george469 Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 I am running Windows Server 2003, IIS 6.0, MySQL 5 and PHP 5. When I type the path in the instructions, http://localhost/catalog/install I get a 403 - Forbidden "The website has declined to show this page" error. If I type http://localhost/catalog/install/install.php I get the page where you put in the database information. I type in the required information; Database Server: localhost User Name: merchant (this userid has permissions to all databases in the MySQL instance) Password: mypassword Database Name: ecommerce (that is the name of the empty catalog I created) ** I installed PHP using the windows installer package. I'm pretty sure PHP is working correctly because I got a 404 not found error when I tried to access install.php before installing PHP and it came up fine after PHP was installed. I am also pretty sure MySQL is also working correctly because I have no problem getting to the database using the MySQL admin client. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
george469 Posted May 10, 2008 Author Posted May 10, 2008 I don't necesssarily mean it locks up the maching. When you click continue on that database setup screen, The box with the little wheel in it says "testing database connection" and it just sits there until you hit cancel.
