Database set up problem Windows 2003

Posted by broncos88 on March 3, 2008 at 9:50pm

I can't install Drupal6 on my Windows 2003 server. I am at Set Up Database step and i do enter correct database name, user and password and click Save and Continue but it keeps taking me back to the same Set Up Database. Any help on this would be appriciated.

interested in your results. have not installed v6 yet, nor do i have a 2003 server to "test" on.

in the meantime, would you be so kind as to indicate your installation environment, please? make and version of web server, php, mysql, etc.? cannot assume anything these days. thank you!

found a "test" fully-patched win2003 (not r2) server to try this out on.

apache 2.2.6
php 5.2.5

- installed mysql 5.1.23-rc
- created drupal database; user was granted all
- fresh drupal 6.1 fileset, installing remote
- went in smoother than my other 6.x install attempts.

are you using iis?

I'm having the same issue. "Save and Continue" takes me back to the database set up page every time.
Using
Windows XP Service Pack 2
Apache 2.2.4
PHP 5.2.5
Mysql 5.0.41

Any help would be appreciated!

Check the permissions on

Check the permissions on your settings files. Make sure that the IIS user can modify them, and that should fix the problem.

it works
