I have set up PHP5.3, MySQL5.1, and IIS7 on Window 7 but php doesn't want to work with MySQL. I'm assuming it is a configuration error or an incomplete install on my part.
MySQL5.1 is working
PHP5.3 is working, phpinfo() shows info and that i have enabled MySQL
IIS is setup and using fastCgiModule to run PHP
IIS registers php.ini updates
port 3306 is firewall free and open to the world
php.ini is configured correctly
I have added c:\php to the Windows systems PATH
In the past I remember moving a file, libmysql.dll, to System32 but I doesn't look like that come with php5.3.1, as the driver comes built in now http://us3.php.net/manual/en/mysqlnd.install.php.
(This has been giving me so much trouble I have been documenting my findings on my blog as http://inteldesigner.com/2010/code/having-problems-getting-php5-3-to-work-with-mysql5-1 )
NEED:
I need to install PHP manually, don't want to use the quick installer or an older version
I need to get PHP5.3 to work with MySQL5.1 so i can install Wordpress2.9 and Drupal7a
Any links or suggestion would be great, I have already done everything on the iis web site, nothing is working. I'm guessing they have not updated for new software.
