That was the first thing I looked at, but gave up for some reason I forget right now :)<br/><br/>Whatever I do, I'm going to test it on a spare domain/host before. It's just low priority right now. Converting from access to sql is probably more important to me than the actual operating system, then you've got the payment gateway crap, ick. <br/><br/>I also have to get up to speed on the php thing to convert my own special hacks, and remember I'm no programmer. For you it may take 10 minutes, me, 10 days of permutations to get it right.

Did/can you move the sites to a unix box? You can tell Apache to parse .asp files for PHP to keep the old URLs, but I wouldn’t mess with that on IIS. Did/can you move the sites to a unix box?

I've still got one site to convert, it's the last remaining ecommerce site in .asp. I'm dreading converting all my own hacks from asp to php, then the nightmare that comes with redirecting thousands of pages. The only way I can think of doing it gracefully would be to convert the existing urls from .asp to folder names slowly, let the search engines catch up. Then install the new system. I don't want to mess with a sitewide revamp in one swoop. Congrats on getting that done and a good rip on windows boxes.
