Dear clark,
Do you have any test script through wich i can try the connectivity between PHP & mySQL?
as i have one as pasted below, but it is not working, also after making the above changes in php.ini file it gives the same result.
can you plz confirm whether the versions that i am using, has any deviations...
OR
Shoudl i eliminate the IIS completely from the process and try with apache web serevr on windows?, would this be feasible and advisable ????, Since my requirement is to work the wordpress on win2K3 box. I have tested the PHP working fine, have tsted mySQL working fine and IIS too as an stand alone applications. but they are not working togather.
PLEASE SUGGEST THE BEST ALTERNATIVE FOR THE SAME TO HAVE WORDPRESS WORKING ON WIN2K3 BOX WITH ALL ITS PRE-REQUISITES.
