Installation on Windows 2008/2012 with IIS ========================================== This guide will help you to setup step by step Kanboard on a Windows Server with IIS and PHP. PHP installation ---------------- - Install IIS on your server (Add a new role and don't forget to enable CGI/FastCGI) - Install PHP by following the official documentation: - [Microsoft IIS 5.1 and IIS 6.0](http://php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis6.php) - [Microsoft IIS 7.0 and later](http://php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis7.php) - [PHP for Windows is available here](http://windows.php.net/download/) Edit the `php.ini`, uncomment these PHP modules: ```ini extension=php_curl.dll extension=php_gd2.dll extension=php_ldap.dll extension=php_mbstring.dll extension=php_openssl.dll extension=php_pdo_sqlite.dll ``` Set the time zone: ```ini date.timezone = America/Montreal ``` The list of supported time zones can be found in the [PHP documentation](http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.america.php). Check if PHP runs correctly: Go the IIS document root `C:\inetpub\wwwroot` and create a file `phpinfo.php`: ```php ``` Open a browser at `http://localhost/phpinfo.php` and you should see the current PHP settings. If you got an error 500, something is not correctly done in your installation. Notes: - If you use PHP < 5.4, you have to enable the short tags in your php.ini - Don't forget to enable the required php extensions mentioned above - If you got an error about "the library MSVCP110.dll is missing", you probably need to download the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio from the Microsoft website. Kanboard installation --------------------- - Download the zip file - Decompress the archive in `C:\inetpub\wwwroot\kanboard` by example - Make sure the directory `data` is writable by the IIS user - Open your web browser to use Kanboard http://localhost/kanboard/ - The default credentials are **admin/admin** Tested configurations --------------------- - Windows 2008 R2 Standard Edition / IIS 7.5 / PHP 5.5.16 - Windows 2012 Standard Edition / IIS 8.5 / PHP 5.3.29
