Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to install Koha on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server? Thanks! -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-and-Windows-Server-2008-R2-tp5735617.... Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

It is possible, but definitely not recommended. Following something like this http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_3.2#Koha_3.2_on_Win32_w.2FStrawberr... might get you there in the end. In a technical sense, it will perform a lot lot worse than on a non-legacy OS like Linux. I'm sure you already know the ethical arguments against it. You are much better off running on Linux .. next best option is running Linux in a virtual machine on a windows host. Hope this helps Chris
Hi Chris, Thanks for your input. We found out that MS Server 2008 R2 did not work well. We are now attempting Debian. -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-and-Windows-Server-2008-R2-tp5735617p... Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

As the author of the above-mentioned wiki link, I want to +1 what Chris C. says. You will be *much* better off using Linux. Kind Regards, Chris
