Re: [Koha] koha on windows 7 install instructions?
Honestly, I would not bother trying to install Koha on Windows. In my opinion it is not worth the trouble. The easy way to go is to dual boot your windows machine so you can choose between Windows and some Linux version (I know a lot of people here use Debian, but Koha runs as well on other Linux platforms) I am running Windows 7 and Debian 6 on a laptop, and Koha runs very well on it. That's my 2 cents. If you are new to Linux, do not despair, there are quite a few helpful websites, like linuxquestions.org From: Syneran syne...@yahoo.com To: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Sent: Friday, January 27, 2012 9:52:25 AM Subject: [Koha] koha on windows 7 install instructions? I'm having a tough time finding information about installing koha on windows. Installing apache, perl, and mysql on windows is no problem. The issues arise when trying to install koha. The a2enmod and a2ensite commands are difficult to translate into something meaninful for windows (since my knowledge what these commands do is sketchy). I'm willing to document the process for windows installation and submit it to the docs team for any future windows people. I just need some help or pointers on getting this up and running. Also, the install notes say: ln -s /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/koha which I guess is softlinking the .conf file to a file in the sites-available subdir of apache2. However, my windows intall of apache 2.2 has no subdirectory called sites-available. Any help is super appreciated.

Re: [Koha] koha on windows 7 install instructions?
Hello. I'm having a tough time finding information about installing koha on windows. Installing apache, perl, and mysql on windows is no problem. The issues arise when trying to install koha. I'm not surprised. Installing Koha on Windows is very difficult. I'd recommend against running Koha directly on Windows in the strongest possible terms. If, however, you want to brave it, Chris Nighswonger has written a guide to how he got Koha running under Windows: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_3.4 I'm willing to document the process for windows installation and submit it to the docs team for any future windows people. I just need some help or pointers on getting this up and running. Also, the install notes say: ln -s /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/koha which I guess is softlinking the .conf file to a file in the sites-available subdir of apache2. However, my windows intall of apache 2.2 has no subdirectory called sites-available. You'll need to read the documentation on using Apache under Windows to figure out where .conf files with Apache virtual hosts go. a2enmod is for enabling Apache modules (probably has to be at compile time under Windows), and a2ensite is for enabling sites. I can't offer any more help than that, as I stopped using Microsoft products willingly before Windows XP was released.
