Hello,

Is there a possibility to make admintools compatible with a windows server (2003)?

thanks,

Jan

This is a little ambiguous.

Admin Tools is compatible with Windows Server. That said, there are two hidden meaning behind your request:

  • Are you asking about MS SQL Server support? This is not going to happen anytime soon as I'd have to learn the ins and outs of MS SQL Server and dual test my code. Now the first part is hard enough on its own right. Doing testing is where it becomes really tough from a management perspective.
  • Are you asking about supporting IIS in .htaccess Maker? This is most likely not going to happen as there is no built-in support for URL rewriting. Yes, a Microsoft add-on for IIS URL rewriting has been published but its feeble compared with Apache's mod_rewrite and it's not widely adopted. This means that if I say that "IIS URL rewriting is supported" I'll have a lot of support requests from folks with older versions of IIS or a different URL rewriting solution. That's like diving into the deep end of the pool wearing a straight jacket and concrete shoes. I don't think I want to do it :)
