Installation on windows server 2008

Permalink
Hi all

I'm trying to install c5 on a windows 2008 server runing Plesk 9.5.

On the install page I see a waring saying:
You must chmod 755 concrete/libraries/3rdparty/htmldiff.py and disable PHP safe mode.

As I'm on a windows server I can just change chmod, but I have set permission on that file so that "IUSR" has full control and even tried to set full permission on the hole 3rdparty folder... but iit does not remove the warning.

I also tjecked that the safemode is set to off in php, and this is also fine.
(see my attached screendumps)

I have seen other issues regarding this warning in the forum and made a search in Google too, but haven't forund a solution...

So does anyone have an idea here? I hope there are some others who have installed this on a win server with succes and who can help me.

If I ignore the warning and continue the installation I get this:
Server Error500 - Internal server error.
There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.

and after that if I try to load the index.php again I have the famous white page that I have seen others talk about too...

Kind regards
Brian N

Hi Brian,

The first error I wouldn't worry about too much. This is for comparison, I have C5 running perfectly without this. (Obviously version comparison doesn't work)

The 500 server error is occuring during install, so C5 is probably not getting installed correctly, this is why when you try to view the site you get nothing.

A few questions:

If you logon to the MySQL server are the tables being generated?

Which version of PHP are you using with IIS? CGI/ISAPI?

I'm assuming your using IIS, not Apache?

It would be an idea to check your error logs for the cause of the 500 and / or enable PHP error reporting if you haven't done so. This will replace the standard IIS 500 error with a more detailed version.

See this:http://www.webdigi.co.uk/blog/2009/php-on-windows-server-2008-500-i...
