Installation / Pre-Installation FAQs

What are the minimum requirements to run DAP?

  • PHP version 5+
  • MySQL 4+
  • PDO for PHP library installed and enabled for MySQL

These are commonly available on most web hosts. And we’ve seen that most web hosts enable these for your web site, at no additional cost, if you just asked them.

Hi Ravi,

I’m running 64-bit windows server 2008 with IIS 7 and PHP, MySQL etc. Instead of a Cron job, I’d need to use windows scheduler (or setup a scheduled task in the ColdFusion administrator…hehe). My question is have you seen any issues with installing your software on 64-bit windows server 2008 with IIS 7?

Thanks

Tom,

DAP has never been tested on a Windows server. DAP relies on your web site having these features:

* .htaccess support
* PHP 5 / MySQL4
* PDO for MySQL

Using Win Scheduler instead of Cron is totally fine. The main thing is for your site to support the above requirements.

If your site does support this, then it’s certainly worth a shot.
