phlymo Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I am trying to setup phpbb. The problem i am having at the moment is that for some reason it seems my PHP will not see that i have mssql. It sees that there is mysql installed, but i have SQLexpress 2008 rc2. When i go into the phpbb installation it should come up as mssql 2005+, but it is not seeing it. It muct be something i am not doing in the php.ini file, but for the life of me, i have spent ages on forums, to no avail. I know i have PHP running,because i see a info page, that i setup. http://forum.namibianrugby.com This shows i have PHP installed ok. I also have a SQL express 2008 studio manager, which shows i have a databse called phpbb created. But when i try the install it says the only mssql 2000-odbc. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phlymo Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Thanks i have this already downloaded and in my ext folder. I think it is something i am fundementally missing from my php.ini file. I do not know enough about this product to troubleshoot it. I have looked around for a basic idea of what the ini file should look like for mssql2008, but no real ideas.

trq Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 In your php.ini you need to go to the extensions section and add the sqlsrv extension, then restart IIS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Swan Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 For what it's worth, the Web Platform Installer (which you can download here: http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx) will install PHPBB and all the prerequisites for running it on Windows/SQL Server. If you are still stuck, it might be worth giving this a try. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
