Is Mantis compatible with Vista?

On client side MantisBT needs a webbrowser to run. Working with IE6, IE7 and IE8 is possible, so that there should be no problems running on Windows Vista.

On server side you need a webserver (Apache, IIS, ...), support for PHP (at least version 5.2.x) and a database (mySQL (preferred), MSSQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle)
This is also all available for Windows Vista and should work. I don't have own experience for this in production environment, sometimes I use it for testing purposes.

i have run mantis server on both vista, windows 7, windows2008 with no problems on ie 6, 7,8 chrome, opera and firefox with no issues.

i used the Web Platform Installer from MS. you can get it from here by clicking the get php button. http://php.iis.net/

One question. I'm not clear. You can use Mantis in Windows Vista with Google Chrome?

Yes, you can

Do you mean running as a user, or running mantis on your server (running Vista). If you mean on your personal computer, then yes Mantis should run just fine.

Oh I see... Google Chrome is compatible but I am still comfortable with firefox.

Is it compatible with Opera also.?

Yes

This was very helpful. Thanks for the post.

I had problems running Chrome on vista. Several form fields refused to work properly and popup calendars would always pop off to the left of the page. Very odd. It's fine on W7 though.

Hello,

I have also Mantis run in both vista, windows 7 with Chrome, IE, and no problems!!!
