Re: Setting up a computer as a server

 

Hi,

Stephen has already been installing several offline instances of DHIS 2
using the installer (with java,postgres, dhis live). I guess what he is
asking here is how a server set up (accessible over Internet or a local
network)  will be different from such offline installs.

Knut, didn't you write this up somewhere?

We should expand the installation chapter in the implementation guide to
include more on this topic, e.g. specifics of a Windows server setup.
