[QUOTE="Maschine, post: 85908, member: 10316"] Hey guys! A nice discussion that started here! Let me also say some words on the topic. First some background why we used the things for MPW we still use now. When I started MPW way back I only knew PHP quite good. So the first MPW was only reading and writing the SQL db. Then I met Sam who developed this great webservice to make communication with MP possible. I always used the Apache server before and based on XAMPP it was perfect to use for an easy installer (is think the current MPW is very easy to install). Currently MPW still accesses the sqlite db file directly. So if TV engine 3 comes, MPW will be quite useless anyway. So this is a perfect point for a complete rewrite anyway, maybe even in a new language or environment. I don't have a problem using asp instead of PHP (though I needed to learn it completely new) - if it has enough advantages. Same for the webserver. If the new is as easy to install and secure as Apache - no problem to change the situation. Regarding the webservice (or a MP webservice in gerneral) I'd think this would be nice to have anyway, not only for MPW. Imagine that all kinds of clients (like MPW, XBox, PDA appa, etc.) would have a nice interface to communicate with MP. No matter in which language the clients are written or on which OS they run. In my opinion it would be nice to concentrate on a common solution, better than letting every client find its own solution. Let me try to sum up some things: PHP: +I know it ;) +runs on Apache -no direct .net communication -slow(?) ASP: +faster(?) -I don't know it -doesn't run on Apache Apache: +wide spread, well developed and secure +easy to install -much ressources -no asp support (I read that our mod asp has been discontinued?!?) IIS: -No XP home support -> disqualified! Cassini (only from reading about it): +small and fast -does it have all features we need (like password protection for directories, different htdocs dirs for channel logos) I have to leave now, maybe I'll complete my list later on. I hope my thoughts are a little usefull for this discussion... Maschine [/QUOTE]
