RE: Re: FW: Drupal for library staff intranet?

I think the first thing you need to try is installing PHP / MySQL on
that platform. That's probably your biggest hurdle there. It seems that
it is possible as there are a number of tutorials. Try Googling "php 5
iis6". That will get you through the PHP part. The MySQL install can we
done with the Windows installer. Then you'll need to configure PHP to
work with MySQL. Once you've got that working, try installing Drupal.

Googling "IIS Drupal" returns results suggesting that this is possible,
but that you will have to implement clean URLs in a different manner.

The best way to find out if this works is to try it. Perhaps you want to
experiment on a test machine first. Try getting it to work, and let us
know if your were successful.

Our library is looking into Drupal too. However the server we have is
Windows Server 2003 and we are required to use IIS 6 instead of Apache
as web server. Most of the documentation out there is for Apache, does
any library have experience with IIS 6 together with Drupal? Thanks and
have a nice day!
