Key points of intallment of DISCUZ.net forum in Windows Server 2008 ( En / 64bit )
1 IIS 7 - Application Pool Settings :
32bit-application must be enabled for application pool which discuz.net forum inhabits ; or else it cannot run !
Step of "enabling 32bit-application" ( in iis7 option panel )
Application Pools -> Target Pool -> Advanced Settings ( Context Menu ) ->
set "Enable 32bit-Applications" ( General group ) as "true"
2 Wield-Code of Chinese character problem:
When we install sql 2008 in the En-Os context , the default collection is not "Chinese-based". If we just create a new database it has the SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS as default. Such setting may cause trouble when the discuz installation code is running some sql-text : the Chinese literal fails to be poured into db correctly.
The solution is : when creating a new database desired to store Chinese content , its collation property must be correctly set.
