[support] Drupal 7 installation on Win2k3 R2 SP2 fully patched - no joy

[Kurt Buff]

OK.

It's interesting that the install process from the URL I posted installs PHP.

If you're correct, I'm thinking that the install package is fubared in some way.

I'll put on my google eyes and see what I can come up with.

I don't think php is configured correctly, as it's not even hitting the database.  My server mojo isn't great, so I'd attack the problem using your Google-fu and this new tactic of getting php to run correctly.  Good luck!

It seems that your browser isn't actually finding the files themselves, so might you be pointing to the wrong area?  It seems that you SHOULD be getting database errors if Drupal was installed incorrectly, but the virtual host was set correctly.  I hope that helps some and leads you in the right direction.

If you can pull it up (localhost/DrupalTest/test.html), then your host is working.  Otherwise, you have a problem with your non-Drupal settings, like vhost, Apache, etc.  Something isn't configured correctly to point at your files, from the sounds of it.
