no clue why eZ dont work on IIS, but i know it don't, and eZ do not claim it does. See http://ez.no/ez_publish/framework/requirements. eZ only works on apache.
Peter Quennell	Monday 07 June 2004 8:45:58 am "My IIS" meaning your hoster's IIS? Is your hoster running Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 servers? If 2003 I would say your chances of success are about zero - and you'd have to ask/blame Microsoft re this, it seems to stem from some hidden protective measures in IIS. Anyway do a search here Sebastien. There's been plenty of prior discussion and some progress. We attempted it for several days with our own IIS hoster. We then set EZP up in a few minutes with a Linux hoster; actually with an EZP partner hoster, Firebright, who have worked very cleverly on achieving an optimum EZP environment.
Jamie Fowlie	Monday 16 August 2004 8:10:02 am Exponential will not work under IIS. On Windows you need to install apache. Which usually means running Exponential on a different port than IIS (for example, 8080) This is the workaround I had to use on my IIS6 setup. Now its working fine. But I spent countless hours trying to make it work on IIS alone. Don't be wasting your time! I think there is general confusion when saying 'under Windows'. EZ will run under windows IF using a W32 Apache setup. IIS is altogether something else.
