Sorry guys, I didn't remember exactly what the error was, and I have
been battling this for days. I am so sick of IIS. Unfortunately I have
one server that uses it.
Yes, I have found that the installer is nothing but a pain. It does
very little. I have installed from the binary distribution now, and
php is running. However, most of the modules, like mysql are not
running. The others are openssl, curl, and sockets. I have downloaded
the PECL files and have installed them, I have set the system
variables, permission, ISAPI Filter, one site suggested a modification
to the registry, and on and on. PHP is running, so I know that is not
a problem. Why will some of the modules not load?
If someone could explain to me why the other modules may not be
loading, I would appreciate it.
Mike
