How to Move Wordpress from Linux to Windows Server 2012 R2 with IIS 8

Moving WordPress « WordPress Codex:



'via Blog this'



There is one quick addition to this article on Wordpress. If your site has a different version of PHP than your webserver then you can change the PHP version in IIS PHP manager for various sites on the server. This way, you can host more than one version of WP/PHP on the server.


It may not matter which order you install PHP.

What hours should a cash and carry business remain open?

I have a friend who knows a guy, etc...that runs a shop here in the US. I frequently wonder what hours a shop like this should stay open. Is it profitable to remain open 24 hours a day?

Suffice to say that the products are substantially in demand around the clock, unlike say milk, sugar and eggs. (haha jk)

This is a simple formula I was thinking about to answer the question:

(($ business / day) * 7 days) / 7 / (average total hours open per day) = $ / hr

There has to be a co-factor that determines the need or potential earnings in fringe hours. 4AM to 8AM or 12AM to 4AM are different than retail peak hours in a US suburban market, and this isn't a food place.

As the co-factor goes toward 0, the $/hr would also. But, if the co-factor remains at a point where the hourly operating costs are less than the profit, the shop should stay open 24 hours a day.

The co-factor model may be more granular if the market buying capacity within a certain area of this shop is definable. For example, there are many coffee establishments but fewer computer repair places per unit area. People will also more randomly stop at a coffee shop than a computer repair place. Yet this shop has a need more similar to a coffee house.
