    Yes I have read this but I was just wondering how it relates to IIS, does it work with IIS?

    Please can you help as i am a bit stuck at how to start as I am new to all of this but as part of my job as an IT apprentice i have been tasked with creating a forum.

    Here is what I have at the moment

    -Windows 2003 Server R2
    -IIS
    -Latest Vanilla Download.

    Where do i go from here.

    Vanilla requires Apache 2. I've seen people have success with lighttpd as well, but do not know if it's possible on IIS (I have very little experience outside Apache).
