moving from linux to windows, any foreseable problems

[tbrides]

Hi,

I'm moving my hosting from Linux to Windows - I'm moving to EuroVPS.

What should I be looking out for while moving zen cart?

I don't have any mod re-write modules installed.

What about the .htaccess files?

Why do you want to return to the stone age?

I am about to do the same thing.. how did this go for you? I already have a linux shop up. I am thinging of doing a fresh install then copying over files. Or just upload as is and see how it goes..WHat would you suggest?

If you want to load on windows ... do a fresh install on your windows server rather than a fresh install on your unix server then try to transfer that ...

Personally I'd stick with the unix server ... much better results ...

Hi,

It didn't work for me. I could not get Zen cart to work on windows. There appeared to be alot of problems with paths.

I'd stick to linux - a fast reliable linux host.

Any update when the next release of zen cart is out?

Well it was pretty easy.. did the transfer and upgrade to 1.3.7 all in one. I did a clean install on the Windows first to test. Then I copied over the the old site from the UNIX box and used good old WinMerge.

Admittedly it was probably 10 times easier due to the fact I am on a VPS so I had a lot more control. But I am sure it can be done on shared platforms too.
