The war of Web Servers….
May 29th, 2007A few days back,i installed 3 web servers on my comp- APACHE TOMCAT, JAVA SDK and MS IIS, it was just a trial. Actually i was reading servlets for my Java semester exams, i came upon TOMCAT and JAVA SDK. To check their performance i just downloaded and installed both of them. Now you would be waiting for the feedback???
Yeah surely, Apache Tomcat stole the show- Light Weight, easy installation, Less load on system, Robust and many more features for which Apache is known for. When i started the server, it didnt even affect the speed of my system, worked exellently.
Java SDK too installed without any problems. But when i started the server, my comp became damn slow, it worked well but still it lagged when compared to Apache.
MS IIS was that which i disliked the most. Now i know why 70% of the world uses Apache as their first choice of Webserver.
The problem was that both Tomcat and SDK runs on port 8080, so i could use only one of them at a time. IIS used port 80 due to which Apache server stopped working which i had installed with WAMP. Finally i can say that its Apache which is my first choice as a Web Server and i have learn how to configure it also… CHEERS!!!!!
