Well I have it running on Windows 7 Home Premium which also uses IIS 7 (what, you don't all run your own personal web servers on your home desktops? :)) and I remembering having some trouble with that... you need to turn off friendly errors ...

Try here: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/765/improve-php-error-messages-in-iis-7/

And if you still can't get it to work you can write back and I can probably help you get it working.

Ok.  Trying to do some web stuff on a Server 2008 Web server.  I am playing around with Word Press as an option for some faculty to use for studio web pages and such.  (as well as wanting to learn a bit about Joomla)  However, I’m having issues getting PHP and WordPress to work quite right.

 

PHP is apparently installed and working.  I have a phpinfo.php file with only one line, the phpinfo command.  And it generates the phpinfo page with all info about the PHP install.  However, when I navigate to the WordPress directory, I just get an HTTP 500 Server error….  No information other than that.

 

I’ve used the Microsoft Web Platform Installer to install everything, as well as installing all components individually.

 

Any ideas out there?

 

Thanks!
