License Query and Support For NT4?

[res]

Hi,

I am considering purchasing vBulletin but would like to check when you need to assign the domain to the license it will be used on?

When I purchase, it will be installed on my test (non-production, internal) server first so I can learn how to use etc. I will then make it live on a yet undecided domain name (we are still thinking of one).

Is this possible or do you have to assign the domain before you can download?

As I only seem to have access to the Pre Sales forum (is this correct?) can anyone post to say they have vBulletin working on a Windows NT4 system? Which version of Win32 MySQL and PHP is recommended for this set-up?

I have tried PHP/MySQL systems in the past and they only seem to work in Linux environments due to file path \ and / confusion etc?

Thanks,

Paul.

wee as far a this question goes yes you have to put your domain in that it is going on depending if you have one or not, however you can change it every day if needs be. so thats not really a problem.

and if you dont have one yet just leave it blank till you do it doesnt affect the download..

I'm pretty sure the domain is required or it is against Jelsoft's policy :confused: Anyway, we'd better wait for a staff member to reply to this. ;)

You will need to assign an URL or IP address before the system permits you to download any software. You can change this later when your live forums are deployed.

Both PHP and MySQL come with Binary installers for Windows-based OSes. You will have to check their sites to see if they provide specific support for NT 4.0 or there are specific issues related to deploying those applications on NT 4.0...

Thanks for help. I have PHP and MySQL installed on NT4 both seem to be working fine, I was checking if anyone was running vBulletin on this platform?

The software has been successfully installed on several different flavours of UNIX (including Solaris, and Redhat Linux), as well as Windows NT/2000/XP.

I have quoted what it says on the requirements page above, is this true of the latest v2 and v3 BETA release?

Thanks

Paul.

the staff develop on a mixture of windows and linux systems though all use Apache as far as I'm aware.

There has definately been others using Windows with Apache and IIS.
