I would love to work with modern technology
-
I am currently working on a new product and we want to use a self hosted discussion forum. Should be easy? Just use one of the 324502502935 available ones which doesn't suck edit your docker-compose file to include the forum and do some work on the frontend?
No, not for us - it needs to be windows, should run in IIS and booo docker is evil.
Argh! I spend the whole day trying to monkey patch something to be usable and get it to run in iis. Which is especially nice because the used FastCgi module basically just says "does not work" and thats your whole error.
It'S 2017....

@HdS I heard Community Server works quite nicely on IIS.

@HdS IIS is not that difficult. You just haven't used it. Roll out a VM, send everyone the IP to update their host file. Done.
I mean, it's not like docker doesn't have any disadvantages.

Since you're stuck with ancient technology (Windows + IIS), you can still run phpBB

There are also other message board systems that are plain PHP but don't completely suck.

It's not like I said "you can ONLY run phpBB"

Yeah, and I'm asking who said it works quite nicely on IIS.

It'S 2017....Is the person you report to deeply technical? If not just spin up a VM and say the forum is an 'appliance' running on its own machine. They don't need to know what's going on under the hood.
You could even use Hyper-V, CentOS runs really happily on that. Then it's on Windows

Which makes me wonder: I should really check to see if it still fucks the Task Manager reporting of the current clock speed. Last time I enabled it on my laptop and it claimed I magically got almost triple the GHz...
