I have not had much experience with IIS but if i remember you will want to add index.php to the default documents box within your websites properties. Look at 2nd image down for what I am referring to here.

apache is more secure and powerful server than iis server.

apache is open source....

Only use IIS if you are working for somebody who will not give you any choice of using something else.

Thansk all..

I solved the index problem...I use index.php in the default and it works fine.

 

yeah...I am now using apache....but as a web server I havn't still find any better things than IIS does.

There aren't as many dangerous exploits released for it and worms are more likely to be attacking IIS instead.

 

It's multiplatform so if you ever want to use a different operating system, or work with somebody who does, you won't need to change anything or learn anything new.

 

I THINK it has better performance with PHP, but I'm not 100% absolutely positively sure.

If it does then that means you won't need as much/as expensive hardware to handle the same load that you would in IIS.

And thus, monetary savings (profits) on top of the obvious fact that it's free.
