I am working on a Windows Server 2003 box … it’s been a long
time.  I have to admit that I love and hate the whole graphical
UI.  Once I have spent a couple of days, I start to understand
where all of the options are at, which tabs to use for what, and which
buttons hide what functionality.

I got IIS working with three “virtual servers” for different services
that I was installing.  I’m adding IP addresses to the box so that
I can use SSL on each of these.  Then I ran into problems. 
I’m installing a Open Source project that was built around “JAM” –
Java, Apache, MySQL.

The installation on Windows went well, however I have run into problems
when trying to get IIS and Apache to work well together.  The core
hitch seems to be that when Apache is running, although I tell it to
“Listen 10.0.0.5:80”, it wants to open 80 on *all* of the IP addresses on the box.  Or at least it produces errors that it can’t open 10.0.0.5:80.

Now if I stop IIS, then I can start Apache.  Apache *says* that it
is only listening on 10.0.0.5:80 … however when I then start IIS it
complains that 10.0.0.1:80 through 10.0.0.4:80 are in use!

I’m going to continue to dig, and see if I can get these two technologies working.
