Just exploring changing my hosting - I know the specs say Linux OS for hosting but just wanted to ask whether it will run on a Windows IIS server (PHP 7.4)? Hosting company say that they currently run a number of Wordpress sites. Great if anyone could confirm please!
That’s not something we can test or confirm. We have had Backlight’s predecessors running on PHP on Windows IIS. There were issues at the time that we worked around, but Backlight’s entire lifecycle hasn’t been tested on that environment. We also can’t provide ongoing support if something breaks in the future.
I wouldn’t recommend committing to a plan on Windows IIS if you’re taking it up purely for a Backlight site.
