Management Charles Posted May 5, 2015 Management Posted May 5, 2015 The Suite still works on Windows servers and many clients have no problems.When we say we do not offer Windows server support it's simply a matter of our staff and systems have no experience with Windows servers. Therefore the assistance we can offer is limited. Obviously nearly all clients use a Linux variant to host our software.
TheSonic Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 There was a Topic a short time ago - i am unable to find it right now.It was discussed, that it's hard for the supportstaff to Support Windows Servers, because most People run Linux-Servers with Apache, PHP and MySQL. So some Clients told, they always get "This is a serverissue", if they contact IPS-Support.I don't know, if this is true - but they did not annouce or told us, they do not Support Windows anymore. I am a techadmin of a IPS4-Suite hosted on Windows and have a testinstall on Windows2012 R2 and it's working. Of course, you have to do some stuff, because they use htaccess and all the Linux-things - but you are free to use Apache on a windows-Server or create a web.config for IIS based on the httaccess-files. You also Need to know the permissionseetings on Windows and be sure, PHP is Setup correctly - and you are good to go I think they will not drop the ability to run IPS4 on Windows, perhaps Limit Support for Windowssystems.

TheSonic Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Like Charles mentioned, they limit Support on Windows, but IPS4 is running on a well configured WAMP-Environment - and also with IIS
Management Charles Posted May 6, 2015 Management Posted May 6, 2015 Like Charles mentioned, they limit Support on Windows, but IPS4 is running on a well configured WAMP-Environment - and also with IIS Yes as TheSonic points out it will run fine on Windows... we just don't know what to tell you when Windows doesn't work right
