Michael Hall	Wednesday 09 January 2008 9:34:30 pm I've just started work as webmaster at my local council. Our public website is based on Exponential 3.9.3. I've been developing PHP/MySQL for at least 5 years now, so while the learning curve is steep I'm not totally lost! We're now planning to move our intranet (currently ASP on IIS) to Exponential, and I have a few questions which hopefully someone can answer: 1. Is Apache/MySQL/Exponential on a Windows 2003 server OK for a relatively low volume intranet? I've only ever used Linux before. 2. Is version 4.0 ready for production use, or at least close? That "x.0" has me worried :-) 3. Any recommendations for how to approach the project, in other words, should I start with a predefined installation (eg corporate design) or start from scratch? If starting from scratch, what components am I likely to need?
