Windows Server 2003, IIS 6.0, 1.8.4 Installation Headache
Hi,
I'm having trouble installing tikiwiki. The main problem I am having is that whenever I try to run the tiki-install.php script, I get a blank page in my browser. I have spent a lot of time trying to get tikiwiki up — I've followed all the install guides (there are two "solid" guides and about three or four forum/wiki entries with quick-fixes), set permissions correctly, and still nothing has worked. I've been over and over the requirements with my host's tech support and I've reviewed their php.ini file for odds and ends — I've even taken to trying to debug the install script! Nothing! I'm to the point where I would think about blaming the host if I hadn't already successfully launched many other sites with them.
To help solve the matter, I will try and provide as much info about the server's setup and versions as possible.
MySQL 4.0.12-nt
PHP 4.3.1
IIS 6.0
Windows Server 2003
Tikiwiki 1.8.4
Above, where I mention following guides, I followed instructions at the ends of the following urls:
http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=IISInstall&bl
http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=InstallWithOnlyFtpAccess&tikiversion=1.8.3 (this is a very well writtenguide — by the way!)
http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=IisWorkarounds
... and a few others in the Arch/Install area of tikwiki forums.
In my debugging I've not been successful at solving the problem. In fact, most of the work-arounds or instructions I've followed don't seem to make the difference where my problem is concerned. I have given as much information as I can think of for now (It's late — i'm seeing double-tiki everywhere I look). If I can think of anything else, I'll add it to this forum entry later. As I've not found too much about my specific problem, I think whatever comes of this entry will be a good helper for those out there who come across the same problem. Any suggestions?
If I can provide any specifics, please ask me. Your time is tremendously appreciated!
