Hello. A PHP developers view on windows installation: it's screwed as hell right now. I use apache + php for my developing envoirment on Windows 7. Guys - I spend 1.5, freaking 1.5 hours setting up apache + php!!! essentially i just had to download and try multiple binaries for windows to find the right one. The first time I did that it was two evenings. Now i know that i need a VC9 threaded version and i haveto go to the Perries page to get extensions. Sometimes you have to fish the google to find some extenension that works and not fails to load. To my liking the situation is ridicilous. The manual has to be updated and windows support should be restored to full strength as it was. Many developers work on windows because many of us do not have the time or will to dive into linux and fine toon it and spend weeks finding software that is adiquite. And mostly windows based software is usually winning in features and quality, and most importantly - usability. Tried, but had to return to windows.
Maybe you just don't get that kind of feedback becase internals list isn't what usually people read. Set up an official forums and people will start to post. 06.06.2011 20:51 пользователь "Stas Malyshev" <smalys...@sugarcrm.com> написал: > Hi! > >> Media Temple's Grid servers still default to PHP 4.4.9.
