#914 Newbie question

[Anonymous]

Sorry, for this being such a newb question, I'm installing this on an IIS web server...

I have unpacked the MRBS files to the wwwroot directory,

for some reason I'm having a brain fart on the install guide where it says to upload to a suitable directory on your web server for example mydomain.com/mrbs

Are you saying create new site in IIS ?

Like I said brainfart, and newb question...

As All I want to do is just get the basic install... no customization to it yet.

[John Beranek]

Simplest way is to create directory like "mrbs" under your web root, and copy the files from the "web" directory in the MRBS zip to that directory, unless you want the top-level to be MRBS.

[Anonymous]

the directory is in the inetpub/wwwroot location

when I try to access it after adding to IIS as site MRBS ... Localhost::<port number="">/web/day.php

HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found

The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.

Do you have PHP running on your server?

[Anonymous]

How do I know if I got PHP running on the server?

how do I setup PHP to run on Server?

[Campbell Morrison]

If you don't know, then you probably haven't. To run MRBS you'll need both PHP and MySQL. You can download PHP from http://windows.php.net/ and MySQL from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/

Ok, I unpacked PHP onto the server I'm using.... the server has SQL already installed on it, but I will download the MySql .

but Very Confusing as to what to do after you unpack the PHP files from Zip to C:\php-5.6.19

Like I said Never setup PHP b4 ever and that goes for MySQL

[Campbell Morrison]

If you've got SQL there already, you may not need MySQL. What kind of SQL is it?

[Campbell Morrison]

Searching for "Install PHP on Windows" will probably help with PHP.

I tried to follow the installation step and when I click install for the PHP-CGI application , I get this error message:

"The Program can't start because the MSVCR110.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

What the heck does that mean? and I did google the "Install PHP on Windows" and I'm still lost as to how to get the dang PHP setup. this isnt not user friendly on how to get this setup

[Campbell Morrison]

Sorry it's difficult. However MRBS assumes the presence of a web server, PHP and MySQL. Getting that in place isn't really part of MRBS.

Another route you might like to try instead of using IIS, PHP and MySQL is to install XAMPP.

Well part of the problem is the php5isapi.dll is NOT in the Zip file

with out adding the isapi.dll, I'm now getting this error when I click on the IIS Site for MRBS and say Browse:
HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error
The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.

I have downloaded several of the PHP downloads to get the files, and I still do not see a ISAPI file in PHP 5.6.19 extract

Ok, here is an update:
I did everything on this page
http://php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis7.php
up to where it said to use the command line to create handler mapping...as that seemed to be setup already in prior steps.

where I try to call a page in the MRBS I get this error now:

The website cannot display the page
***** Top of Web Page ****
HTTP 500

Most likely causes:
•The website is under maintenance.
•The website has a programming error.

What you can try:

Refresh the page.

Go back to the previous page.
More information

This error (HTTP 500 Internal Server Error) means that the website you are visiting had a server problem which prevented the webpage from displaying.

For more information about HTTP errors, see Help.

What else do I need to do to get this application setup?

How do I verify that PHP is indeed setup to work???

[Anonymous]

Ok, I was finally able to get PHP to serve up a test file... now how do I get the MRBS configured with just the basic setup?

[Campbell Morrison]

Full instructions are in the INSTALL file.

[Anonymous]

Instruction are CONFUSING as all be

[Campbell Morrison]

A quick summary is

(1) Edit the config file (a) to include your database details and (b) to set the timezone
(2) Upload the contents of the web directory to your web server
(3) Create the database tables in MySQL using the tables.my.sql file and phpMyAdmin
(4) Point your browser at MRBS
(5) Click on the User List link in the top right hand corner to create an admin user
(6) Login as that user and create more users and some rooms

done

(3) Create the database tables in MySQL using the tables.my.sql file and phpMyAdmin

7 mrbs tables were created...

(4) Point your browser at MRBS

doesnt seem to want to work... says file was moved...

MYPHPAdmin and My SQL are installed and running

(5) Click on the User List link in the top right hand corner to create an admin user
(6) Login as that user and create more users and some rooms

[Campbell Morrison]

You'll need to download and install phpMyAdmin separately.

[John Beranek]

If you install and use XAMPP (which would be recommended if you've never run PHP and MySQL before) you'll get MySQL and phpMyAdmin (a web MySQL administration tool) installed by default

[John Beranek]

Another alternative to XAMPP is WampServer:

[John Beranek]

Here's a quick screenshot tour of installing MRBS on Windows with Wamp Server that I just created...

Now I get this:

thank you for your help....
