Can't get past step 3 into step 4

[sajanisch]

PHP 5.3.0
MySql 5.1.39
windows 7
IIS 7
self hosted

I cannot seem to get past step 3, it appears step 3 worked successfully but it will not move to step 4

Is there a way to invoke step 4 by itself ?
or who can tell me what all happens in step 4 ?

my shop (sample data) seems to exist but I can't do any admin because I don't have an account

thanks, Scott

Did you use the search?

Look: Here or Here.

Let us know hat solved it.

YES, I did use search
AND I read thru both of those threads
which contain alot of false leads and disinformation

however, I have modified my php.ini to use
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
(and I'm not checking the email config checkbox at the bottom of step 3)
and still no luck

that is why I am looking for a workaround currentl
(did you read my post ?)

what happens in step 4 and is it something that I can accomplish in a different way ?

as far as I know there is only one php.ini file that matters and it is in my php installation folder, correct ?

Sorry I keep posting this, but there are so many with the same question, maybe it will help:
=====================================

This is wierd! I had the same problem, I couldn’t get past step 3 of installation. The database and tables were created, but I couldn’t create a user in step 4.

I changed the php.ini as suggested earlier and that didn’t work either

However, I did find a solution to my problem! For some reason in my Firefox 3.5.3 and in Internet Explorer 8 I could not get past step 3, but in Opera 10 I had success without changing anything internally.

Why would that be?

Interesting, I didn't think to try "compatibility mode" in IE8

Somehow I managed to get mine working after several reinstalls of PHP and mySql, I think I just happened to stumble upon the right combination of versions for them, and I also found a good article on installing fastcgi on IIS 7, which I'll post if I can.

funny, though, I posted my original question and was asked if I searched and read the other posts, which I had, but the questions in my post seemed to have been ignored, so I asked back if my post was read, must have been the wrong thing to say cuz I could no longer seem to post on the forum !!! like I was blacklisted or something, so I've had to create a new account and can now post

maybe there's a language barrier or cultural difference I don't understand ;-)

What version of PHP and MySQL do you use now?

[itlogic]

I did notice if you copy and past from an existing post to a new post, I doesn't post. Must have a check to make sure the exact same post isn't submitted twice in the same thread or even a different thread. I'm not sure if that's what you mean, but I had to change a word because I copied and pasted from a previous post. Once I changed the word, it let me post.

Just to followup, I seem to have a successful configuration using the following:

Windows 7
IIS 7.5 (must enabled fastcgi support)
PHP version 5.3.0
MySql version 5.1.39

here is a good article on using fastcgi to host php applications on IIS 7
