Installing WordPress on SBS 2011

    Hello all,

    I’m in the process of developing a new WordPress website. The client would like to run the website on their internal network for their staff.

    What they are running
    OS: Win SBS 2011
    Model: HP ProLiant DL360 G7
    Memory: 6 GB of RAM

    Problems we’re having
    The companies server engineer tried installing PHP using the latest version from the official PHP website.

    Unfortunately, this didn’t work, so the IIS wizard was used instead. The IIS wizard was partially successful.

    After the IIS Wizard was complete, the engineer loaded a info.php file on the server. The info.php file indicated that PHP was installed.

    When launching WordPress on the server, WordPress displays an error to say PHP is not installed.

    We’re not sure where to go next. Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Ox

    Can’t really make too many suggestions without throwing a question out there… you mention that “into.php” works… but you are not saying where it was created or so on (and I am assuming you mean a file containing phpinfo();)

    So, could I ask that you check if PHP is actually working in the virtual directory in which you have installed wordpress, by creating a file called say “test.php” in the same place you have wordpress installed (ie., same directory as wp-config.php) and put the following code in there:

    <?php phpinfo(); ?>

    And then call it from a client browser as http://example.com/test.php
