Hi,

We have a windows server and a dotnet website in it.
It's working fine and now I was asked to install wordpress in it.
So, When I upload the wordpress and run it, our server down. And I need to restart it.

How can I successfull run a wordpress in it. Please help me, it's urgent. I HAVEN'T ANY DEEP KNOWLEDGE IN IT.

And where to purchase domain names. Is there any standard authority, since we have our own server, is it possible to have it our own domain. Please explain in it in detail.

Thank you,
#php #server #windows

    this is not something you can just explain in detail in a few minutes..
    You need to install PHP on your Windows server.. try googling for LAMP.

    However it seems you don't know much about servers (no offense) so I would HIGHLY recommend not doing this yourself but to hire someone as you can really mess this up and forget important (security) configurations which can really hurt your business.

      LAMP servers are LINUX Apache MySQL PHP. He's using windows. What he needs is WAMP.

      Don't get me wrong, I think LAMP is absolutely the way to go. Running a server on windows is suicidal. But by the sounds of it the OP isn't a 'nix guy

    Well, did you have any problems with file permissions after installed Wordpress through Web Platform Installer?

    Actually what he wants is to run PHP on IIS.
    Microsoft has a whole site about that:
    PHP on IIS7 : The Official Microsoft IIS Site

    Install Apache and set it to listen to port: 8080 so it doesn't interferes with IIS on its default port: 80

    It's very simple to do, just google it.

    WAMP / WinLamp not completely upt-to-date with the current packages names but when I was using it many years ago to test out some stuff on my home Windows comp I think it was just called LAMP for Windows or something but yeah I checked and nowadays google for WAMP However same statement still stands.. get somebody to do it for you if it is for production website.
