CoverYourASP – by James Shaw

Posted on Posted in Uncategorized

I found a cute WWW site – CoverYourASP – by James Shaw. The reason I found this is that I was looking for the options for hosting Microsoft Web Services. I would love to try Apache under Windows, BUT it looks that it is not quite so possible, at least without Cassini, which can be found on ASP.net. This needs to use Apache as a proxy for incoming requests. Not really a good solution.

On IIS Resources I found the following comment

XP Pro allows 10 connections. This limit is installed by default in the metabase key MaxConnections for W3SVC, and there is no user interface method for modifying the setting. You can change this setting to any number less than 40 and it works, but that is not widely advertised.

The Code Project about how to get the Cassini WWW server to work with Apache. The feedthough is sort of cute too.
