Mint Forum

one thing i know is that there are a lot of technical people here so i’m hoping someone can answer this newbie question.

i’ve got two clients that i wanted to switch over to mint metrics but their websites are hosted on windows 200X operating systems. most of my other clients seem to be on linux based servers.

i have two questions:

1. is hosting your website on a windows 200X system similar to running the website from your home computer? is an “amateur hour” move?

2. is there any way to get mint to work on a 200X type system?

thanks in advance.

k thanks shaun.

has anyone gotten mint to work correctly on a windows server? do you have any advice for me on how to do this? thanks.

Well personal website i use Linux (MT), which works fine for me.

For work i use IIS and develop ASP scripts… its more easier to control from administrator point of view, but Linux has more options and flexibility that i prefer.

Mint should work with no issues if you setup apache on windows and avoid IIS unless you know security for IIS.

AFAIK the only difficulty is the path.
/path/to/mint/
\path\to\mint\
\\path\\to\\mint\\
