Green Light to WordPress on 2006-01-22
After testing some blogging systems, WordPress won my heart!
Unfortunately, installing WordPress on Windows 2003 + IIS6, was not as easy as it should have been. IIS6 is so different from IIS5 – the web server that comes with Windows XP Pro – that people used to deploy PHP applications on that platform, might be surprised and defeated with the new challenges… Just search the Internet for sentences like “running PHP5 on Windows 2003 Server” and you’ll find loads of requests for help.
In fact, none of the solutions I found were 100% effective – that is why I will be publishing a step-by-step tutorial on how to do it. No one deserves to spend frustrating time, because of IIS6’s high security demands and low quality feedback, when something isn’t right.
I’ll edit this post (my first WordPress post!), to point that tutorial, when available.
