Hi All,
I host my site with hostforlife.eu now. I sign up for their windows shared hosting plan. I just wonder can I install mybb on their hosting environment? If anyone ever experience installing mybb on windows server, please advise me steps to install it on windows server environment.
Thank you
If possible, avoid using a Windows server with MyBB. At least IIS, I should say. IIS tends to cause little problems with MyBB if you don't know really well what you're doing, and we don't intend to fix the issues that IIS causes.
This is a question that you should ask your hosting company.
I run mybbs on Window IIS server . . .no problem.
I also run WordPress and I've run Simple Machines Forum and other php software - because the hosting company has a properly configured server.
And I never have any "little problems" with MyBB.
Again, it is your hosting company that should have their server configured to run php.
And "yes" you can run MyBB on Windows IIS
It's too bad that MyBB doesn't have a dedicated forum for IIS users. . .
Its nice to have the best of both worlds.

why don't you use regular linux web hosting .. anyway, this external guidance can be of some help
MyBB required permissions => http://docs.mybb.com/1.8/install/#file-permissions
Yeappp.... It is working fine on hostforlife.eu hosting environment. Thank you for your link. I asked them to install it for me.
