Translations:Manual:Running MediaWiki on Windows/13/en


 * Notes: While the MediaWiki development teams are familiar with LAMP, under Windows you are much better off with WIMP (Windows, IIS, MySQL, PHP). Apache under Windows is a loser, especially if you are going to do any sort of Active Directory integration. Certainly, running both Apache and IIS is confusing, error prone, and generally more work than it's worth. For this reason, the following stack is recommended (at this time). The guideline is to use the native tools as much as possible. They generally work better and you are more likely to get better support.
