web server setup

I have a server that will be running as a web server and a database server?
To get the best performance is it better to install the database and web
server on seperate physical hard drives? or it doesn't matter?
I have a total of 8 harddrives, what RAID setup should i choose?
Thanks,

You can implement level 0 for improved performance but you will need a
controller that supports what you want to do. Try to avoid RAID at the
O/S level - get some hardware that will handle it for you.

Fred,
Yes it is.
There isn't one setup you should choose. You need to juggle the following:
- mirrored pair gives more performance than RAID5
- SQL Log File can be better on its own drive separate from the SQL data,
allowing both to be written at the same time
- OS page file ideally on separate drive, but its a toss up between this and
the SQL log file.
So a typical setup would be either mirrored pair for OS plus RAID5 for data;
or mirrored pair for OS, mirrored pair for SQL logs and RAID5 for data.
Other factors to consider: more memory to save writing to disk; enterprise
editions to use more memory.

web service setup project missing "primary output"

I've seen this same question in a few places but no answers so I'm really hoping someone can help cause it's kinda urgent (i.e. my boss is really on my case about it!)

I have created an asp.net web service project with Visual Studio 2005. Tested and works when run within the Studio environment. I now need to deploy it and have added a web setup project to my solution. But when I try to add the "Primary Output" the only option I am presented with is the "Content Files". Where is the "Primary output"?

Everything I've read indicates there should be one and trying to install my web service onto my PC doesn't give me a working Web Service. The implication is that I'm missing something missing from my msi ? or have I failed to configure something in the IIS correctly?

Kind Regards
