Change from UNIX to Windows

I am currently doing an assignment on setting up a virtual marketplace using the object-oriented or structured design approach.. A virtual market offers web space for web-shops or cyber-stores with some support functions...e.g. directory service, product search, ads, shop info etc.... In order to do this, according to your website, I must use programs such as PHP, SQL, Apache etc..however the website is based on the assumption on running using a UNIX server....if i were to run on Windows, what relevant changes should I make or ensure?

Thanks for your assiatance

These forums are definitely PHP leaning, kinda spooky for me as an ASP coder. ASP is the approach of choice on windows servers, however...I host my sites with a host that also has Perl and PHP installed (http://www.1planhost.com), so you still have that choice if your server has alternate software installed. SQL is a generic term that applies to a few different applications. Seems to me that MySQL is prefered by PHP users and MS-SQL is prefered by ASP users.

good luck

Well, I'm a rank newbie myself, but I would think that since Apache, MySQL, and PHP all come in versions for the M$ platform, you could just use them and get on with it.
