Issues Installing on Win7/IIS7/MYSQL

[gabelh]

Hello,

I have been tremendously struggling with the installation of Mantis 1.2.4 for the past couple of days and finally, I have no choice but to ask for help. I am running Windows 7 Professional and using IIS 7. I followed the instructions for downloading and installing PHP 5.4.3 manually, created the FastCGI handler mapping and modified my php.ini file per the instructions.

After some bizarre instances of modifying my PHP.ini file without the changes taking place, I restarted the PC and while my test.php file launches and provides the output for my PHP configuration, I get a blank screen when going to http://localhost/mantis. Either way, it's a blank screen. I'm not certain the issue is with PHP at this point since the test.php file works fine and is showing the correct information based on the file but I can't seem to locate any logging information to give more detailed information. Lastly, if I manually go to http://localhost/mantis/admin/index.php I receive the following error;
"Application Error 400
Database connection failed. Error received from database was #1049: Unknown database 'bugtracker'."

I have yet to successfully get through the installation process to create a database so this is especially confusing. I am a PHP/MYSQL/Mantis neophyte so I'm sure this is a basic issue but exhausting internet searches for the answers have rendered no results for this particular problem.

Thanks in advance,
Gabe

Hi,

Since this is Installing problem, how about try wamp http://www.wampserver.com/en/.
Everything is there! apache, php and mysql. And in installing, will not give you a pain.


Thanks

hello,

I'm not an expert here but to me this error looks like you want to access mantis db before it was created...

try what is described in step #3: http://docs.mantisbt.org/master/en/admi ... NSTALL.NEW

in your case, go to http://localhost/mantis/admin/install.php

best, udo
