Having worked through a number of issues myself (mainly around security permissions), I’m now stuck.

The errors I’m getting are:

plus a whole bunch more along the same theme.

Lower your PHP version. Version <=8.3 for SilverStripe 5.x should not throw any of these warnings.

Furthermore, they’re warnings and deprecation notices, not errors.

The only real issue in your list of notices is the warning that permission denied, which, under Windows, is a mystery. You’d probably get better/easier results using a Linux based server instead of Windows based.

Thanks. I thought Win2016 might be a long shot, but tried it anyway since I come from a Windows background.

Have reloaded the machine with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and have run into an issue.

When trying to install via Composer, it throws an error:

composer create-project silverstripe/installer rangitikeiwoodworks
Creating a “silverstripe/installer” project at “./rangitikeiwoodworks”
Installing silverstripe/installer (5.3.0)

In ProjectInstaller.php line 69:

mkdir(): Permission denied

I tried running it again using sudo, but it said that wasn’t really a good idea, so I backed out of it.

Guessing it needs permissions somewhere, but not being at all familiar with Linux, I wouldn’t know where to start.

Forgot to add, I have MySQL and PHP installed and have verified that both are running / operational.

Assuming this is just for local development and not for a production server, I can’t recommend DDEV enough. It will set up and manage docker containers for you with everything you need - there’s even a preset configuration for Silverstripe CMS so you can get started developing within minutes (after installing DDEV and its dependencies, of course).

You can run it on Windows which means you’ll be in an OS you’re familiar with most of the time. The docker containers are linux-based but you usually don’t have to interact with them at that level unless you really want to.

Have you had any luck with the windows server (Using 2019) setup?

I have a similar setup but for some reason the assets show a broken link sometimes but get fixed after reloading the page.
