And if you plan to run a full planet OSM tile server, you better have LOTS of RAM and seriously FAST disk drives!

I managed to get the planet imported into a 24GB VMware Ubuntu VM spread across 3 physical spindles with LVM but all on a Windows 7 64 bit host.. By the time the planet was downloaded and imported, it was already 8.3 DAYS behind.

I got the osmosis/osm2pgsql job running (Minutely Mapnik) and it's now just about 1 day behind, but the import was finished on January 25 and it is now February 20. Yes, it has taken nearly a MONTH to get and apply the diffs in 6 hour chunks. At least I could drop the VM from 24GB to 7GB for the catchup phase!

I know there are some people running OSM related servers out there but
they are rare and documentation will be sparse and out of date. Also,
you haven't said what kind of OSM database you are trying to install.
I'm guessing you want a tile rendering server? That seems to be the
most common. In this case, setting up the database is only one part of
the process. Getting Mapnik to run on windows is going to be its own
chore after you get the database itself set up. Again, probably not
impossible but unless you already know a thing or two about how things
work, it isn't going to be easy.

For what it's worth, I did find this in the dev mailing list archives.
Not sure if it is what you want though.

Someone already installed OpenStreetMap database on a windows server?
I searched and I only found instructions how to do this in Linux.
Any link to documentation that explains how to install OSM on windows
server?
Thanks

I think it is, however most of the documentation available is dedicated to
Ubuntu / Debian.

Is that possible to install an OpenStreetMap database on a windows server?
Thanks
