Windows 2000 Server and MySource Matrix

cout >> "Hello World!";


Does anybody know of a simple package which supports MySource Matrix for Windows (e.g. an all in one installation that will setup Apache, PHP etc). If not, can anybody provide guidance on which downloads are the closest to achieving this functionality for 3.4.0.



Yours kindly,



Eric



NB: Yes I know - MySource Matrix is best run on a UNIX based platform - this isnt my choice - we have a potential client who is expressing interest - but needs it to run on Windows.

There is some functionality of Matrix that is not supported on Windows, the most critical being HTML Tidy integration. If you run Matrix on Windows, I don't believe you can use HTML Tidy (though I'm happy to be proven wrong on that).


Also, the Squiz Server will not work on a Windows platform, as PHP does not support pcntl calls on that platform.

There's a slight chance that these binaries will work. Key word: "slight".

The problem is executing the binary on the Windows platoform and security implications of allowing the webserver to execute a binary (and obvious security implications of the placement of that binary as well). We couldn't guarantee that binary to be web-safe, i.e. well-formed malicious content submitted to the binary via the web may cause unwelcome actions.
