I got it working in the end but it is really slow!
It takes a bit of waiting for the pages to appear (listing of categories and forums), while with IIS this was instant.
I also keep on getting some errors:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE in
C:\www\htdocs\ffff\forum\ubbt.inc.php on line 64
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getmicrotime() in
c:\www\htdocs\ffff\forum\main.inc.php on line 16
when clicking the General Discussion board. If I press F5 there and then, the page shows up fine!
I know that this is something new for me and I know that IIS was better (compared to what Apache is now) but I am not giving up! I need to know which server is the best and I will find out the hard way.
I suspect that there are a lot of tuning directives (I haven't read that chapter in my book) and I will exploit them all before I move my forum to my new server.
Any personal suggestions or points to resources on the Internet are more than welcome
Warm regards
Nikos
