Hi -

We’ve got an expression engine site that is working correctly under LAMP and have had a request to get it working under windows with IIS.

I’ve got IIS7, Mysql 5.1, PHP 5.4.1 (with MySQLi, GD2) working on a server and have written a quick test_mysql.php script to access various mysql tables and output them via php - no problem. I’ve got a working php log file that is outputting errors.

However whenever I try any expression engine script it outputs a blank page with nothing going to the log file.

E.g. I navigate to ee_wizard—I can view the form, I input the same details I’m using in the test_mysql.php script, and when I click submit I see a blank page, nothing appears in the php error log. Any ideas?

Ok, I’ve got the ee_wizard working now, but I’m getting “URL Segment not supported” . I’ve tried to find some workarounds, but this forum entry:
http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/128030/

says there’s a workaround - is that for EE1 only? it links to a 404 page on the ee site:
http://expressionengine.com/knowledge_base/article/main_page_content_appears_on_every_page_i_get_404s_except_on_the_main_page_/

(However I’m going to try using the URL Rewrite module for IIS: http://www.iis.net/download/URLRewrite  )

“URL segment not supported” can mean you need to enable query strings, so you get a ? in the url, eg http://www.mysite.com/index.php?/something/something

Well, despite the reported “URL Segment not supported” - PATH_INFO is working fine and segment support seems ok. Url Rewrite 2.0 did the trick that mod_rewrite was doing for me on apache. A few template parsing weirdnesses to go, but at least I’ve got it working

Hello tim_diggins,

I am glad to see that you got this sorted out!

Thanks to Rob for the assist.
