[...] Instalar MySQL en IIS7 [...]

Problem finally solved. I uninstalled PHP3 and installed:

php-5.2.13-nts-win32-installer.msi

And it works finally! It seems that I am running into new problems, since the .css files won’t be loaded and the website is pointing to localhost instead of 192.x.x.x but this shouldn’t be a big problem.

Good luck everyone!

Huub, Jason, John,

Exact same problem here. Same configuration as well. All seems to work (php, iis7, cgi) and I get to phpmyadmin logon screen.

Logon with ‘root’ and password, wait 25 seconds: error 500.

If you have any idea, please respond.

Thank you.

Huub and Jason, I am running into the exact same problem that yall are having (or had). Right down to the phpmyadmin log in page. Did yall solve this problem? Any help would be great!

The script was added too literally. Here it is again, hope this will work.

$conn = mysql_connect(’localhost’, ‘root’, ‘here is the root password’);

if (!$conn) print(”connection to mysql not successful”);
else print(”connection to mysql successful!!”);

Like Jason, same for me.
I installed php and mysql following the guides (thanks for posting them!) and after also installing phpmyadmin (following the steps in that training too) I get an 500 error, error code 0×00000000. Running phpmyadmin from the browser opens the username/password page but after submitting that (and waiting a while) the 500 error turns up.

I also created a short script using:

but also this script does not run. I can run mysql from the command line using root and the password and that seems to work well. Also php code without mysql access runs fine. So somehow php and mysql don’t talk to each other very well.

Does anybody has a clue for this, I am already working days on this issue. Thanks.

(Windows Server 2008, IIS 7, mysql essential 5.1.41 win32.msi, php 5.3.1. nts win32 vc9 x86.msi)

You should maybe have a step to verify the install like create a quick database. i am stuck somewhere between this and installing phpmyadmin. I can get it all set up when when I try to log in to phpmyadmin as root I get a http error 500.0

Great guide. As a senior IT person the process was easy to follow however definately would have been arduos to figure out.

Thanks… you saved me a tone of time.

Great tutorial. I’m writing one as well – mostly so I can remember how to set it up the next time I need to :-). I’m setting up a WordPress blog for my company and they are a little paranoid about access and security issues. Is enabling network access to MySQL necessary if the web server is running on the same machine as MySQL? I can’t seem to find the answer anywhere.

Thanks,
David

Had the same “service wont run” issue.
I can confirm that deleting the MySQL service and running the final steps of installing MySQL Server again works :)

Was done on SBS 2008 STD 64-bit.

i can not start mysql service in configuration wizard…

how can i fix it ???

IT_Architect,

The problem your experiencing is from already having the mysql service installed. This may have happened if you have tried to install mysql more than once and failed. Open up services and stop and delete the mysql service. This will allow the installer to continue.

Thanks,
Levi

I uninstalled all updates and powershell and rebooted. Back to a bare default install. It didn’t help. I appears he install program will not install InnoDB in with this combination. The most logical culprit is a rights issue, but I have not nailed it down.

I doubt that this works anymore. At the end of the instance config after you hit the execute button, you will get the error message:

“Could not start the service mysq. Error: 0″

However, the service IS started when you check on it, so it had no problem starting the service. However, you cannot fnish the install. Moreover it leaves things half configured. It does not backup out. Some say you can delete the instance and uninstall to get a clean start, but that is false. You must go into programdata and delete it from there after you uninstall or it will modify the behavior of the install.

I don’t have a solution yet. There are a lot of people gasing about fixes on the web, but I haven’t seen them work. What I can say is it revolves around InnoDB. If you select the options so you don’t install InnoDB, it will install fine. I already tried changing the InnoDB location to one of the suggested locations off root, updated the Windows installer to 4.5. They did not help. If I were a betting man, I’d bet it has to do with an MS security update.

This will not install:
Windows 2008 Server Web Edition x64 (TechNet)
Updates install, PowerShell installed, inbound ping enabled, with or without updated 4.5 installer.
MySQL 5.1 x64

Ben-

Im glad the articles helped you out!

John-
Specifically it was named that because I did the install on Server 2008. It will probably almost be exactly the same for older server installs, but I like to be specific, plus it helps people find exactly what matches their problem when searching.

Dave,

Your articles are awesome. Clear, concise, and best of all, they actually work. Thank you for the time you’ve taken to write this article and the previous on getting PHP to work on Server 2008. I was about ready to pull my hair out before I found your articles.

Thanks again,
Ben
