Hi,
I was wondering if anyone out there has successfully setup OJS in a Windows environment ?
And if you would be willing to share their experiences.
I would like to set it up on a Windows XP or 2003 machine with Internet Information Server 6, MySQL and PHP 5
I think quite a few things have to reconfigured in the OJS install scripts to even complete the initial setup of this journal system.
I was hoping someone could share what changes they made in order to make it work under windows.
Appreciate any help.
regards
Gul

I have OJS installed on a Windows 2000 workstation and on my Win98SE laptop for development purposes. No special 'reconfiguration was necessary'. I'm running Apache 1.3.x, PHP 4.3.3 and MySQL 4.0.x. In addition, the Windows 2000 machine has Perl, Python and Tomcat installed. Our production environment is Red Hat Linux however.
I stay away from Win XP because I don't like the service packs. Win 2003 is still in beta (no matter what MS says). I would avoid using PHP 5 for OJS, because it was developed on PHP 4. I wouldn't use IIS either.

thanks for the reply John,
I have OJS working on Win2k/apache/mysql/php5, test machine.
But to put it on a production machine it will have to be on WinXP/2003/ IIS, since our computing environment only has Windows products.
I'll have to try hard to convince the management to move towards Apache, but I'll try.
thanks
