   I followed all your tutorials step by step, and everything worked smoothly!. I got the wp blog running without any problems!… thanks for the great tutorials.

   I agree with Miguel, I followed the steps in all three tutorials and the installation was seamless. Thank you so much for contributing these steps to the community!

   Paul,

   First off, I must say you’ve done a fantastic job with this site. I’ve used your guides three times now (the first two with no difficulties at all) to setup a webserver. Unfortunately, on my latest attempt, I’ve hit an odd snag that I can’t seem to fix. I successfully completed parts one and two (setting up PHP and MySQL) and the bulk of part three (this article). I have run through the install script of Wordpress and I can get to the admin console, however when I attempt to view my site, I get an HTTP 500 error. I was wondering if you’d be able to perhaps help me troubleshoot this some. Below are some links that may help:

   My PHP Info file:
   https://earnhardt.homeserver.com/website/index2.php

   My Wordpress admin login page: (email me for the password if you think it may help. There’s nothing on this server that is of any importance at the moment so I can send it to you.)
   http://earnhardt.homeserver.com/website/wp-admin/

   And the broken main page:
   http://earnhardt.homeserver.com/website/

   Any insight you could give me would really help.

   Thanks and keep up the great site!
   Dustin

   Hi Dustin,

   Thanks for your kind comments - I appreciate it. Now, if you could enable full logging on your IIS web site and then post the relevant log file extract showing the 500 error I might be able to help you out.

   Paul,

   Thanks for the reply but I’ve taken the novice approach to fixing the problem: Reformat and try again.

   Sure enough though, it worked.

   I should mention though two significant differences between your guide and my setup, so that hopefully they will help someone else. First, I’m using Whiist (Windows Home IIS Toolkit) installed on Windows Home Server. All in all, this isn’t a big deal, but one thing worth noting is that Windows Home Server comes with pre-installed with websites to be shared on homeserver.com. That being said, I did not perform the step where you flushed all the application extensions for testing PHP. Instead, I used the GUI to add the .php extension to my site.

   There are two specific things worth noting here about the method I chose to use. First, to add PHP globally to all sites on the server, right click on the “Web Sites” folder (directly under the local computer) and go to properties. Then add the .php extension to the application extensions. The second thing is that you will get a warning message regarding “ScriptMaps” and that certain pre-existing child nodes already define the “ScriptMap” category. If you choose the “Select All” option and redefine the ScriptMap for all the child nodes, you will enable PHP on all the sites, and not just one. (Ultimately, I think this is what really helped me.)

   Anyway, I’m sure what I did makes more sense to you than it did to me when I did it, but hopefully this will help some other readers.

   Thanks again for the excellent walkthroughs!

   Take care,
   Dustin

   When I type that in I get. “ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ”word

   The only difference that I can between yours and mine is that I am using 5.0.45 of mysql and yours is 5.0.26

   I have tried copying and pasting several times and typed it in manually a few times and always get the same result. Here is a screencap of the error.

   Richard,

   I too was having the same problem! After a fair bit of cross-referencing it looks like the syntax error was due to the wrong colans being used. Talk about picky!
   Anywho, the correct line is thus:

   GRANT SELECT , INSERT , UPDATE , DELETE , CREATE , DROP , ALTER ON `wordpress` . * TO `wordpress`@`localhost`;

   You can manually type it up. Just make sure you use the ` colan (Located on the tilde key (the key next to the 1 and below the ESC buttons)).

   Hi there, great tutorial btw. My only question is how can I get it working when my iis is on the C drive and the network guys say that websites need to be on the E drive? I get the “No input file specified.” error when I try to do this.

   PHP is installed on C.
   Mysql is installed on C.

   Thanks in advance.

    Hi

    I have followed your steps to install PHP, MYSQL and Wordpress 2.3.2 on IIS on Win 2003, but in the wordpress admin it takes an age to load the pages.

    I.E.

    If I click on ‘write’ it takes around 30-40 seconds for this page to load.

    Is there anything I can do to speed this up ? and what could be causing this ?

22. 22 On October 29th, 2008, Dan said:

    Awesome tut! One question, have you noticed that you can’t update any of the theme files through the webui theme editor? In IIS 7 I was getting an error (can’t remember what it was now), and in IIS 6 it acts like it modifies it… but then when you refresh the screen and look at the code, no changes actually take.

    Are all the permissions changes you’ve done listed? Do you have the same problem with your installation?

    Thanks again for sharing!

    Dan

23. 23 On October 30th, 2008, Paul Lynch said:

    Dan,

    Yes I am aware of this issue. The problem is caused by the fact that the anonymous IUSR account doesn’t have permission to modify your WordPress files (which I think is probably a good thing)

    You can verify this by running Sysinternals’ Process Monitor on your server whilst trying to update a theme using the GUI - you will probably see Access Denied errors in the log.

    My best advice is not to alter this behaviour and only ever upload changes to your WordPress files using an FTP client.

    Regards,

    Paul Lynch

    I am (trying to / hoping to) develop a new Webpress website on my local machine (XP Pro SP3) before pushing it to the host. Alas, XP Pro does not support IIS 6. It only has 5.1 and then a scaled down version of that. I’d like to use Xampp/Apache but, at the moment at least, my host only supports IIS.

    Your articles are the only things even close to a clear set of instructions I’ve found on the web, but they are for IIS 6 on Server 2003. How much, if any of it, applies to XP Pro / IIS 5.1?

    Hi there
    we’ve installed wordpress within our website on windows 2003 server running IIS we’re using isapi 2.11 to re-write our site urls - but this doesn’t work with permalinks and the canonical plug-in also doesn’t work for the same reason - is there any way around this?
    so far we’ve been offered the following solutions but neither is very palatable.
    either upgrading the server to windows 7 - but we have about 70 websites that would need to be moved - or upgrading to isapi 3 (around 25 of our sites use isapi 2.11 and this would mean re-writing all the rules for all the sites which would be a huge task and we’d have to use a test server)
    on the other hand the blog is a lot of work and we don’t want to spend the next year writing for the blog to discover it has then to be abandoned for not being seo friendly

    I am running IIS6 on Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 2005. I have PHP 5.2.6 running with the SQLSRV 1.0 driver for PHP. My SQLServer database is on another machine than my web site. I continue to get the error message of “Error establishing a database connection”. The database is running, and the password is correct. I have successfully connected to the database using ODBC connections.

    What else do I need to check/do?

    What I am looking to do is similar. I am looking to have a static page as well as the blog appear on the main page of my wordpress site. Right now going to the settings section will only allow me to do one or the other. any feedback would be appreciated.

    Maybe you could give some advice on how to setup pretty permalinks on IIS6, Microsoft 2003 server? All i could do was setting index.php at the beginning of the every post URL. Now it goes like this: “mydomain.com/index.php/mypost/” This won’t do for SEO. Any thoughts on that one?
