http://www.videotutorialzone.com – (Part 3 of 3) The Joomla Content management system makes running a dynamic website easier than ever, but it is really meant to be run on a Linux server. For those thast want to run it on a Windows server, getting it set up is quite complicated, but not impossible.
This is because getting Joomla, PHP and MySQL all to play nicely in IIS is quite a chore. This is the third in a series of 3 tutorials that will get you running Joomla on Windows with Internet Information Server (IIS) in under an hour.

Nevermind. Went through it again and I forgot one thing. It is working now. Sweet!
I went through this entire tutorial and still says No MySQL Support on the Pre Installation Check?
Great video. My install was a little different, but helped out a lot. Thanks!
This should work equally on XP Pro
can u install this on windows xp? or does it have to be windows 2003 server?
I meant to put more in my comments – I struggled for hours – reinstalling and never got it to work – MySQL Support was always unavailable as well as the Session Path – watched video and followed along and everything went great-I kept getting a blank Install2.php page but this solved it. Thanks again for making this and sharing it.
excellent – saved my butt !!
GREAT WORK!!!
I can’t believe how easy you make it.
Thanks Alot
I may be able to help if I know your exact setup. The setup in the video was a fresh installation of Windows 2003, SP2
I fixed th display errors
but mysql support is still pending
ive got the same problem & i went through every step
MySQL support Unavailable’
Display Errors: Off
I dont know what to do =(
Very good tutorial by the way!
Go through it step by step again. Make sure you give the IUSR___ user read and write access on the session save path in Explorer, and double-check the other paths as well. That should really be all you need to do.
Great series of tutorials! Well done! I am still having problems though running Joomla. In the ‘Required Settings Check:’ when Joomla starts the installation I am seeing ‘- MySQL support Unavailable’ and ‘Session save path Unwritable’. I have checked MySQL and the service is running and the port isn’t been blocked by the firewall. I also have the Sessions save path correct. Any suggestions?
