The Apache to IIS 6.0 Migration Tool installation process on the source server and on an intermediate computer running Linux is identical. The versions of Linux supported by the tool are listed in Overview of Migrating Apache Web Sites to IIS 6.0.

Install the Apache to IIS 6.0 Migration Tool on the computer running Linux by completing the following steps:

  1. Install the Internet Information Services 6.0 Resource Kit Tools from the Microsoft Download Center onto a computer other than the target server.

  2. Install Perl on the computer running Linux.

    Because the Apache to IIS 6.0 Migration Tool is written in Perl, you must install a Perl interpreter before you can run the tool. Install Perl on the computer running Linux and verify that the Perl interpreter is configured properly before installing the tool. To obtain a free copy of Perl, see ActivePerl.

  3. Create a folder to contain the Apache to IIS 6.0 Migration Tool on the computer running Linux.

  4. Change to the folder created in Step 3 so that the folder is the current working folder.

Copy the file AIISMT_linux.tar.gz from the systemroot\Program Files\AIISMT folder on the computer in Step 1 to the folder created in Step 3.

  1. At a Linux command line type tar -zxvf AIISMT_linux.tar.gz.

    The compressed files are extracted to the folder created in step 3.
