Have you already ran the "sm_install.php" file?

Have you uploaded it or installed it? And what is the URL to your board?

when i try to open the page it says:
"The page cannot be displayed"

Ask your host if you can install PHP files..


Security Alert! The PHP CGI cannot be accessed directly.

This PHP CGI binary was compiled with force-cgi-redirect enabled. This means that a page will only be served up if the REDIRECT_STATUS CGI variable is set, e.g. via an Apache Action directive.

To run Invision Power Board you need PHP 4.06(+) and MySQL 3.22(+)

Windows 2000 Terminal

[h1]

Damn, I know nothing about Windows 2000 Terminal. Sorry. :(

Perhaps you should try php.net or mysql.com, although their help is geared more towards Apache and *nix.

Invision has the option to run on msSQL now too. I've never gotten IPB to work on windows but they say it's possible.

If you can't get it to work, take a look at webwiz forums. They run really good on ASP in windows 2000.

I think it is easier to set up in Windows becuase you won't have to deal with file permissions, etc.

And you can easliy install it on a Windows Machine, just install Apache, PHP, and WinMySQLAdmin and your set... :01:

[toco004]

thanks balamm im gonna try it out

:blink: :blink: You gotta be kidding me :blink:

Windows permissions are a f**kin nightmare lately with all the IIS patches and crap. At least on the server I'm on. Everything's a trade off to get something else to work.
