Web Application VS Windows Application
-
because the current application we are using is .exe (VB.NET) for this reason we decided to rebuilt the project using PHP (web application)

i'm very sorry guys, i was in a meeting regarding this project,
actually i was informed that this project will not be only a payroll application but it should be kind of a small ERP that include all modules that our enterprise is working on, it is the best news i heard today, because we will migrate from VB.net to a whole PHP application, because we faced a limitation with .net because the boss want to access the portal from his mobile, so the decision was made to start a web application from scratch, i think it was the best decision ever made in my company,
While I am 100% in support of PHP over .NET here, I do have to point out that .NET has no limitation on mobile, that's a mistake that someone made in that meeting. .NET can do anything PHP can do there and more.
does VB.net application .exe can be hosted and accessed in android devices ??? (i'm not talking about ASP.NET)
You only said .Net not VB.Net Thus the confusion.
ah sorry for that, i just said .NET because in the same sentence i mention which .NET i'm referring to, sorry for confusion

Basically, since you are abandoning vb.net, you should abandon Windows completely.
Use a LAMP stack then since those are very simple and familiar to many people.
Spin up a CentOS 7 box, install MariaDB (replacement for MySQL), PHP, and Apache.

no. we cannot made such transition right now, we are still relying on microsoft,

Why are those your options? Neither is really a valid option today (for most things.) MariaDB replaced MySQL in nearly all cases a few years ago. MariaDB is the actually database 90% of people mean when they say MySQL.

but i do not know in which one i should host my future database
i have one in windows in easyPHP, and i have apache and mysql and phpmyadmin on ubuntu

Yes, MariaDB (what you call MySQL) is faster and more stable on Linux. It's also much easier.
yum -y install mariadb
That's all you need.

WHy would you install PHP on Windows? That makes no sense. PHP and MariaDB and Apache all run better and have more support and are easier on Linux. And... FREE!!!
-
Don't install with "easy" stack tools. Those are almost always a huge disaster.

No. MySQL is a database. SQL Server is a database.
Neither one is the OS.
sorry Mr @JaredBusch , i think there is a confusion here, i said i have 2 servers: windows and ubuntu, i have mysql on both OS, i hope my idea is clear now

That helps. Why do you have a database on both?
-
i have mysql on windows a long ago, but recently i installed one application that work only on linux platform so i installed mysql in ubuntu along side with this linux application,
-
Okay.. so only the MariaDB on Ubuntu is what matters here, right? The MySQL on Windows is a red herring?
-
ok, but i just search on the internet about this mariaDB, i found that it is different than mysql
