Target Server Installation Option

  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 with SP1

When you select the target server installation option, you install and run the Apache to IIS 6.0 Migration Tool on the target server, which runs Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6.0. In addition, you must install and configure the FTP service on the source server.

Figure 7.4 illustrates the migration process for the target server installation option.

The process for migrating Apache Web sites when you select the target server installation option is as follows:

  1. The Apache to IIS 6.0 Migration Tool prompts you for the appropriate user credentials for the source and target servers.

  2. The tool then transfers the Apache-based Web site content and the configuration information from the source server to the target server by way of FTP.

  3. The tool applies the Web site configuration settings to the IIS 6.0 Web sites on the target server.
