How to install Kanboard on Windows Server?

Windows 2008/2012 with IIS

PHP installation

• Install IIS on your server (Add a new role and don't forget to enable CGI/FastCGI)
• Install PHP by following the official documentation:
  • Microsoft IIS 5.1 and IIS 6.0
  • Microsoft IIS 7.0 and later
  • PHP for Windows is available here

After the installation check if PHP runs correctly:

Go the IIS document root C:\inetpub\wwwroot and create a file phpinfo.php:

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

Open a browser at http://localhost/phpinfo.php and you should see the current PHP settings. If you got an error 500, something is not correctly done in your installation.

Notes:

• If you use PHP < 5.4, you have to enable the short tags in your php.ini
• Don't forget to enable the required php extensions: pdo_sqlite and mbstring
• If you got an error about "the library MSVCP110.dll is missing", you probably need to download the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio from the Microsoft website.

Kanboard installation

• Download the zip file
• Uncompress the archive in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\kanboard by example
• Make sure the directory data is writable by the IIS user
• You are done, open your web browser to use Kanboard
