Next question - can I install this on our (CC3) server without killing other key things, or should I leave it on another computer somewhere?

This is really killing me now - I knock one problem down only to find another.

 

I've given up on WAMP as it doesn't seem to like Wordpress MU; Wordpress MU runs beautifully in XAMPP but it needs to send emails out to new users and these aren't working. So, I'm taking a step or two back and wondering what blogging software I can run on our existing IIS web server. Any recommendations?

 

Oh, and by the way - I need a working site by 11am on Wednesday!!

Wordpress should work on IIS afaik.

 

Seems to be a few guides here: wordpress mu on iis - Google Search

The problem with Wordpress is that it needs PHP, MySQL and so on, and I don't really want to go installing all that sort of stuff on our (only) server.

Um, i thought IIS was designed so it wouldn't install on the PDC. Why not setup a spare box (even if its not a proper server) with a server os and join it to the domain and install it on there. Especially if you have some talented students who decide to "play" with your webserver.

IIS is definitely installed on the FRDC, as our intranet uses it, as does the RM Management Console. I thought about adding a member server, although don't have time to do that for this particular project.

 

I may set them up with an online blogging thing (blogger, or similar) and then take my time over getting a web server set up and running.
