Question

I'm installing FogBugz and Kiln on my Windows server. What are the requirements (operating system version, RAM, disk, CPU, etc)?

Answer 1

The FogBugz system requirements haven't really changed much with FogBugz 8. Obviously, the newer the system and more resources the better, but for a typical installation the following (from the page linked above) is pertinent:

Most modern Intel servers will be fine for most teams. We recommend 2 GB of memory for optimal performance.

Do not run FogBugz on a server which is also running large enterprise applications such as Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Sharepoint.

Additionally, you cannot run FogBugz on a server which is also a Domain Controller in Windows Server 2008 (any rev/edition). We're aware of the problem and have a case filed to resolve it.

As called out in the question, you'll also want to look at Kiln's system requirements, which are a little more restrictive. The disk space used by Kiln will be very much dependent on how much space your source repositories take up.
