Installation on Windows Server 2000 failure

[Jan]

I have serious problems installing CMS made simple 1.4.1 on Windows Server 2000, IIS 5.0, PHP 5.0.5, MySQL 5.0

No restrictions on the CMS made simple WEB folder (any user all rights).

I have followed the installation manual on http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... ck_Install and did not get further than STEP 7.

If I try to access address http://www.yoursite.com/index.php FireFox 3.0.3 will show "Redirect Loop - Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request fot this address in a way that wil never complete".
If I try to access address http://www.yoursite.com/install/index.php I got an PHP error "Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in C:\Inetpub\cmsmadesimple\install\index.php on line 102".

Does anyone have an idea what is going wrong? Probable some incompatibility in versions of PHP, MySQL? Or some configuration error on the IIS web server?

1.5 will have more strict checks for permissions.
Have you sure that php owner has full permission on cmsmadesimple folders?

Try to reinstall with install/index.php?debug=1

Alby,
thank you for your quick response. I double checked the permissions on the CMSMadeSimple folder and there are no restrictions - Everyone - all rights. The link install/index.php?debug=1 gets the same result as install/index.php - PHP error -  Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in C:\Inetpub\cmsmadesimple\install\index.php on line 102.
