Topic: Local Server Requirements
Hello,
I need to install FA in a local network powered by Windows with more than 100 Users.
What should be configuration of Local Server to host FA with this number of users.
Any Ideas?
It's much more fun, when you can discuss your problems with others...

If you are using XAMPP, then only a 32 bit version is available so more than 3.2 GB RAM is meaningless.
You can however, use VMWare Player to run 64 bit Debian/Ubuntu/CentOS, etc., inside Windows, whilst all your end users can be on Windows browsers.
100 Users or 100 concurrently using clients?
They can be normal hardware with 16 GB Win2012R2 running IIS if you need to run FA on the host itself.
I need 100 users on 100 work stations concurrently accessing FA installed on the server in LAN
PHP and Apache don't have official supported 64 bit Windows builds.
Only MySQL out of the three does, hence no 64 bit bundle for XAMPP on Windows.
However, the current versions of PHP seem to have some 64 bit builds at https://windows.php.net/.
Processors, manufactured after 2011, most likely support AVX and it's PHP builds. The exact information about the hardware can be retrieved by using the Coreinfo tool.
Current Apache for Windows 64 bit are available at Apache Lounge.
In spite of all the above, give the 32 bit version of XAMPP a try on Win 10 with the specs in my previous post and provide benchmarks on actual concurrent usage and load factors in your network.
If its any help Wampserver has a 64 bit version. Though you do have to install both 32 and 64 bit versions.
Yes, It sports the following in WAMP 3.0.6:
Apache 2.4.27
PHP 5.6.31, 7.0.23, 7.1.9
MySQL 5.7.19
MariaDB 10.2.8
PhpMyAdmin 4.7.4
Adminer 4.3.1
PhpSysInfo 3.2.7
Wampserver 2.5 onwards are not compatible with
Windows XP, not even with SP3
Windows Server 2003
and they also require a disk formatted as an NTFS partition, and does not support FAT32 or exFAT.
Caveats:
If you install Wampserver over an existing version, not only it will not work, but you risk losing your existing databases. Also install it in a root folder like C:\wamp or d:\wamp . Close Skype or force not to use port 80 before installation and while WAMP is in use.
WAMP 3.1.4 was released on 2018-09-25.
You might require a server with 8gm ram, and 512gb SSD and Intel Xeon E3 Processor or more than that.
Basically you need server like Dell flagship or ibm series to handle 100 concurrent users
Thanks all for your input. I will post my feedback once done
