http://sqlsrvphp.codeplex.com/ - As far as I know you need to use this. The MSSQL drivers that come with PHP (by default) either do not work, or really are horrible with IIS. I use this driver to get everything to work and have no problem what so ever. Have you tried using the install for Web Platform Installer to get PHPbb? Jamie R.

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.
