coppermine and windows

[thegent]

please tell me why dont you ever include install instructions for windows users
why would a windows user know what chmod is all about
you appear to assume that the world revolves around linux, not so i'm afraid

[Nibbler]

There are instructions in the docs for setting permissions on windows for IIS and apache.

[thegent]

then why not in the readme as well

and the docs would be much easier to use as a pdf that is printable

[Joachim Müller]

good rant, I'm looking forward to seing you as a contributor and maintainer of the docs in various formats . If you should choose not to volunteer for this job, then I suggest you review your attitude.
Imo, someone who's running a server of his own should be able to go through all available docs before asking questions like yours. Final recommendation: get a real OS that is capable of running a webserver, not some desktop playtoy.

Pssst... he is running Windows

[Joachim Müller]

yeah, he probably even thinks it's an operating system

[kegobeer]

Hey... I run Windows.... it works great!    Of course, I'd never use it as a webserver.

[Joachim Müller]

hehe, don't worry - I run Windows as well, and I'm happy that all those issues exist with it - this way, I'm able to make a living. I even run a Windows/IIS webserver on the company's intranet (don't laugh at me, it wasn't my decision - I was young and needed the money ), that's why I'm dead sure that it isn't an actual operating system

[kegobeer]

I know what you mean - I had to develop an ASP 3 application at work.  Talk about suuuuuuckkkkk!

[Tranz]

My main computer at work is a Linux machine and I would often prefer/miss Windows, but I also wouldn't use Windows as a public web server.

Hey, if you want better Windows support, you need better representation on the dev team. Everyone here is a volunteer and uses what's at their disposal. It just so happens a lot of dev team members use Linux web servers.
