I currently have a website running on Windows Server 2008 with MS SQL Server 2008 Web Edition.
I want to host a blog, tightly coupled to the site, and after reading a good few articles, decided that I would like to install WP in a folder off the website root, accessible like this?
http://www.mysite.com/blog
I’ve just upgraded to Web Platform 4.6, and this has returned a few different options with regard to installation. Here’s what I have:
- Standard WordPress installation
- Brandoo WordPress
- WebMatrix3
WordPress itself is not familiar (apart from using it of course), and wondered if anyone could shed any light on these options.
Brandoo WordPress uses MS SQL or Azure SQL by default. If You want to install WordPress winth thos DB’s, use Brandoo WordPress.
Read here and here. Since this is essentially a fork of WordPress, security updates and whatnot may be delayed. To use the official WordPress code, you’ll have to install MySQL.
