This is the first attempt I've made at running Sylbi under IIS. It has already been installed and tested on Apache (Windows and Linux).
In a fresh install of Windows XP, I performed the following steps.
- Installed IIS
- Installed ActiveState Perl: let it install ISAPI extensions for IIS
- Installed MySQL 5.0 Community Server GA Release - Typical option
.... Used "Standard Configuration" wizard
.... Set root password as "password"
- Downloaded latest ZIP of Sylbi from http://sylbi.arbingersys.com
- In MySQL Command Line Client ran the following commands:
create database sylbi;
create user sylbi;
grant all privileges on sylbi.* to 'sylbi'@'localhost'
identified by 'password' with grant option;
flush privileges;
- Restored Sylbi test database (included in download sylbi-X.XX.zip). From the command-line ran:
"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysql.exe" -u sylbi -ppassword sylbi < sqlbackup.sql
- Had to install DBD::MySQL - used ActiveState Package Manager (not included by default in ActiveState -- but most web hosting will have this module if they offer CGI).
- Created new Virtual Directory for CGI execution. Steps by screen capture (10 pictures, ~ 50-90K in size)
That was it. Opened Sylbi in a browser, logged in, and began posting.
