[Tfug] linux to windows web host

[Nathan England]

Hello Hello,

I have a large (150k+ lines) web application I've developed for internal use 
in a non-profit. I currently run it on a linux distro developed and maintained 
by myself specifically for my web applications and several other things. My 
current employer is not very linooks friendly and wants it running on a 
windows server 2003 machine. Currently, I utilize apache, php, perl, openldap, 
mysql, maybe some others and all the libraries needed for php-ldap, php-mysql 
and ... you get the idea. All the wonderful stuff us linux guys take for 
granted.

So, I'm wondering. The rationale behind moving it to a windows system is 
simply for backup purposes, so they say, regardless, I'm the employee so I 
need to make this happen. 

Should I ... ?

(A) install VirtualBox on this machine, load my linux and everything else onto 
that and go to town...

(B) install cygwin and everything I need in that and fix anything that gets 
borked....

(C) Install apache, mysql, perl, php and others? in windows natively and hope 
for the best... 

I would like opinions as well as any useful info you might be able/willing to 
contribute!

Nathan
