I got a request to put one web application written in PHP+MySql that runs normally on Linux machine (which is set up as web server) to Windows VPS.
I did some research and found out I could install WAMP and host the application via that practically the same way as I had it on my Linux machine, but since I don't have experience with this I'm asking you guys if this is a "valid option" or it's not suggested at all?
Potentially there area several pitfalls in migrating an application across different machines with the same operating system, between different machines with compatible OS and particularly betwen machines running incompatible OS (where I'm classifying UNIX/BSD/Linux as 'compatible' operating systems). But without reading all the code I can't tel you whether you will be affected by these problems.
That you needed to do some research to find out about WAMP suggests that you will struggle if these issues manifest for your application.
Why do you want to move it? Why not a Linux VM?
