How to install P202 on a W8 VPS?

I've never installed Prosper on a W8 system, so I'm afraid I can't help you too much.... Other than to say that it basically works the same as a Wordpress install.

If you're going to be using the W8 interface, it would be a good idea to learn the system. It's a much bigger learning curve that cPanel, so there's a reason why your hosting is cheaper.

Hopefully someone with more experience in W8 can offer some advice.

Don't cheap out on your hosting. You will lose traffic and clicks and money. Go for Beyondhosting.net.

I've never used xhampp, does it allow you to create a database?

What's your OS? is it Linux based OS? You don't need cPanel or any other control panel in your VPS to install Prosper202. But make sure your OS is Linux based. I would suggest Ubuntu.

If it helps, there's a gig on fiverr to do it,

You title here says you want to install on a "W8 VPS" If you are referring to a Windows server, then it will never work.

To run Prosper202 your host just needs a couple of things:
Minimum Requirements, Less than 5,000 clicks a day
PHP version 5.0 or greater
MySQL version 4.0 or greater
High Volume Users, More than 5,000 clicks a day
PHP version 5.0 or greater
MySQL version 5.1 or greater
Please Note: Prosper202 will not run on a windows server.

That's really it. however Apache or Litespeed as the most robust and featureful server for running Prosper202, but any server that supports PHP and MySQL will do. That said, we can't test every possible environment and each of the hosts on our hosting page supports the above and more with no problems.

For super affiliates, and high volume PPC traffic pushers, we recommend you have a dedicated server for our software. Have your host install MySQL 5.1 and memcache to take advantage of the highest performance configuration you can give towards Prosper202. When your sending Prosper202 thousands of clicks a day you want to make sure your on dedicated. You may want to contact us first if you do heavy volume and would like to use Prosper202, this will be to make sure everything is setup properly for you.
