It seems folks have missed the crux of your question. You can run httpd.exe on any flavor of Windows, client or server. The client operating systems have several deliberate flaws, such as only allowing two simultaneous TransmitFile() calls (al la EnableSendfile On in httpd language), and other crippling 'optimizations'. Several settings must be tweaked in order to get passable low volume performance. The server operating systems, and I presume Windows Web Server is among these, do not cripple the network stack in favor of 'interactive' use. The major difference between these all is the EULA terms about simultaneous connections and simultaneous logins. Depending on your licensing you may typically have only 10 logins allowed on entry level server products. That will *include* every connection you authenticate using mod_auth_sspi and similar NTLM based auth solutions. Review your Windows Web Server EULA, and I expect you will find it to be acceptable for most basic applications of Apache httpd. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
