Planettel provides an OpenVZ template for FA with default India, Singapore and Malaysia Chart of Accounts besides the standard US ones, along with 10 pre-created databases for 10 FA companies. They also provide cloud hosted service and client site hosted instances besides support. Migration from other versions of FA and other accounting systems are also undertaken by them. They sponsor my developmental work on FA for the cloud.
That should be on reference, apmuthu. I wonder what accountant with so much work could be taking the trouble of FA on his own, especially if he is coming from a country where IT staff are scarce.
By the way, can i ask a question: where can one find chart of accounts to download for FA? I need templates for Nigeria or UK accounting. thanks

Thanks tm. I now have it installed, x86. phpinfo.php was displayed brilliantly.
What Next, Please? I have the Mysql server instance running, tried opening the install.php and other files in the frontaccounting extracted zip folder. I copied the folder contents on a folder under c:\inetpub\wwwroot with folder name "account." The php files in the folder did nothing.
found this: https://frontaccounting.com/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=1003
index, install and other php files only gives gibberish code on browser
Suggestions will be highly appreciated.

What happens if you open a command prompt, change directory to that of the phpinfo.php file and type the command "C:\php\php-cgi.exe phpinfo.php"?
I received this report: The program couldn't start because MSVCR110.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem.

Re: [SOLVED]How do I start using FrontAccounting? (8 replies, posted in Installation)
Feedback: I finally found PHP Manager for IIS: https://phpmanager.codeplex.com/releases/view/69115. After tweaking some settings, I tried phpinfo() but the report was negative.
I then tried: http://localhost/phpinfo.php and got this error report:
Error Summary
HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error
C:\php\php-cgi.exe - The FastCGI process exited unexpectedly
contents of phpinfo.php file=>
<?php phpinfo() ?>
thanks. what do I need to do?

Topic: [SOLVED]How do I start using FrontAccounting? (8 replies, posted in Installation)
i can see that all the files in the frontaccounting directory are php.
I have followed through with the installatin guide.
Pre-requisites
A working HTTP web server. IIS 7.
PHP installed on the web server. [configured php.ini and other tasks]
A working MySQL server - with innodb tables enabled (see notes below)
Adobe Acrobat Reader - or another PDF reader for viewing the PDF reports before printing them out.
I have also followed through with the instructions on the page. It's been hours work! Now, what else do I need to do to get FrontAccounting up and running?
Windows 7, IIS 7, 64 bit.
I reallly don't understand what it means to
Install FrontAccounting.
At least I should not be ashamed of my ignorance. everyone starts from somewhere.
First, after scrupulously following through with the php configuration instructions (I carried out the manual installation since I use IIS and downloaded php with non-thread safe option), how do you verify that the configuration was okay?
That's for starters!

And you could easily move the whole virtual machine to another host if you wanted to. Not to mention how much fun it will be. And how much you will learn. If you don't believe me, just go with XAMPP.
Hah! i don't have the time to learn anything new. I just want an accounting/erp software. time really is not on my side. I hope you do understand. i will stick with IIS. I just want an accounting software that will suite my needs.

Hi nnaemeka,
Hopefully the installation would be straight forward enough.
Can you tell the forum please which operating system you will be using for your proposed FA installation, and maybe we can give you some more specific information
Xero
Windows 7, IIS 7.

Topic: Accountant: how easy is it for me to install FA (9 replies, posted in Installation)
Please, how easy will it be for me to install FA? I am an accountant and scared that if I do not know php (I have read the installation instructions), I might fall into trouble installing FA.
can anyone help? can I find an all-in-one installer as others have?
thanks
