Installing Discourse on Windows

The discussion revolves around installing Discourse on Windows. mitra initially encountered issues with Docker and was advised by Qasem_h to use VirtualBox or consider installing Discourse on Ubuntu or Mac for development. Qasem_h provided links to guides for Ubuntu and Mac installations.

mitra then installed Vagrant and VirtualBox but encountered issues with downloading GitHub. Qasem_h provided step-by-step instructions for installing Discourse using Vagrant and Git.

Mittineague noted that the port number for accessing Discourse might be 4000 instead of 3000. mitra encountered a Git error, which Qasem_h addressed by providing links to Git setup guides.

After successfully installing Discourse, mitra encountered an error page when accessing the admin section. Qasem_h advised creating an admin account, which mitra struggled with. Qasem_h provided instructions for creating an admin account using the rake admin:create command.

superslowwindows encountered an issue with vagrant up not doing anything, and Falco suggested following the official guide for installing Discourse on Windows 10. Falco also recommended running a virtual machine with Ubuntu for users without Windows 10.

whats your error ?

this is installion information :
after install VM and vagrant
git discourse clone
cd your cloned discourse location
and type : vagrant up (Its takes some time)

vagrant ssh
bundle install
bundle exec rake db:migrate
bundle exec rails server
and open http://localhost:3000 in your browser

I think i should spend some more time with this.
But your help is really appreciated. Thanks.

For me it’s localhost:4000 i.e port 4000 not port 3000
* I have not been able to run in production mode due to Windows security interfering with “shared folders”
