Install instructions Joomla 1.0.7, W2k3 SP1, IIS6, PHP 5, MySQL 4.1

[Inity]

Hi All,

A friend asked me for help installing Joomla 1.0.7 on Windows 2003 and IIS6. I documented everything and made a pdf file which is available here: http://test.westerlow.nl/joomla_iis6.pdf
This is for users who run there own Windows 2003 server
It's still a bit messy but comments and suggestions are of course welcome as I'm not an Joomla expert

Thanks

Inity

I followed your instructions. Even used the same DIRs after 2 install tries. The only difference is that I'm using MySQL 5. When I get to STEP2, the page stays blank.

Any idea what could cause that?

Thanks,

Nice Instructions! But I have only got as far as cjobes and my page never loads.
I have also put a script called info.pho in my root directory. It worked after I initially installed PHP but now does the same as Joomla install page, just sits there:-(

Hi, in the case of cjobes he I replied to him via e-mail. The thing he needed to do was rename the following files

includes\database.php => includes\database.mysqli.php
includes\database.mysql.php => incudes\database.php

In his php.ini only extension=php_mysql.dll was uncommented. Something tells me that in your case something else is wrong. I would suggest you start over and make sure you don't miss anything in my instructions. If it still doesn't work let me know

Thanks, I finally did get it to work, and it required as you said to rename the following files

includes\database.php => includes\database.mysqli.php
includes\database.mysql.php => incudes\database.php

I also dropped back to an earlier version of MyPHP and MySql

After about 12 hours of working on it, I went to bed and got a fresh start next day. I googled and went many places, but finally found my answers here...  http://moleski.net/dokuwiki/doku.php/bl ... la_problem
