Thanks to all to keep part to this discussion with your opinions and suggestions
Indeed I wrote as first line of my ... ehm ... tutorial
This is both a tutorial and a request to those who are more prepared than me (practically all of you!) if my chooses are acceptable or if there are better solutions
For me (and I saw also for others) it is a great advantage to install FLARUM in the same VPS in Windows that I am forced to use due my job software packages
clarkwinkelmann I can only google around to find some solution. During the procedure they asked me for jdk o jre. I download and installed both of them but this didn't solve. So I read somewhere to install java and now it's all fine
Zeokat Most of you insist and persist in a tutorial to install Flarum, but what you really need is a tutorial to install Apache / Nginx + Mysql / MariaDB + PHP 7.2.
I perfectly agree ... but it is useless to say that they need if then nobody writes them!
I didn't find anything on how to install FLARUM on a Windows VPS and so at least I took a first step reporting my experience
In any case I can proceed with caution to test the xampp since the domain is mapped through cloudflare and it is a matter of seconds to change the A RECORD and point to another VPS or hosting and migrate there my FLARUM
I really appreciate your kind judgments and suggestions
Thx. Marco
