Hey, George,

Tell us more, George. What's "largescale" mean to you? MySQL can be configured to handle any imaginable number of simultaneous users, there are accelerators to cache static PHP pages, and many vendors build Wintel boxes that can handle thousands of transactions per second (HP has a MySQL-specific report on that - http://h71019.www7.hp.com/ActiveAnswers/cache/392607-0-0-225-121.html?ju mpid=reg_R1002_USEN ).

I use Windows/Apache/MySQL/PHP/MediaWiki. There are also setups for IIS instead of Apache. Tell us more, more, more, and we can help you more, more, more! Does http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Support_desk#How_to_create_a_new_M ediaWiki_install.2C_a_new_MediaWiki_project_page have some generalized overview links that help you?

FINALLY something I'm an expert on (geesh!). =8^o

PS - Ya know, for the least 30 years, I've found that all I need to be is 15 minutes ahead of my customer in reading the owner's manuals in order to be a successful consults. ;-) I'm only slightly kidding. One of my points is, that keeps me tethered to the customer's needs, and prevents me from wandering off into useless things customers don't; need and I can't market, like taking endless Microsoft+# courses or Novell certificate training!
