My ISP said to check with you to see if webwiz forums will work with a linyx system that accepts .asp scripts. I guess my question is: Does webwiz only work on a windows format? I keep telling them that webwiz claims that they do not work on linyx. They said on a normal system that might be true but to ask if webwiz will work with a system that has been modified to accept .asp scripts.

Please explain this to me so that I can either use this ISP or change to a windows based system.

My entire database is from the old webwiz 7 series. I have updated the database to 8.5a

Is it possible to change it to mySQL now or is it still next to impossible.

I know that somewhere here on the forum someone claims to have done it but I have an entire webdesign company working on it and they say it can't be done. Sorry for the long winded question but I don't really know how to ask the question.

Please help as my options are becoming limited with mySQL or a windows server!

Thanks in advance for your prompt reply

Web Wiz Forums will only work on a Windows IIS web server.

Linux servers only have support for ASP from third party software which does not fully support the more advanced features of ASP that are required for Web Wiz Forums to run.
