Topic: Installation on Windows 2003

I've got many problems to install punBB on a Windows 2003 Server.

I use :

  - punBB 1.2.6,
  - MySQL Server 4.1.13 (OK),
  - PHP 5.0.4 with MySQL/MySQLi extensions (OK),
  - IIS 6.0 (OK).

Everythink is well configured.

Before the installation, if I go to the index.php page, empty / blank page.
During the installation, in the install.php, I have to change the default PUN_ROOT './' by ''.
Then I create the config.php file (without the ?> balise ?).
Finally, index.php is always empty.

So, I'm looking for someone who has installed punBB 1.2.6 on Windows.

Thanks for your help.

I've done this modification in each PHP page but after, it fails on the require() sad

Re: Installation on Windows 2003

This must be an IIS6 problem. I've run PunBB on IIS5 without any problem.
