Howdy Everyone
A brief summary for those who do not want to read everything from the beginning
- I am a financial consultant
- I'm OBLIGED to use only software that is more than twenty years old and there are no alternatives
- They are all in Windows
- After 30 years of work I've a giant VPS with all customers data
- I'd like very much to use FLARUM... it's so easy and it's so fluid ... a very substitute of one to one consultant
CAUTION !!! MY IS ONLY A TEST, DO NOT USE IT FOR ANY REASON IN PRODUCTION
I found 3 solutions to keep my WINDOWS VPS
- The XAMPP that I described here and that from the installation has NEVER GAVE PROBLEMS AND HAS ZERO STOP ... but I'm testing it with a few volunteers ... I do not know how it will behave in production
- I installed Wordpress with Bitnami, then I deleted Wordpress and i used the scaffold for FLARUM
- I activated Windows Server native IIS then I installed both the PHP and the mysql for IIS and they work very well
... but as I said, these are only tests and I have strong doubts that they will work in production
The conclusion ... I decided to leave the idea of use WINDOWS VPS FOR FLARUM... much better if I use a dedicated hosting or vps
Can you recommend me a good hosting or vps for a final installation of FLARUM in production?
Thx. Marco
