Dec 12, 2012  Yesterday I decided to install WordPress for my new blog, both because it seemed like good product for the job and also to get some experience in running it (and thus also PHP) on Windows Server 2012 with IIS 8. We have already demonstrated how to install WordPress on Windows Server 2008Screencast: How to install WordPress on Windows Server 2008.This used to be a complex process and required a lot of efforts. Choosing the correct components and their configuration was a challenge. Mar 14, 2019  First download and run the Microsoft Web Platform Installer wpilauncher.exe file.Second select Applications link at the top. Third select wordpress by clicking ‘Add’ next to it. Now click the ‘Install’ button at the bottom of the page. I have been trying for hours now to install WP with MySQL 8 on Windows Server 2012. If I use the “Web Platform Installer 5.0”, that wants to download MySQL 5.1, which seems to fail during the install. I am able to install MySQL 8 manually, but then there doesn’t seem to be a way (documented, that I can find) to get WordPress to work with it. Installing WordPress on Windows Server 2012 R2 also requires PHP and MySQL. Now thanks to Web PI installing WordPress, PHP, and MySQl has never been easier. Your site will be up and running in mere minutes. After installation take some extra time to secure the login page and prevent comment spam.

  • I have been trying for hours now to install WP with MySQL 8 on Windows Server 2012.

    If I use the “Web Platform Installer 5.0”, that wants to download MySQL 5.1, which seems to fail during the install.

    I am able to install MySQL 8 manually, but then there doesn’t seem to be a way (documented, that I can find) to get WordPress to work with it.

    I’m a Mac guy so IIS is super foreign to me.

    Is it possible to get WP to work with MySQL 8 and, if so, is there a documentation link that describes how to make that happen?

    Free zawgyi font download. Unfortunately, MS’ Web Platform Installer 5.0 only seems to know about MySQL 5.1 for this install…

    Thanks much in advance,

  • Hi Morkus,

    May I know first what’s your purpose? Are you trying to install WordPress on Windows Server 2012 because later you want to deploy it online, or is that you just want to install in a local environment (localhost).

    Thanks

    Use the Web Platform Installer to install the “Recommended Server Configuration for Web Hosting Providers”

    You might get an error about not being able to install PHP Manager for IIS, that’s not a problem. Office 2016 pro plus key generator.

    Mac yosemite dmg. After it’s complete run the WPI again and filter on PHP, from there you can pick the latest version of PHP to upgrade to it.

    Download and run the mySQL MSI installer for Windows, but use the link for “Looking for previous GP versions?” to get the 5.7.22 (or the latest pre-8 version).

    This should leave you with a server ready for running WP. I think the WP instructions cover things from there.

    From what I’ve seen WP isn’t ready for mySQL 8 without some effort, hence my reply.
