installing on my computer

:blink: I need to know if there is a step by step tutorial for installing on my computer running iis, php and mysql? I looked though the knowledge base and found web based servers only. I get the install page to show but when I click continue it just keeps returning to the first page of the install.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yo may not get much love for IIS. Most people here use a Linux/Unix host.

 

I assume you unzipped the package to a subdir or wwwroot? I never really used the setup for IIS, I just copy the files, change the configure.php pages, and run the SQL script in mysql admin or the like.

 

If you are on IIS6 (w2k3), then you need to enable PHP within the IIS mmc.

 

Don't forget to change c:\WINDOWS\php.ini register_globals = on.

 

When you get stuck at trying to remove the error "I can write to the confiure.php file..blah-blah" (you will know what I mean whe ou get there), eliminate this by going thru My Computer, and bringing up properties on catalog/includes/configure.php and in the General under Attributes, check the box "Read Only".

 

Good Luck,

V6 :thumbsup:

Ok, I did all that you spoke of besides for running the SQL script. What script are you refering to? Is there documentation on this? :'(

it's the sql script that sets up the db, its in the install file, it shouldn't be hard to find, I think it is the only file in there named *.sql
