Is Bugzilla on Windows/IIS a Bad Idea?

[Thomas, Steve]

Hey folks,

 

After some hacking, I have managed to get Bugzilla completely working on
a Windows/IIS instance (with ActivePerl, etc. etc.).

 

Mail, of course, doesn't work, even though I have the new build that is
supposed to make it so you don't have to do anything on Windows to make
it work (like you did before, wherein you had to hack code to make it
work).

 

I spent some amount of time hacking through the Mail:Mailing stuff and
so on, and discovered that, as near as I can tell, its not even close to
working. My initial take is that it will require a LOT more hacking to
make mail work on Windows, so the "fix" from before actually made the
situation much worse. (Note that this is my *initial take* -- I hope
that I'm completely wrong and there's an easy fix, but I didn't see one
anywhere).

 

My overall question is this: should I just give up trying to make
Bugzilla work on Windows, and is it a lost cause? Is there any
significant installed base that is on Windows?

 

Thanks again for your help,

 

 

Steve Thomas
