Post subject:  [SOLVED] Windows XP installation configuration.php and install2.php
I'm trying to install joomla for the first time together with PHP 5.0.5 , MySql 4.1.14 but does not have much success. When I delete the configuration.php the installation pages appear with all topics green. When I proceed to step1 the install2.php gives a blank page and nothing seems to happen anymore. I assume it failes in creating a database. With the same username password. I can create the database with mysqladmin and fill it with the sample data.
When I copy the configuration.php-dist to configuration.php and customzie it to my local situation the web-site always states it is temporarely unavailable with a number 1.
I checked the configuration.php with the fault finder (found in another topic) and all tests passed

There must be something wrong with mysql, I think,  but I can't find out what and I don't know where to look for hints.
I searched the forum for several hours.

I assume that the browser installation creates a configuration.php so I don't need one before the installation. Where can I find why the install2.php does nothing?

Solved,

The install2.php got stuck in new database( ) . I added in php.ini the 
extension=php_mysqli.dll

Besides extension=php_mysql.dll  , it solved my problem.

I spent a *lot* of hours fighting with mambo AND Joomla! over this --
after reading the excellent link provided by HuubM... all is well. ;)

The whole installation process works perfectly (on Win2003 server w/ IIS) by now...!!!

-=-=-=-=-=-

Recap + additional infos for other persons with those problems (stuck blank install2.php page & MYSQL server unavailable):

- In your PHP.INI, uncomment:
  ; extension=php_mysql.dll

- In your PHP.INI, add:
  extension=php_mysqli.dll

- In your PHP.INI, modify:
  extension_dir = "./"
  with
  extension_dir = "./ext"

- Don't forget that the Installation package of PHP isn't enough.  You need to download + extract/install the PHP zip file to get
  the necessary extensions.

THANKS a lot HuubM for sharing your precious infos!  :laugh:

Hello - I've followed all the suggestions listed here and still get exactly the same result.

- MySQL support  Unavailable

I have installed both MySQL 5.0.22 and PHP 5.1.4, both of which are running fine.

My own hunch is that PHP just isn't connecting to MySQL but I'm really stuck as all the tutorials and help pages I've found related to PHP, MySQL and IIS are all saying pretty much what's been said in this thread.

Have you created a Schema in MySQL for your Joomla database?

Hi all,

I'm the author of the article "Building a PHP 5 Web Server on Windows IIS", just posting to let you all know that the above link to this article is now dead, and the new location is as follows:

I hope it helps someone to solve their installation-related issues ;-)

Regards,

John.

I had this problem and was tearing hair out. My php was fine, it was windows not finding the dlls. After everything, this is what finally worked for me:

check 1.2 - The PATH Environment Variable
