Hi,
I have been trying to get moodle working for 2 days now with no success!
I have tried on win 2003 and I am trying on a spare win XP Pro station at the moment.
I have IIs 5.1 installed
Mysql installed
PHP 5 installed

I have created a database in Mysql.

When I run install.php I go through the options until I get to the configure database page.
I have filled that as as follows...
type - mysql
host server - localhost
database - moodle
user - moodleuser
password - password
table prefix - mdl_

When i then click next I get a blank page.
It's very frustrating!!

ANyone any ideas.

Thanks

Reg

Did you enable mysql extension in php.ini and configured environment PATH variable (for isapi only)?

No!

How do I enable extension for php.ini?

Thanks

Also, do you have created a mysql user with access grant to the database you created?. Just a check.

Similar to problem I experienced early on - see my post on IIS 6  . . .

I think you will find that if you turn error reporting on in the php.ini, (uncomment the line for error reporting) that you are still having problems with the php_mysql.dll file, and requests for moodle return the line

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\moodle\lib\adodb\drivers\adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 337

So there is a problem we are both experiencing relate to enabling the php_mysql connector.

Unfortunately, there is no current documentation for IIS and Moodle.

I will work on this - post replies if you come up with a solution.
