IIS installation and blank page problems

[beernutz]

I know from reading the support forum for the last 3 hours that using IIS6 (on Windows 2003 Server) with oscommerce is not ideal but that it can be done. My problem is that although I seem to be able to get all the way through the installation script without a problem and I have set the Users group to have full control over the files and directories listed in the installation instructions, when I try to access index.php under either /catalog or /catalog/admin I get a blank page. I will post my two configure.php files (without the database information) in hopes that someone can spot what is wrong or point me in the direction of a solution.

FWIW, I am running php version 4.3.11 with register_globals = On and Mysql 3.23.59-nt .

Any help is much appreciated.

You define the full path here as being:

 

'C:\InetPub\IP69\catalog\');

 

and here you define it as being:

 

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', 'C:/InetPub/IP69/catalog');

 

Don't know if forward or backward slash is correct for IIS, but it has to be one or the other and not both (I'm guessing).
