CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello,

I'm getting a "No valid database drivers appear to be compiled into your PHP install..." error on step 3. I guessed it must be my php configuration. Indeed I installed php just for your cms, so I can't try it to see if it work with MySql (4.1). Can you possibly tell me what php code I have to run to get this piece of information, as I don't know php programming?

At this moment I'm trying to install it on my Win XP box with IIS. I've just downloaded php 5.1.1 and installed. But maybe it is not complete... Do I need to install some extensions?

Please help me!

Hi paolo,

To use CMSMS on your Windows Machine I'd recommend using a package like Wampserver, which installs Apache, PHP, MySQL and phpMyAdmin all in one package.

If you do that, uninstall your current versions of PHP and MySQL first.

Wonderful hint. Thank you!

But soon or later I'll have to to put the whole thing on my Windows 2003 sever, where some IIS sites are online.

Can I make Apache and IIS coexist?

Thanks.

Can't you use Apache also on the Windows 2003 server?

But yes, you can use both IIS and Apache, if they use different ports (for example port 8080 for Apache if IIS is using the standard port 80).

You can read more about that here.

I've never used IIS myself, so can't help you more with that unfortunately...
