We've an old server 2003, running IIS 6.0, that I'm hoping to decommission and move over to our main hosting platform (which runs Ubuntu Lucid and Apache 2.2.14, with php 5.3-ish). I'm trying to find a solution to bring across over the old websites, if possible. I might be trying to reinvent the wheel here, not sure.
Webages on that IIS are old. Very old. Most of which are ancient, Geocities-style HTML ones (no ASP.Net though). Some use Frontpage extensions. default.htm might not be interpreted as the index page. Let's assume that it's not a problem, and we leave the task of updating the code to users. No databases whatsoever behind those websites.
Suppose I already created the vhost on the Linux side, that's the easy part.
How do I go about exporting and transferring everything in the application pool from a Windows to a Linux environment? Is there an application that does this, hopefully not a proprietary one? A Google search mostly returned "don't do it" kind of results, as the platforms are not very compatible - but I guess I'm looking for a second opinion. There's a tool to do it the other way around (Apache to IIS), there has to be something out there.
Thanks in advance.
