http://www.silverstripe.org/home/ http://www.silverstripe.org/#PageComment_399 Spent the night trying to install this on IIS6 / 2003 Server.

Problems :

- WPI doesn't configure FastCGI correctly to parse PHP pages (404 error on .php page after install)

- WPI Install script need root SQL access to complete or else it will fail (Need RELOAD privileges) (For info info RELOAD is deprecated and shouldn't be used)

- Once I configured everything correctly and had it running, Silverstripe was running without them (White background and black unformatted text) and loading a page was extremely slow.

- The Admin page is not working (After login, it just displays "Loading..."

- HUGE SECURITY FLAW: WPI doesn't delete the install.php page after install

- I supposed that WPI install was crappy and because it left the install.php I tried to run an install again. The install page is loading quickly and correctly (Theme and everything) but can't finish the install because it needs URL_REWRITE.

Conclusion: WPI is a piece of shit and Silverstripe is not ready to run on IIS6 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:09:46 +1200 Sh4 http://www.silverstripe.org/#PageComment_399 http://www.silverstripe.org/#PageComment_394 Vaughn, you'll need the CD if you don't have some components of your IIS web server set up. You can use Apache or another server as an alternative...

(Although in the install you may have chosen to install your website elsewhere.)

Already hace gallery2 and wordpress up and running on the site utilizing the web installer. However, I cannot get silverstripe up and running. After the install I click on the link provided by the installer and it goes to a blank page. Have not figured out how to get beyond this point.
