I am wondering if you can deploy Meteor apps to a Windows based Wampp stack... Such as The Uniform Server.

I am wanting to upgrade a project to Meteor that is running on a small internal network. I plan on using the existing mysql database.

I'm not quite sure on how deploying works. I know it creates a tarball, but does this just unzip into the www folder on the server? I will also have Node installed.

I'm new to this whole node.js environment. That's not an actual server that can be used for production is it? It's a bit confusing. I've only ever used wampp stacks. I can't use anything but windows, so Linux is outta the question for a server.

Thanks in advance.

WAMP stands for Windows, Apache, MySQL, and PHP.

  1. Meteor uses Node.js, not PHP.

  2. Support for other databases are coming - See the roadmap

  3. See this question

  4. NodeJS apparently works on Windows - here are the two top Google links.

tl;dr No

  • As a note, most people working with Meteor uses MongoDB as data storage and Linux for the server. "I can't use anything but windows" - You can, it doesn't necessarily have to be your machine - DigitalOcean and Linode etc lets you have a Linux server up and running for $5 a month.
