When Installing - Difference between Linux and Windows
 Top

  • What are the major differences when installing for a windows system and linux system?

    I am trying to upload PostNuke to a linux system to run on.

    I already have it running on a windows machine but now that I have uploaded to a linux server, there are problems with Connection to Database.

    Ideas?
  • Try the search function before posting. All scenarios have been covered pretty well. If you can't find your answer in one of the posts, then try and give a little more info so you can get the help you need.
  • If you have a reasonably recent Linux distro - and have verified that Apache, MySQL and PHP are correctly installed/running PostNuke installation is essentially the same as for a Windows box. Upload it - run http://yourdomain/install.php (or possibly http://yourdomain/yourdirectory/install.php)...

    I recently installed Fedora Core 1 on a test box and everything went beautifully.

    If you are getting an error message, you can cut/paste it into the Forums Search here, (trim out anything unique to your machine), select "search for all terms" and hit "Enter". I do this routinely and 99% of the time, I find it has already been discussed and with patience find the answer to the problem.

    OBTW, I liked Fedora so much I elected to keep it. ;)

    Hope this helps!
