Has ANYONE got OSC to work on IIS6????

[spannerman]

Hi folks,

 

I've been at this for 4 days now and any help much appreciated.

 

I've been through the forum a million times - applied many fixes and reccomendations with different errors happening every time.

 

The Score : Had a fully working OSC store on a webhost for 3 years now, applied many mods, all working. The issue arises that one of the mods (which happens to be essential to the store) generates about 6000 queries on the mySQL every time someone loads a product info page, so on Monday my webhost disables the db.

 

I was going to move it to a dedicated box but this forced my hand. I now have a dedicated box in a datacentre in London which has Windows 2003 Server installed. I installed IIS, PHP and mySQL and have been working through config changes to get the transplanted site to work, with no success.

 

I've had error after error - the latest one being the site not finding the english include page - hardcoded it but still nothing.

 

Upshot of the deal is that I've probably made that many changes I'll never get it working.

 

Anybody got it working so I can compare IIS 6.0 setup & permissions etc, PHP settings, mySQL settings et al?

 

Have I missed installing anything else that I need? Should I put Apache on the 2k3 box and bin IIS 6?

 

Should I ask my box provider to format the thing and install Linux (considering I know next to nowt about Linux, having done all prior admin via ex-host's control panels etc)?

 

HELP!

 

TIA
