Hi all,

I wanted to find out if PostNuke will be able to run on an IIS6 server instead of the apache system. I'll still be running MySQL though.

If anyone has done this before and would care to share, many thanks in advance.

Been running PostNuke on IIS 4 and then IIS 5 on multiple systems for years now. No problems at all.

So just load MySQL, then PN? obviously adding the PN dir to a website in IIS...

Guess i'll be trying that then...

Make sure you install PHP too.

I tried PN with IIS 6 on a highend Dell server and the performance of IIS 6 was just bad and I am pro microsoft.

IIS 6 would lock up or just freeze. Changed to Apache and I have not looked back. I tried every trick in the book to make it work.

IIS 6 program is built into OS not like IIS 5 and 4 which is a separate exe program.

Plus use PHP easy windows

Sorry if this sounds rude, but any limitations IIS has in relation to PN are user-based not software based. When I first configured the web server, I had zero experience with IIS and was able to get it to work just fine after some trial and error. Like everything else, it just takes some learning.

It IS possible to do and I have come across exactly zero limitations using PN with IIS.

I'm new to PN. My goal is the replace my WebX server with a PN Forum. I am having creating the DB.
My Server has:
Windows 2003
IIS6
PHP 5.0.3
MySQL 4.1

I get the following error:


No database made.Error connecting to DB
Program: C:\Web Sites\PostNuke\HTML\install\db.php - Line N.: 45
Database:
Error (1045) : Access denied for user 'ODBC\@\localhost' (using password: NO)

Solved that issue. Seems to be working great. Now I'm working on the mail settings to work with exchange 2003
