Serving files from linux share on IIS 6.0 - linux

dHi, I'm trying to setup my IIS server (6.0) to serve files from a linux share.
As I'm pretty unfamiliar with linux I ask the community for any input on this.
I've had problems even having IIS server serve content from another windows machine share, this could be a prolem with our domain. The iis server is not on the domain.
As I want to move more towards open source and linux I think having a simple file server is a good way to start.
I took the linux distro chooser at http://www.zegeniestudios.net and it recommends OpenSuse/Mandriva/Ubuntu.
Any oppinions on that would be welcome aswell.

You could use Samba to crate a Windows share on Linux.

It is possible to run both IIS and Apache servers together for same application on linux?

here is a brief what I am trying to achieve.
I am working with an application which is in WordPress and running on Apache and in one of the screen (page) it's require to use any already built module which has a large set of functionality built in .Net, that require an IIS support.
I am running WordPress application on Linux and not sure if Linux provide that flexibility to run both servers Apache and IIS at the same time.
Have gone through with some blogs but nothing yet, not sure even it's possible or not.
Any suggestion would be appreciated...
Not is possible run IIS over linux, you can use kestrel with netCore ,because IIS not is cross plataform, many applications that run "net framework" you can migrate to "net standard" , one option is install "docker windows machine iis" but only run in windows machines

Play! Framework shared folder between VM and Host not triggering webhook

I've ran into an awkward issue. I'll try and explain this as best as I can so bare with.
I'm running Play! on a Linux VM (Oracle VirtualBox), with sbt run command in my terminal it works perfectly fine. If I use an IDE on my VM the webhook catches the change and does a reload.
I've shared a folder between my Host (Windows) and my VM (Linux) where my project directory is. I've also extended a port so that I can open my Play! web application on the Windows machine.
On my Windows Host machine I'm running an IDE (IntelliJ) and when I change something on a file, the Play! webhook running on my VM doesn't seem to pick up the changes made, even though it's listening for changes in my shared folder.
Question: Is there some sort of configuration or share folder magic
trick to get my Play! application to pick up the changes made from the
Host machine?
Thanks for reading, any help is appreciated.
inotify does not work on VMWare's shared folder. You might be able to convince SBT's filewatcher to use polling, but that doesn't work really well.

Hosting website in INTRAnet environment

Is there any safe way to host a site Net core website through a installer (may be in IIS), similar to any desktop application installer?
e.g. Neo4j works as webservice but has its own jetty server to host. U just download and its up and working.
I dont understand your problem. Why you just dont run your app with Kestrel? (dotnet <patch_to_your_dll)

Creating a executable linux (e. g. LAMP) virtualization for windows?

We are developing a web application in TYPO3 Flow for one of our customers. Usally it should run on a web server over the internet, but there should also be an offline version for windows.
Our customer would sell this application with the two versions, on the web server it's combiled/crypted with Zend so his customer isn't able to change the code or anything like this.
Our idea for the offline windows application is, that we create an executable linux virtualisation with an installed apache and maybe with an pre-installed browser. So the user only starts the executable and the package will start with the browser pointing on the webapp.
Is there any solution, I think something like VMWare ThinApp (but I think this it's only for windows applications)?
Or you can build a bootable USB stick based on a linux distribution, with a custom version of some distribution like webconverger, but the user must reboot to use it.
Or you can customize a Virtual Box image, based on Turnkey Lamp Stack per exemple, but the user must have a copy of Virtual Box (that's free).

From PHP (LAMP) to Classic ASP, how to setup a dev environment

I'm jumping into updating a Classic ASP web app coming from a PHP background and am trying to get my bearings. I'm used to just installing something like MAMP, messing the httpd.conf a bit and getting on my way.
Ideally, I would like to be able to edit this app completely locally on my Macbook Pro running OS X Leopard so that I'm not messing with my client's server too much. Now, if I need to I'm willing to install Windows 7 via Boot Camp or running it as a virtual machine. Of course my preference is to stay completely in OS X, but I have my doubts about that possibility. So, how should I go about this?
One thing to note is that once I'm done updating this ASP web app I will have to make changes to a VB(.NET) application as well, so I'd like to have to change my virtual workspace as little as possible when that time comes around.
As you say, you will need to install Windows via Boot Camp or VM (your choice).
Once in Windows, you can install Visual Studio 2010 (Express free), where you can edit your ASP Classic files, and you will have it already installed when you need to do VB.net
Do not forget to install IIS when you install Windows (you will need it to run ASP Classic)
