Seeking optimal WordPress local development on Windows with IIS/SQL Server. What methods work best without relying on Apache/MySQL across various Windows versions?
hey, try using docker on win10 to run iis with php and sql srv. i ended up working on a container based setup instead of directly fidgeting with windows native installs. works fine tho not the smoothest ever…
hey, ive been exploring a similar setup lately. tweaking php settings under iis and installing sql srv drivers did help a bit. have u tried using containers for smoother integration? curious abt ur experiments so far!
In my experience setting up a WordPress development environment on Windows with IIS and SQL Server, I found that a manual configuration approach provided greater control over each component. I started by configuring IIS carefully to support PHP, which required fine-tuning the PHP settings for optimal performance. Integrating SQL Server demanded the installation and proper adjustment of official drivers to ensure smooth database interactions. Although this method involved extensive troubleshooting, it ultimately resulted in a stable system. Meticulous testing and iterative adjustments were essential in overcoming initial setup challenges.
hey, i realy like ur approach! have u been curious bout mixin docker with direct sql srv config instead? i think experimenting may reveal some neat advantages. what do u reckon could make it even bettr?
