First of all, I wanted to thank you for the invaluable guide installing IIS with PHP - your guide is the best! Got me all the way to my goal - installing Wordpress, which I imagine a number of folks are doing with this install.

Some things that came up during the installation:

1) I never found sections 2 and 4 - if you complete those that would be great!

2) Since I am using IIS 5 - the section on Web Service Extensions isn’t necessary - another blog help me figure that out - I would just note that.

3) The most difficult part of this installation stack is PHP. There are so many little configuration options, and you did a fantastic job of explaining them. I still don’t know if I got everything right, since I don’t see the session files, etc - but things seem OK.

but let me get to my comment.

You suggested adding a lot of extensions, which is great. But when it came time to install Wordpress, I started getting “Access Violation Error.” After a bit of digging someone noted that some of the extensions aren’t written for the multi-threaded IIS environment, so I commented all of the extensions, and things went smoothly from there. I thought this would be valuable. As well, it was hard for me to copy across all of the extensions - if you can put them in a list format so I could just copy and paste, that would be easiest!

Secondly, since many folks are going to use Wordpress, and especially mySQL with PHP, I would recommend adding a note to uncomment the mySQL dll extension.

Last comment - if you add a section 5 about installing and configuring wordpress, since you really seem to know it - that would make your blog the one resource we need!!

Thanks again!
