WHMCS Windows 64-bit

[thomasschmidt93]

Hello WHMCS and its community,

 

I did some research and found that the required IonCube Loader does not exist in 64-bit for Windows. This tells me that WHMCS will not work with 64-bit Apache and 64-bit PHP, is that correct?

 

And as I can see, IonCube Loader only exist for PHP 5.4, not the latest 5.5?

 

Can I run WHMCS without IonCube Loader, or is that not recommended? Perhaps an alternative?

 

Best regards,

Thomas

That's right, you'll need to be using 32-bit PHP and a max version of 5.4.x. Neither ionCube or WHMCS support the current latest stable version of PHP (5.5.3 now) for some reason

Hello Malfunction,

 

Thank you very much for your answer.

 

Is there any way, that I can use Apache 64-bit with PHP 5.4.x 32-bit and IonCube 32-bit?

Why not use IIS?

Can you please enlighten me?

 

I've never used IIS for anything serious, but a random site sometimes on my personal PC. Why would you recommend IIS over Apache?

Hello,

 

I run WHMCS on Windows 2008 R2 64 Bit. I also use IIS with no problems what so ever. And run it along side other PHP and asp.net sites...
