vBulletin install fail in localhost
 

ok, winXP pro.. i installed the PHP binaries and IIS. configured IIS as recommended from PHP install.txt. i can view the php files, but i cannot run the install script?

what step did i miss? is not included in the install.txt?
i tried both ways: the php.exe and php4isapi.dll, no success. i get a 404 when i run the install.php

i dont feel like going back to apache.. IIS is alot faster. thanks for your help.

Did you set up the home directory ok? What happens when you just go to http://127.0.0.1/?

this is definately a problem with the way you have directories setup, and apache should run alot faster than IIS on Windows are you using Apache 1 or the Apache 2 beta, i've found that Apache 2 is much faster on windows than Apache 1.

Also IIS is full of security holes.

i placed a index.php file on the root folder, with the phpinfo() on it. when i call http://localhost it brings the file up.

i will try apache 2. thanks alot for the tips.
