Totally disable IIS?

[JonTheBaller]

I tried installing IIS to try out a PHP script, but then decided I no longer wanted it and would rather go with Apache. How do I make sure that IIS is totally disabled?

Uninstall it.

 

[vash]

Like bunker said, uninstall IIS.

Uninstall IIS from Add/Remove programs and view your localhost for a webpage. If you cannot view a website off localhost, or ftp to your localhost, IIS is removed.

vash

and kick your self for not using Apache Seriously Apache for Win32 is not that pad, and it beats the heck out of IIS.

Yeah, ok, I tried IIS, and didn't like it. I switched to Apache, which is much more flexible and secure, but it was a b|tch to configure! Stupid config files. I tried using a few front-ends to the Apache config files, but still.. Damn!

VBboy is right. Apache is not going to hold your hand and kiss your boo boo's like IIS, but there is a reason why it is the most widely used web server and its is b/c it is damn good. The documentation is pretty good, and the conf files are documented, so your should be able to set it up. My advice it to stay away from the front ends. They always seem to make things more complicated imo.
