    Best practice regarding ms server2008

    Hey

    What is the best way to install umbraco on MS server 2008?

    Using the http://www.iis.net/webpi platform or installing manually like with ms server 2003?

    Is there any issues using the platform installer? Performance, bugs etc?

     

    Thanks

    Personally I always install Umbraco manually, but that's out of habit as the installer is a relatively new thing.

    I have the install down to about 2/3 mins, not sure how long it takes with the platform installer.

    Really doubt Umbraco will perform any differently with a manual or web platform install.

    Guess it's just up to preference?

    I've had some problems using the platform installer fx on XP - so I'm a little unhappy using it in a production environment, but just wanted to hear what everybody else does :)

    Used WebPI several times on a Win2008 box, no problems at all.

    I usually create the website in IIS manager first (after creating a folder for the site), then create the database and assign a user for it. When that's ready I start the WebPI install from within IIS manager.

    I just do a manual install - i guess im pretty much old school rather than use a Web installer.  And Im running mine of Server 2008 as well

    I had problems in the past using the web installer on WinXP but on Windows 7 and Windows 2008 Server it seems to work perfectly every time.

    Cheers,

    Chris
