Everything in the one package?, its fantastico!

Cheers Chilli!

PS: hope it installs okay with server 2008

1149880 2010-11-03 03:00:00 Yeah it's great, installs OK on pretty much everything. Or, just get the zip package otherwise. In Server 2008 you may need to right-click on the executable, go into the properties, and allow it to be run, depending on your server settings of course.

There's additional details down the bottom of that page too which help with getting XYZ setup. For internal stuff, it's ideal, quick to install, quick to pack down and move around ... :D

1149881 2010-11-03 09:50:00 One thing with XAMPP, its easy as hell to set up, but in its default state, it has no passwords anywhere. Make sure you fix that before it goes into production. Other than that, it's a great pre-rolled windows server setup.

Also, only install/run what you need, so you might want to skip the TomCat, OpenSSL, FTP, and Mercury Mail options.

1149882 2010-11-03 19:37:00 Okay, i have a server setup, not worried about passwords for now, its only internal....

1149883 2010-11-03 20:16:00 You download the software, phpBB3, install it by following a basic web-based installation, then you're all ready to go! :) Chilling_Silence (9)

1149885 2010-11-03 20:40:00 You might need to create a new SQL user / db using phpmyadmin which ships with Xampplite I believe? Chilling_Silence (9)
1149886 2010-11-03 20:42:00 PhpBB has very minimal system requirements .




PhpBB Needs XAMPP Has

SQL Database [x]

PHP [x]

XAMPP Lite: . apachefriends . org/en/xampp-windows . html#646" target="_blank">www . apachefriends . org

It will run fine .
