help with IIS

[bbgd]

I need to set up iis to set up php and mysql in order to follow the tutorials. I was able to set up wamp but that was using apache. I deleted wamp and re-installed 11s because it kept asking me for my username and password. Seeing as I never set that up I put in as my username as root, wwwroot, admin, etc.. For my password I used my system's password and a few I use around the internet. In Internet Explorer I get the error message "The website cannot display the page". In Firefox I get "error '8002801c', Error accessing the OLE registry.
/iisHelp/common/500-100.asp, line 17. Nothing there. Can you help as I need this to continue

The tutorials may be geared twords IIS, but you can still use wamp as your server. The only diferance is in how you set up the site.

The paths for wamp are slightly different than they are for IIS.

The document root for IIS is :
c:\inetpub\wwwroot


for wamp i believe it is:
c:\wamp\htdocs


If you can get wamp to work, than you should stick to wamp.


as for the error you are getting, it is not a simple one to fix. A quick Google search for "8002801c" yielded the following as the first result:

I think you will have an easier time of adjusting the site definition paths for wamp than trying to fix the IIS installation.

There was a "-" before "-display_errors" Does the "-" need to be there? The same thing happens in "-error_reporting". I also need to know, am I correcting the .ini file I Copied top C:\Windows or the one in the php directory. I am using wamp by the way. If I am using wamp do I need to make these changes foe php.ini at all. All my files go into wamp/bin/apache/apache2.0.58/hcdoc correct?

[Jason Byrnes]

using WAMP you do not need to make any changes to the php.ini file, all of the changes should be made for you in the wamp installation.

In my expiration with wamp, web pages are served from c:\wamp\htdocs but check the wamp documentation to make sure.
