hi, i'm new to use moodle. i'm currently used moodle version 2.5 in iis 8 on local machine windows 8 with sql server 2012 express edition as database server.

what i wanted to know is how to install native mssql? and can we use native mssql to connect it with sql server 2012 express edition on windows 8?

i got this error while install moodle : 

Error: database driver problem detected

The site administrator should verify server configuration

PHP has not been properly configured with the MSSQL extension so that it can communicate with SQL*Server. Please check your php.ini file or recompile PHP.

what should i do? thanks

and sorry for my English.

in this article :

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7402713/how-to-get-mssql-work-with-php-5-3

i found : The MSSQL extension is not available anymore on Windows with PHP 5.3 or later. SQLSRV, an alternative driver for MS SQL is available from Microsoft: » http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/ff657782.aspx.

so if i used moodle 2.5 (it need 5.4.x php version) so i can't use mssql? is that true?

thanks

Hi Agung,

Moodle 2.5 needs at least PHP version 5.3.3, not 5.4.x. Oracle and MSSQL are (still) fully supported.

Hi Agung,

I got Moodle 2.5 to work on win7 with IIS and SQL server. Here is what I did. Maybe it can be useful to you.

Good luck!
