A user reached out to us with an issue they faced while installing osCommerce on a Windows Apache server using XAMPP. They had followed the installation guide provided on our forums but encountered a warning stating, "It seems like you are using Apache under Windows as Webserver. osCommerce will only work under Linux." The user was utilizing XAMPP version 8.2.12, downloaded from SourceForge, and wanted to know if there was a way to resolve this issue. |

Our Response: We informed the user that the message they received was a warning to highlight the limitations of running osCommerce on Windows. While the software can be installed on a Windows environment, users need to be aware that some functions might be compromised or behave unpredictably. osCommerce is primarily designed and tested for stable performance on Linux environments. While running osCommerce on Windows with XAMPP is possible, it's not the recommended setup due to potential functionality issues. We advised that if the user understands and accepts these limitations, they could proceed with the installation by clicking the "Proceed" button. |
