I originally had this installed on Vista64 – worked great. I did the Win7 upgrade – absolutely no issues. Win7 just picked up Vista’s setting and kept on going. Great tutorial.

Thanks in advance

This by far has been the most valuable, most informative and accurate guide thus far on php and mysql for vista, let alone IIS7 on all of the internet. THANK YOU!!! This helped solve not one, but two, 2 days of picking apart my system installing and uninstalling and configuring permissions and hair pulling.

New to web servers and I am confused by this statement, “Request Execution Limit is how many simultaneous pages the web server can give out at one time. That means Vista Basic, Starter, and Home editions can serve up to 259,200 pages per day”.

If the limit is 3 for Vista Home Premium, doesn’t that mean only 3 users can access the same page at one time?

Just use “php.ini-development” to create your php.ini file. It appears that “php.ini-dist” has been dropped in later versions of PHP.

Hey, I’ve been hired on by a pool hall to get a site up n runnin for them. I’ve been into basic (ok intermediate) web design for years but havent been keeping up with new stuff.
I am JUST learning all about databases and stuff.

When following this guide, they mention right in
4. “Copy C:\php\php.ini-dist and save it on your desktop so we can work with it.”

The latest version (currently) is 5.3.1 and only has “php.ini-development” and “php.ini-production” no php.ini-dist =(

as a follow up to anyone who may be able to help. My laptop is identical to my desktop, except the desktop is vista 64 vs vista 32 on the laptop. The entire process went smoothly – exact same programs and procedures as the desktop install. In just a matter of minutes – the laptop works great. The desktop still will not connect to the Mysql – the php and mysql are not talking to each other. Thanks

I just set up my vista64 with the IIS server. All went ok. PHP 5.2.11 and Mysql 5.0.86 (for win64) . When I try to install Zen Cart 1.3.8a I get a X (red X) saying MySql support is Off. I checked, the server is running and installed correctly. I have also created a database for my Zen Install. On my previous WINXP I used ApacheTriad – loved it, but never could get it installed on my Vista64. Greatly appreciate your help. MySql Admin says it is running on port 3306 – could this be the problem? If you need more detailed info – send me an e-mail. Thanks
