Re: [Koha] Installing Koha 3.0.0 on Windows PLUS Koha website update?
Carmel, Like that old joke, you can run Koha 3 on any platform as long as it's UNIX. Koha 3 for Windows isn't ready yet as far as I know. Here's a link to a recent discussion of the issue: http://www.nabble.com/Windows-install-for-Koha-3-td18758644.html If you have the resources to set up a Linux machine, do give Koha 3 a try. I have the 2.2.9 on Windows on one laptop partition and 3.0.0 on Ubuntu on another and the new release is quite nice. Because it's web-based, you only need the server to run UNIX. The news release does seem to be in error at this time. Can anyone change that? There have been many questions about this subject recently and it seems fair to all involved to give out the best information. This is the page we're talking about: http://www.koha.org/about-koha/news/nr1218407616.html And here is the text: 4. Cross-platform, multi-RDBMS, Web-server agnostic - Run Koha on the platform of your choice: Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Solaris. Koha 3 also includes better support for multi-RDBMS (MySQL 5.0 and PostgreSQL), and runs under Apache2, IIS, or the web server of your choosing. --Betsy On Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 11:24 PM, Carmel Young <carmel.malawi@gmail.com> wrote:
We just can't figure out how to Install 3.0.0 on a Windows platform. The website says that this version is available for 'the platform of your choice" and we have trawled through the Install notes but have found no reference to Windows. Can anyone give usa helping hand, please? Thanks, Carmel _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha

Hi Betsy Thanks for the heads up, I suspect a cut and paste for the 2.2.9 release notes :) Fixed now. Chris

Hi Betsy

There's nothing inherent about KOha 3.0 that prevents it from running on Windows, it's just a matter of someone taking the time to document how to do it.
