Need WIMP Expert

  • Ok I started this many months back and ended without a resolution. I ended up going to a paid hosted server and hosted WordPress there with there fantastico system. Works great. Now I’m back. I want to give it another shot. I wantt to install WordPress on my own server. It seems I always get stuck with the MySQL and PHP installation. I have followed instruction from two different sites and it seems I always run into problems again.

    I’m going the swoofware direction and have even downloaded he older versions to see if I could get it to work and nothing. Can someone really help or send me to a more thourough documentaion of WIMP (Windows Server 2003, IIS 6.0, MySQL (version?) and PHP (version?). Thank you.

    I’m far from a WIMP expect, but I am using the most recent versions of WIMP and just got it working. I had a couple of things that I had to do to get it to work.

    Make sure that you give the IUSR user permission to the PHP directory. That is where I got stuck.

    Also, you need to open up wp-settings.php in a text editor, and remove the following lines:

    > if ( !extension_loaded(‘mysql’) && !file_exists(ABSPATH . ‘wp-content/db.php’) )
    > die( ‘Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is
    > required for WordPress.’ );

    Finally, you need to open up your PHP.ini file and uncomment the line that says: extension=php_mysql.dll
