I'll soon be hosting a web server on windows server 2000, I need php and mysql, and i'm wondering which server is the best to work with these tools? Apache, Nginx, IIS with php?

Are you sure your mean Windows Server 2000? Windows Server 2000 extended support ended on 2010-07-13. Hosting anything Internet-facing on the Server 2000 platform may not be in your best interest – jscott Nov 4 '11 at 0:47

Windows 2000? Why do you want to use a 12 year old product that is out of maintenance and doesn't receive any security updates anymore? – SvenW Nov 4 '11 at 0:51
Actually I misread :D its 2008 – SBSTP Nov 4 '11 at 1:07

None. It's end of support and all of those applications and Linux native. Run them on their native platform on a current and supported OS.

Edit:

Since you've changed your question from server 2000 to 2008, I'd recommend using IIS unless you have a specific reason not to. It's the native server for the platform.

to be honest its better to use linux for hosting php/mysql, Windows better for ASP/IIS but anyway from that 3 web servers use IIS.
