Will this work on a windows server? I searched the topics and see people having to install on a Apache server then export the MySQL tables to the windows install. Can someone provide a simple SQL flle that has all the tables and field settings required if this is the case.?
Before doing so I'd recommend you to install Mibew in a right way. (see below)
And will it even work properly...
We haven't tested Mibew on IIS and aren't planning to do so.
I've installed version 1.6.9 and the install page complains" Correct the Mistakes - File is Absent /chat/.htaccess
If Mibew complains during the installation process, you haven't installed it yet.
If you (for any reasons) don't have
.htaccess file but still want to install Mibew, just open the file
install/package and remove the first line (i.e. something like "
.htaccess 5d68e1273ca67249b104fca06f64998b"). That will prevent Mibew from checking
.htaccess.
Does the 2.0 beta have a more IIS friendly installer that will set up the tables or provide a simple .sql file dump of the tables?
What are you talking about?
At present time Mibew Messenger 2.0 is not even in the alpha state.
And no. We're not going to specially spend our time to make Mibew more IIS-friendly.
