Hi, I have been trying to figure this out on and off now for weeks and am having to resort to polling the audience..... The situation is this... I installed a new server with MS Server 2008R2...installed and configured IIS and PHP (using the Microsoft platform installer) and IIS and PHP seem to be working just fine. I can pull up a php page with the phpinfo fine and php pages/files seem to work just great. I am trying to then setup and configure phpbb. When I load up the installer via a web browser, I get to the requirements page and it gives the the 3 detected available database options... MySQL, MySQL with MySQLi and MSSQL via ODBC while the MSSQL Server 2000+ is left marked as 'unavailable' I am admittedly no expert web developer/admin but this has got to be pretty straightforward. In the php.ini file the mssql extension is loaded [PHP_CURL] extension=php_curl.dll [PHP_GD2] extension=php_gd2.dll [PHP_GETTEXT] extension=php_gettext.dll [PHP_IMAP] extension=php_imap.dll [PHP_MBSTRING] extension=php_mbstring.dll [PHP_MSSQL] extension=php_mssql.dll [PHP_MYSQL] extension=php_mysql.dll [PHP_MYSQLI] extension=php_mysqli.dll [PHP_OPENSSL] extension=php_openssl.dll [PHP_PDO] extension=php_pdo.dll [PHP_PDO_MYSQL] extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll [PHP_PDO_SQLITE] extension=php_pdo_sqlite.dll [PHP_SOAP] extension=php_soap.dll [PHP_TIDY] extension=php_tidy.dll [PHP_XMLRPC] extension=php_xmlrpc.dll [PHP_ZIP] extension=php_zip.dll [PHP_EXIF] extension=php_exif.dll However in phpinfo it does not list the mssql information as it does for all of the other loaded extensions. Any Ideas on what I could be missing, I do not have much hair left to rip out. Thanks! Ehren J.
