Hi All, Can we install OSQA on IIS7 on WIndows 2008 Server ? DO we need to install Django on windows ? (If yes please provide a step by step) Can you please provide a step by step ? I will post another question related to linux as I am trying to follow / understand the install file. Kind Regards |

Update: They've now made this a "one click" install Hi everyone, I thought I should point out that this might offer the solution for some of you: http://www.helicontech.com/zoo/ I've not looked at it in detail but it seems like a straight forward process; incorporating all the dependencies etc etc Thomas 1
Yes, Helicon Zoo is repository web frameworks and web apps for IIS 7. It contains Python+Django, Ruby+Rails plus dependencies processing. OSQA app added in Helicon Zoo as a example django app and it ready for production use. Screenshot: http://www.helicontech.com/zoo/images/zoo-03-webpi-apps.png

Currently it is version 0.9.0 according to Zoo gallery: http://www.helicontech.com/zoo/gallery/#osqa Seems it is latest for now.

I joined this site simply to upvote this response. Though, if it helps others most of my IIS steps failed, but they were easily accomplished using the Server Manager.

Hey there, we have people working on the documentation as we speak. But answering to your question, is possible to run osqa on any os that runs python and django which includes windows. To install python on windows, you would be better using an installer file, you can get it from http://www.python.org/download/. Pick the latest release from version 2.x, don't use 3.x. After installing python you must edit your PATH environment variable to point to the python install folder, usually something like c:\\python26, and also the scripts folder, usually under c:\\python26\\scripts . This is not a requirement but it would make the next steps easier. Then you need to download django http://www.djangoproject.com/, unpack it somewhere and then run After that, you have python and django installed. Hope it helps :-) EDIT: Just noticed the IIS part of the question. There's a great tutorial here: http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/DjangoOnWindowsWithIISAndSQLServer I tried following http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/DjangoOnWindowsWithIISAndSQLServer but in the current PyISAPIe (1.1.0) Examples/Django it says "Currently, only the WSGI version is up to date, so don't bother with pyisapie.py until it can be ported to the newest version of Django." ... and it just doesn't work for me with the given instructions (getting 500 errors when trying to access the page).

there is step-by-step instalation OSQA to Windows 2008 R2 x64 in points. I'm just testing OSQA now. I like to make this notes more detailed in future. 1
There is problem with PyISAPIe and Logon to OSQA using "login providers" (OpenID, Facebook, ...). There is 500 Error in IIS. If same site is running using Django internal server, it's runing fine, so it's not problem in configuration. We found no solution and changed IIS to Apache on Windows 2008. There is same configuration runing fine too.

I've got OSQA running fine on Windows 2008 and IIS 7.5, so long as you use MySQL rather than SQL Server

I'd be interested to see the more detailed instructions, I've found it to be very thorny and have still not managed to set this up.

It is clear that many users will want to run on Windows servers, so we will try to make a point of figuring out and documenting what is needed to succeed with OSQA in a Windows hosting environment. |

Hi all Sorry for the delay in replying : So to sum up : we would have to have Django, python and mysql installed on a windows box to go ahead and install OSQA ? ***To install python on windows, you would be better using an installer file, you can get it from http://www.python.org/download/. Pick the latest release from version 2.x, don't use 3.x. So if I have the above two and a MySQL, would that be it to run OSQA on my server ? Thanks PS : I am also willing to contribute to documenting this process as this is going to be very famous amongst small business using OSQA locally on there internal windows web servers for company Q&A. hi there, could you please look at the above comment from rukeba and see if this good to go!

http://bitnami.org/stack/osqa is another option. 1
the bitnami stack for windows does not scale. See http://meta.osqa.net/questions/4955/install-osqa-on-windows-2008-with-sql-server-2008?page=1#10555

I am also looking for instructions (or just some tips) on installing OSQA on Windows Server 2008. I think this would be a great addition to the Wiki!
