Hello,

On the following page it is indicated MantisBT runs on Windows, MacOS, OS/2, Linux, Solaris, the BSDs, and just about anything that supports the required server software.
https://www.mantisbt.org/docs/master/en ... quirements

Is it possible to use Windows Server 2016 or Windows Server 2012 R2?

Regards,

Check section "2.2.2.1. Versions compatibility table" to get your answer.
So yes, it should be possible.

But keep in mind that none of the current Mantis core developers uses this environment, so you might not get the best support in case of trouble.

I saw the version compatibility table.
It indicates RDBMS, PHP or Web Server, but not the operating system.

Does the software have no operating system recommendation, but only dependencies?
These dependencies, which have OS specifications

There is a comment for the web server in the table
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 or later

Right, this is what the follwing sentence means
and just about anything that supports the required server software.
e.g. if you want, you can run your web server on Windows and your MySQL database server on Linux.

Thank you for that clarification.
The mention "Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 or later" in the comment section seems to be indicated for the use of IIS, but it is also possible to use Apache on Windows and in this case there is no indication.
I will respect the dependencies recommendations and follow the OS recommendations of each dependencies.

Thank you atrol for your quick support.
