How to install RosarioSIS on Windows

Note: Below we are going to open INI and PHP files. You may want to install Notepad++ first to get syntax highlighting for these files.

Install Bitnami WAPP stack

Note: The WAPP acronym stands for Windows, Apache web server, PHP and PostgreSQL.

Download Bitnami WAPP stack version 7.1.

Install:

1. Unmark all components except phpPgAdmin

2. Next, install under the C:\wappstack folder

3. Next, you may have to change the Apache port number to 8080. If so, you will have to append :8080 to the URL: http://127.0.0.1:8080/

4. Next, enter root as postgres password (or the password of your choice, but be sure to note it down)!

5. Once installed, launch the Bitnami WAPP stack

You can now access your local server at http://127.0.0.1/
