Hi,
I am on godaddy.com that has IIS7 which includes php v5. I am unfamiliar with how to setup a php5.ini file. I took an example one, ftp'ed it to the root and application root directory, restarted the application pool and attempted to fire up the application. I still get the error that the php environment .
Does anyone have a basic php5.ini file that would get me started? I would appreciate any help.
Doug

I would not say my use has been without incident, but I do find GoDaddy's Linux hosting reliable.
I have never needed to edit a php.ini file on Linux, so I regret to say I wouldn't be much help, though. Unlike many companies, GoDaddy's tech support people are actually able to tell the difference between keyboard and cupboard, so they really may be able to help.
However, if I may get on the soapbox, unless you really need Windows for some other reason, I'd dump IIS and shift to Linux/Apache. When I say I have not needed to edit a php.ini, I mean it. My site doesn't even have one. All versions of PhpGedView for the last many months have worked with the default that GoDaddy provides with Linux hosting. (I did at one point have to ask them to switch MySQL to version five but I think I've had PHP 5 all along.)

I get the following error:
ERROR 256: PDO/mysql is not installed.
Fatal error: PDO/mysql is not installed. in D:\Hosting\2727989\html\Kostelnik\includes\classes\class_pgv_db.php on line 102
I selected windows operating system because I work (as a DBA) in an IS shop that is mostly windows based, figuring I can get help from coworkers. Godaddy now has IISv7 which has v5 PHP support - the only issue is that *I* have to supply the php5.ini. Unfortunately we don't use PHP in my shop so I can get no help from my coworkers. I have directly asked godaddy for help and they absolutely do not offer any scripting support.
From godaddy website:
Your ability to add a php.ini file to your hosting account depends on the type of hosting account you are running:
Windows IIS6 accounts do not support PHP.
Windows IIS7 accounts always run PHP 5.
Linux accounts support both PHP 4 and PHP 5.
If you are running Linux, and need to determine which version of PHP you are running, see Find the Current PHP Version and Settings in Linux Shared or Dedicated Server Account.
IMPORTANT: If you are running PHP 4, name your initialization file php.ini. If you are running PHP 5, name your initialization file php5.ini. Always upload the initialization file to the root directory of your site.
I found a reference that I need to *include* the following line in my php5.ini file (D:\Hosting\2727989\html relates to my account):

Usually PHP downloads come with suggested PHP.INI files, with different options. Otherwise, you can simply Google your OS and configuration and see others PHP.INI setups. PGV operates perfectly on a well-configured server, but we don't usually become involved in doing so - that's the admin's responsibility to provide the correctly formatted platform.

I found the problem. Apparently the software has to be installed in the root directory. Once I installed it there the configuration screen came up immediately.

Doug,
I'm unfamiliar with GoDaddy, but many ISPs do not allow editing of PHP .ini files.
You seem to have left off the part of the sentence that might have let us know what error you are encountering. Could you correct this?
Does anyone know if it's possible to run PGV at GoDaddy?
George
IIRC, Wes runs PGV on GoDaddy, or has done so w/o incident. I'll send him a note and ask him to look.
