Is there any way to install the Windows Server AppFabric on the windows server 2008 web edition ?
Or at least the WCF hosting enviroment.
What are the supported edition for appfabric ?
What makes you think you can't install AppFabric on Server 2008 Web? Comparing the Server 2008 Web overview here and the AppFabric requirements here I don't see anything that suggests the two aren't compatible.
The rationale behind this is that Appfabric is designed for the middle-tier, not the web tier.
So. Accepting that you can't install on Web Server, what are your options?
Windows Server 2008, Standard Edition
So if you want to use AppFabric but you can't afford Enterprise Edition, can you afford Windows 2008 Server Standard Edition. AppFabric will install on it quite happily, and you can install IIS and DNS services on it to replicate what you get in Web Edition. The only thing you won't have is the high availability AppFabric features, but had you been able to install on Web Edition you wouldn't have had that anyway so you're not missing out.
AppFabric Client on Web Server, AppFabric Service on Standard Edition
Kind of an extension of 1. If you have your heart set on using Windows Web Server, you can install the AppFabric client libraries on Web Server, and then run the AppFabric service on a Standard Edition server.
Other Distributed Cache
Could you use one of the other distributed caching setups e.g. memcached, SharedCache, NCache?

Since the azure database not support the reporting service anymore, I have to use a reporting service on a sql server running on an azure virtual machine to get the reporting service for my azure websites. The azure websites uses the reporting service web services to provides the report functions to users.
My question is, Can the web edition work for that purpose? Or has to be at least standard edition.
The standard edition even for 1 core costs 410$ per month + the virtual machine cost. Which does not make any sense to me at all, because we only use the reporting services on that sql server running on the virtual machine.
Can web edition reporting service connect to the azure database as the data source?
You need to have Standard Edition or higher for connecting to remote data sources.
In Web Edition Reporting Services only supports connecting to a local Web Edition of SQL Server DbEngine. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993.aspx#Reporting
I need to install the SQL Server 2012 Web Edition on my web server for my web application and I would like to know if I can install the Analysis Services on this edition and create some cubes of my clients data.
Thanks
Looking at this: Features Supported by the Editions of SQL Server 2012 my guess is that it is not supported and that you'll need a different (Enterprise, Business Intelligence or Standard) edition to run analysis Services.
I have installed Sql Server 2005 Enterprise Edition... It installed just Client Services and Support Files... It did not install Database Engine... Also in SQL Server Configuration Manager->SQL Server 2005 Services and Network Configuration is empty...
What I have to do? Is there any way to install Database Services separately...
I know that Standard and Express Editions install that Database Services also..
But I want to study how to behave when I have installed SQL Server(just server) should I install some client or what?
Can you help me?
Thank you a lot.
You are using windows XP or a home edition of Windows Vista or 7...
SQLServer Enterprise edition does not install database engine on these operations systems, because they are not server os.
You should use Standard Edition that will work for you fine, or change your os !
does anyone know if this can be done? I can find Windows Server 2003 but not 2008.
I read you can create your own EC2 Virtual machines, but I haven't found any articles that say you can do this with Windows Server 2008.
I'm really after IIS7, but I'd also intend to use SQL Server Express 2008 until such time as I can add support for SimpleDB or maybe fire up a seperate SQL Server instance.
I also have some Windows Services which run. Which puts shared hosting out the window mostly. Yes there's Azure but I think that would involve more effort than I want to spend initially.
Any help much appreciated,
My current stack is
Windows Server 2008
IIS7
.Net 3.5 SP1
Asp.net MVC
Some Windows Services
Linq2Sql
SQL Server Express 2008
You can now!
Amazon revealed Windows Server 2008 availability in december 2009 and there are pre-build AMIs ready for use either with or without Sql Server 2008.
See their Windows information page for more info about pricing and such. The Windows & .NET Developer Center is also a useful resource.
Amazon EC2 does not currently support any Windows besides Windows 2003.
Have you tried hosting.com's cloud? http://hosting.com/cloudhosting/enterprise/
Yes you can!
Using either QEmu or VirtualBox on top of a bare-bone linux server
as for the QEmu option you may start here.
Guides for VirtualBox are available everywhere, simply Google for them
I'm in the process of looking for a dedicated server to host my soon to be released web apps. THey are build with ASP.NEt and uses Sql Server 2005. I've got a great deal with a company for a Intel Core2Quad Q9300 with 8Gb or ram and 750Gb sata.
They offer me Windows 2003 64 Standard or Windows 2008 64 Web for free, which one should I choose?
My main concern is about the database, in the first moment I'm going to have only one box to host both the web and database layer. Will I be able to install SQL Server (initially the express edition, then eventually the standard) on the Web version of Windows 2008?
If you can get Server 2008, i'd go with it because IIS7 is an excellent Upgrade to IIS6.
SQL Server Standard 2008 64-Bit is officially supported on Windows 2008 Web Server. SQL Server Enterprise 2008 64-Bit is NOT (not sure if it does work and is only not listed. 32-Bit Enterprise is listed, but running 32-Bit on a modern server does not sound appealing). See System Requirements here for a full list of SQL Server 2008 Editions and supported Servers.
Not sure about SQL Server 2005, there seems to be a patch needed.
You can run SQL Server on Server 2008 Web Edition (this is a change from Server 2003 Web Edition). The main limitations I am aware of between Web and Standard for 2008 is Web cannot do any kind of virtualization, Active Directory or DNS management, etc. It is intended to be essentially an application server.
I would recommend the newer OS, since it comes with IIS7 and the enhanced TCP/IP (among other things).
If its free, go for the standard version. Here is a comparison of the features:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/compare-features.aspx
I've never noticed any performance differences in the versions, so might as well get features you might use someday. Expensive to upgrade later.
You can run the SQL on either one.
