>After some testing, I am now ready to get upgraded to a real server. I have been looking into the 3 major servers, MS IIS, Netscape, and O'Reilly. I know you have been asked before, but which server do you run here? What are some of the reasons for your decision to use that product?
I used all of them. However, I have to say, that in 1998 with an NT box, you will be better to use IIS. It comes with NT and you will be able to handle nice features you will have difficulties if you go with another server.
>I don't wish to delve too much into the way you have done things here on UT, but I wish to get some opinions from someone who has implemented, IMHO, the best website integrating with VFP. I have a system that I am working on, that will need to have the capabilities for high-traffic, VFP automation servers, faxing, remote report printing, and possibly multiple domains.
>I've already begun the design and layout of the website and the integration with VFP, but need to evaluate the last item on the list. The Web Server.
You can use the same approach as you use in desktop development. Working on a framework will allow you better flexibility for handling multiple applications. I will also suggest you go with XWorks Enterprise as you will be able to assign server name to your Visual FoxPro server and handle custom servers for each application. Try to also implement a dispatch server.
