All,
Just joined the list - I've been tasked with installing this for and evaluation against DNN with the winner being selected for both our internal and external web presence.
I followed the directions at http://drupal.org/node/1130898 on a fresh VM from scratch, as noted in the subject line. The only variance I introduced in the install process is that I installed SQL Server Express 2008 R2 beforehand.
However, when I visit http://localhost/DrupalTest on the machine, I get a 404 error. Nothing I've tried seems to work, including an explicit browse to http://localhost/DrupalTest/install.php, stopping and starting both the web site and the w3svc, among other things.
I don't see anything in the event logs showing installation errors, and my my google-fu may be weak, because I'm turning up nothing in my searches on teh intarwebs. I also checked the web log, and it shows a 404 for the attempts as well.
The only things that I note that might provide clues (I'm not an IIS guru) are that:
o- PHP is not referenced for either the site or the virtual directory under Properties/Home Directory/Configuration/Mappings as an extension, nor is there an ISAPI filter of any sort for the web site.
and
o- Browsing to http://drupal.domain.tld from my own desk produces an "Under Construction" page, vs. http://drupal.domain.tld/install.php, which produces a 404 error.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on this?
Thanks,
Kurt
