Discuss this Topic here: viewtopic.php?f=429&t=302264#p1191408
Hi

A number of people are experiencing issues when trying to install Joomla! on Windows Internet Information Services (IIS) :(

In an attempt to assist with this please have a look at the details that were posted in theJoomla! 1.0 Installation Forum on this same topic.

I offer no guarantees as I have never used IIS but there may well be some help for you from within the details contained there.

Please continue to post your questions within this forum (1.5 Installation) when appropriate.

Thanks

Andy

There is even more simple to install PHP in IIS if using FastCGI. Just copy the binaries to a folder, install FastCGI and map PHP to the executable. Do not download the installer for PHP.
Runs smooth, fast and simple. No more trouble with PHP-installations.

The place where installs on IIS seem to go south is in configuring php.ini correctly and in getting php.ini into the Windows dir, and php5ts.dll into system32.

The link you posted is focused on Joomla 1.0.13.  Here is the correct link for the video tutorial for installing 1.5 on Windows 2003 with IIS6:

http://www.videotutorialzone.com/conten ... -iis6.html

For what it is worth, it covers everything discussed in the threads quoted above.

I use windows server 2008, iis7 and php-fastcgi.
The problem was that the wrapper didn't work (was linking to empty and invalid url: http:///)
Another problem was when you had a menu configured for collapsed mode, and unfold submenu's when clicked, the submenu's wouldn't actually unfold.

I have found a temporary 'fix' for this problem. Reference: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/infinit ... d-profiles and http://drupal.org/node/249370

Basically as test, I added the following code into index.php after the first few defines:
Code:
/*
Plugin Name: IIS request_uri fix
*/
    if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REQUEST_URI'])){
        $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_REQUEST_URI'];
    }
    else{
        if(isset($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']))
            $_SERVER['HTTP_REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
        else
            $_SERVER['HTTP_REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
        if($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']){
            $_SERVER['HTTP_REQUEST_URI'] .=  '?' . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
        }
        $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_REQUEST_URI'];
    };

and it works properly again.

As it seems, the IIS CGI/FastCGI interface doesn't handle the request_URI like ISAPI interface, or apache etc.

Hope this helps some ppl

I found a fix for the above Joomla 1.56 error when attempting to Apply/Save changes in the Global Configuration window on an installation of Joomla 1.56 on Windows 2003 Server R2 SP2 with MySQL 5.0.67, PHP 5.2.6 and IIS 6.0 .

Change the file security permission on configuration.php ( i.e. C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\configuration.php ) to allow Read/Write access for the Internet Guest Account.

After making this change, Global Configuration changes are updated successfully.

Hope this helps … took me 8 hours of testing and searching to find this solution … I got the idea for this fix from watching the Joomla installation video from VideoTutorialZone

Screencast video of fix - http://screencast.com/t/F25o0h9Z

Special thanks to installation videos on http://www.videotutorialzone.com for tremendous help in installing Joomla, PHP and MySQL on a Windows 2003 Server running IIS 6.0

Belatedly put this on the thread as it has just come up with a user on another thread.
Recommend using Zend Server Community Edition to help set up either IIS/Apache plus MySQL and PHP (and other options besides)
It takes a lot of the hard work out of the process.
Available for other platforms too, and Zend is the commercial arm of PHP so they should know what they are doing!
