Windows Install Error
7 October 2010 at 9:52am
Hi, I am having some issues getting SS functioning correctly. I followed directions from http://doc.silverstripe.org/installation-on-windows-server-manual-iis to manually install to an IIS server on Windows 7. When I attempt to run the site http://localhost/ss24 I receive the error [Warning] mysql_connect(): [2002] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not (trying to connect via tcp://localhost:3306). I am not sure what would be causing this issue and any help is greatly apprecaited.

And you get this error when going to install.php?
It looks like you haven't set the database details correctly...
Please make sure your working copy is clean, and you're using the original mysite/_config.php from the downloaded SilverStripe package.

No, the error is when I attempt to go to index.php. The copy of _config.php under mysite directory is the original downloaded file. I believe in the instructions it asks for you to input a database name into the file but other than that no changes where made. If I browse to install.php I get several errors regarding permissions...
Is the web.config file writeable? The webserver user needs to be able to write to this file:
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ss24\web.config
Is the mysite/_config.php file writeable? The webserver user needs to be able to write to this file:
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ss24\mysite\_config.php
Is the assets/ folder writeable? The webserver user needs to be able to write to this file:
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ss24\assetsAnd a database error:
Database server I couldn't find a database server on 'localhost': A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
If I add "Everyone" to allow full control at inetpub folder the access errors go away but still doesnt resolve initial problem browsing to index.php.

I think that's where the instructions are wrong. I've removed the section that indicated changing the database name from "" to "ss24".
The installer should take care of this for you.
Could you try setting it back to "" then going to http://localhost/ss24?
Cheers,

Hi Sean: After removing the database name from that file it worked perfectly. Thanks so much for your help and quick response.

Great to hear!
I need to add a section to that documentation which shows you how to add a default document of index.php. IIS doesn't do this by default when you're adding a new "Handler Mapping" entry for PHP.
Cheers,

You can use IIS Web Gallery to install PHP.
So, Web Gallery config IIS to run PHP.
I suggest to install WinCache, too. -

biapar: Yes, but this is a manual install, and the advantage is you install a VC9 version of PHP 5.3 instead of VC6 of PHP 5.2 which WebPI installs. VC9 compiles are faster than VC6 and 5.3 is also faster than 5.2. There's also full control over the process, so you learn how to setup PHP via FastCGI with IIS.
Wincache is also covered by the guide, and yes it's a recommended installation.
