Re: [Koha-win32] Install on IIS / MS-SQL Server / W2K ?

[robweir]

Hi Jeff:
I would strongly advise against installing on the server at work or on any
other production machine! Koha is still under development and the installs,
especially the ones for windows, are intended for people with a sense of
adventure and desire to help the development process by running them on a
TEST machine where the possible bugs won't break a production server or
program.

The windows install requires functional installs of apache web server, MySQL
database and Perl. Thoese installs would constitute MAJOR changes for a box
that is running IIS and SQLServer. And I'm sure you should not get into
trying to reconfigure Koha to run on IIS and SQLserver. No way, no way, no
way would I attempt an install on the server at work!!! Your MIS person
would never forgive you!

If you have a linux box at home, I would go that route. You will find far
more support on the koha lists for running koha on linux. There are only a
couple of us users who don't know linux and are foolish enough to be trying
to use windows.

I just got interested in Koha yesterday. I would like to install and play
with the system. Unfortunately, I'm cheap. While I could probably have this
up and running on my home computer in a couple of hours (running linux
there), I receive free webspace at work where we are running
IIS/MS-SQLServer. Since I don't own the system there is only so much
configuration I can get away with (although people are pretty good about
letting me push the limits a bit).

I was wondering if anyone had done this before (either IIS or SQLServer) and
could give me some pointers? Or if no one knows how to do it, would someone
who is familiar with the Koha system be willing to help me hack at it to
force it to work.

A warning: My perl skills suck. I can read it a little but have never done a
ny real work in it. Any and all advice/help is appreciated. Also apreciated
are wishes of luck like: "Good-luck... I hope you don't take down [removed
for legal reasons] again."

BTW: Dern legal department :-)
